Trump, who led the longest government shutdown in US history, calls on Republicans to let it happen

-snip-

Trump, who was responsible for the longest government shutdown in US history, urged Republicans to make the most of the "very important deadline" to keep the government funded.

"Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden's weaponized Government that refuses to close the Border, and treats half the Country as Enemies of the State," Trump posted on his site. "This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots. They failed on the debt limit, but they must not fail now. Use the power of the purse and defend the Country!"

With regards to the debt limit, Trump is referring to the concessions Republicans had to make with Democrats in order to raise the limit and ensure the government could continue covering its spending obligations. They did not get the spending cuts they had hoped to achieve within that bill, which is why Trump is urging them to hold the line on government funding.

He should be charged with treason. The walking, yammering POS thinks he's
the most important thing on earth.

And he DID weaponize the government against its citizens at the start of Covid when people were dying in the blue states: “You’re on your own, get your own equipment, don’t look to us” he declared.
And, if the tiny-handed rapist had had his way, peaceful BLM demonstrators would have been shot, maimed and killed.
Every accusation a confession, as usual with the pukes.

investigations and prosecutions continue no matter what. Dripshit is being told bullshit by those around him again. The law isn't stopped by a GQP congress of morons. This proves how dumb they are. Simply put. As for Dripshit, can someone do me a favor?

I was downtown last night, near Trump Tower. It was very late at night but somehow I met this very nice woman. She was so friendly and dressed up so nice and she told me that for $50 she's do anything I asked.

So I asked, "How's your aim?"
