President Donald Trump once again unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding, threatening press conference, this time following his White House meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse causing the government shutdown.
In a long, meandering briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.
“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“
When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”
Trump also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of national emergency over border security to build it without congressional approval.
“I could do it if I wanted,” Trump said.
just so you know all the people not getting paid are also at risk of not getting unemployment either because the shutdown has gone on so long. ppls food, disability, and Medicaid benefits are going to b restricted. he is literally willing to let Even More people starve and die for a stupid fucking wall he won’t even be able to build. i don’t want hear shit about “negotiating” and uwu seeing the other side. he is killing people.

I’m so ready to get some rest this weekend. I thought that I would never EVER look forward to the weekends without my kids. It still really makes me sad because I always want to make sure they’re happy & comfortable at every second. But I’m understanding that it’s my chance to rest & do things that I really want to do. Having that time makes me a better mom, no matter how much I’d rather just have them here with me all of the time. I’m just so weary.

Y'all. Look how happy she is. I hope she takes over & gives the employees adequate pay so that they don’t have to fear going to the bathroom, pays the taxes back to the communities & gives away tons of money to charities & does the right thing with all of that money ✨👏✨
We’re watching Night at the Museum & it’s so good. It’s really hard to convince the kids to watch “live action” movies instead of animated movies. Also, they assume that if I suggest it, it’s old & lame. So I’m pretty excited that we have 2 more parts to watch together & it’s interesting for all 3 of us 💖
I may have accidentally collapsed in a heap on the bed. I see coffee in my very near future. Taking megadoses of vitamin D is helping a lot already, though. I’ve had more energy & mental clarity this week than I’ve had in a couple of months👌
