Trump Tells McCarthy Shut 'er Down: He Thinks a Government Shutdown Will Somehow Save Him

FYI: Trump Holds All-Time Gov Shutdown Record

Opinion from GOP TN House Rep
(I wonder what Trump & McCarthy think)

This Trump owned and operated GOP harps 24/7 that hhe DEMS and President Biden have are “weaponized” government for political gain against them. 

What a bunch of hypocrites and especially as noted in by Director Trump as seen in this article from BUSINESS INSIDER with this headline:

“Trump, who led the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, calls on Republicans to let it happen again in 9 days so they can defund these political prosecutions against me”

·  The government will shut down in nine days   if Congress cannot reach a funding   agreement.

·  Trump called on Republicans to let that   happen if it means refusing to cave on   spending cuts.

·  Kevin McCarthy is facing opposition from   some GOP holdouts who won't pass a bill   with Democrats.

We are nine days away from experiencing yet another government shutdown.

Trump led a 35-day shutdown in 2019 – the longest in our nation’s history and another first for Trump.

He loves to brag about is list of firsts, now add this one, too. 

That cost us $5 billion and we saw 1,073,000 out of a job. 

Now he says let it happen now again.

Trump posted on his SOCIALIST UNTRUTH page: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. 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!”

My 2 Cents: Related VOX article with a short “Morning Joe” video clip and quip from Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN). 

I can’t imagine any presidential or other candidate like Trump calling for a government shutdown. 

I have never heard anything like this in my lifetime. 

I say: Get lost Mr. Trump and take Speaker Kevin McCarthy with you, too. 

Thanks for stopping by.
