It's the weekend edition which means we get to look back at all the crazy over the last 48 hours. It all started with this tweet:
And this one:The Wall is the Wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it. Parts will be, of necessity, see through and it was never intended to be built in areas where there is natural protection such as mountains, wastelands or tough rivers or water.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2018
Oh right, this one too:....The Wall will be paid for, directly or indirectly, or through longer term reimbursement, by Mexico, which has a ridiculous $71 billion dollar trade surplus with the U.S. The $20 billion dollar Wall is “peanuts” compared to what Mexico makes from the U.S. NAFTA is a bad joke!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2018
OK so maybe it actually started with White House Chief of Staff Kelly saying that there would be no wall and Mexico would not pay for it, calling Trump "uninformed."We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2018
But where it went became very dangerous. Rather than push Republicans to vote for the bipartisan funding bill that would keep the government from shutting down, Trump suddenly demanded of them, "if there is no Wall, there is no Deal!"
On top of that, he and the rest of the Republicans continued to hold CHIP and DACA hostage, trying to wedge Democrats in and force them to choose between the two. Essentially, they took popular programs, turned each one of them into a crisis and then put them in a pit to create a third crisis.
What's that Susan Sarandon? Hillary would have been worse? It's not your kids being given a death sentence.
And so obviously as goes everything with Trump, the worst possible outcome occurred.Trump must think all of our children look like Ivanka because by letting #CHIP expire, he's fucking them like #StormyDaniels. pic.twitter.com/5cJYlUDwhP— Daily Comb Over (@tgcCombover) January 19, 2018
The government just shutdown, giving us the border wall of Trump's dreams:
