Trump said that if the government shuts down, it will be Biden’s fault because he, Trump, says so.
President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday took credit for killing the House Republican-proposed government funding bill, telling ABC News there will be a government shutdown unless Congress extends the limit on government borrowing or eliminates the debt ceiling entirely.
“We’re not going to fall into the debt ceiling quicksand,” Trump said in an exclusive phone interview. “There won’t be anything approved unless the debt ceiling is done with.”
“By doing what I’m doing, I put it into the Biden administration,” Trump said. “In this administration, not in my administration.”
“Shutdowns only inure to the person who’s president,” Trump said. “That’s what I tried to teach [former House Speaker] Kevin McCarthy, but I obviously didn’t do a very good job [with] a shutdown because he kept giving them extensions into my territory, a shutdown only hurts or inures to the person who happens to be president.”
Well let them
shut down the government and keep it closed until January 20, 2025, and then it will be on Trump.
Many government employees, including those in the armed services and border patrol, will work without pay for one month. They will know that it was the Republicans following Trump’s order that caused the shutdown. Just cause Trump says it will be Biden’s fault does not make it so. Even all those idiots who voted for Trump can’t be that stupid.
Most storm relief money will go to states that voted for Trump, letting them live off his love for them. They should have had insurance to cover their damages. I pay over $12,000 a year for insurance to cover losses on my house, which is not that valuable. If I can, so can they or let them borrow money from the small business administration.
