"Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top and the president's the leader. And he's got to get everybody in a room and he's got to lead... when they talk about the government shutdown, they're going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They're not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head the Senate, who's running things in Washington, so I really think the pressure is on the president."
-Donald J Trump, 2013
What did he mean by this?
Christopher Gutierrez
Same as it ever was, Trump predicting the future, then forgetting it 5 seconds later.
Blake Morgan
It means fuck off, shill
Angel Hughes
Very well thought out response, care to elaborate?
Carson Morris
so OP, when the government shutdown under Obama, it was his fault, right?
Xavier Fisher
MAGA #SchumerShutdown Dems want to defenend illegals, that's all there is to it
Jose Perry
>BUT OBAU
I though Trump was supposed to be the master deal maker? Why could he do that tonight?
Carson Bell
I don't know, a few years ago I was told it's congress' responsibility so I'm going with that, can't go against CNN and Obama after all.
Blake Mitchell
You don't have a moral highground. Why exactly do you think anyone here will be phased by a hypocrite calling us hypocritical? It's good when we do it, it's bad when you do it and vice versa.
Let's drop the pretense that we are fellow countrymen, and admit that we hate each other and wish each other ill.
Ian Moore
He meant: die Kikefag, die.
Sebastian Flores
Sometimes you have to walk away, the "deal" isn't over yet when one side is being unreasonable.
Bentley Cruz
Who is the hypocrite, me or Trump? It was Obama's fault when he was pres, but now he gets off scott free now that he and the repubicans have control of the government?
James Nguyen
Answer the question faggot.
Nathan Wilson
Lubcucks will never give a straight answer
Nathan Scott
Because anyone with a hint higher than a nigger knows that this bill was bad from the start
Luke King
You're surprised about a politician changing their stance once the shoe is on the other foot? Is this your first year following politics?
Blake Clark
"And he's got to get everybody in a room and he's got to lead"
He did that, remember? He live streamed it. Democrats have been out to get him since day one, and never intended on working with him. Stop pretending.
Andrew Hernandez
Quick rundown for those of us who just woke up? What's happening?
Michael Morgan
>Deflection >Deflection >Deflection
The question is simply, whos responsibility is it for tonight's shutdown? Obama hasn't held office for a year, and Republicans control all 3 branches of government.
So it's still his fault he didn't make a deal, right? I'm only using his own words here.
Bentley Richardson
Did Obama even try to meet with Congress?
You have to be a retard to support Dems who care more about illegals than citizens and the US.
Wyatt Wood
So we'll just take it as a yes that it was Obama's fault when the government shut down.
Aaron Ramirez
He even did that today with Schumer and others I believe.
Elijah Myers
Was it? Because I remember the shutdown on Obama getting blamed on the Republicans.
Logan Johnson
>Republicans control all 3 branches of government Means nothing unless they have a large majority.
Nathan Stewart
>It was Obama's fault when he was pres It was blamed on the republicans, so this one will be blamed on the democrats.
Jose Turner
The Dems fucked around too much, especially with muh Russia and now this. They don’t realize who Trump is, or the massive balls he has to release the memo. They’ll be eternally fucked now. Schumer was too late. His Dominican pizza party days are numbered in single digits.
Leo White
Which means, say it together now... It was Trump's fault the government shutdown today!
Aaron Lopez
>Senate Democrats derail bill to avert government shutdown
That was mentioned on FOX, said it was from an AP article. Can't find it from AP though.
Charles Hill
How about my other question If Trump is meeting to solve it, hardly his fault.
Aiden Cooper
It's insinuating that Trump will be blamed for the house and Senate dems not budging on small shit, it's a compromise thing. At the end of the day idiots won't thing about the truth, and blame Trump, he's just pointing out what's gonna happen dipshit.
Aaron Mitchell
Why do you think Trump is working so hard to create a compromise with the Democrats? He knows this is true, and trying his hardest to find a compromise. That being said, you can't compromise with those who are unwilling to to so themselves. Trump can take the heat, and Democrats will pay for it =]
Gavin Mitchell
Bipartisan proposal was presented to Trump at his request and he rejected it. Do tell me more of how it is the Dem's fault now once you wipe the semen off your face.
Joseph Davis
They had a deal, including the preservation of DACA, until Dick Durbin put out a fake quote to cause a media meltdown with the full backing of Chuck Schumer. Senate Democrats own this through and through. There is a spending bill waiting to be voted on. Democrats don't oppose anything in the bill but they will not vote for it because they lost the election in 2016.
Luis Jenkins
lol who even cares if it was? good. pathetic democrats are scared to even budge on small stuff trump asked, so he just shut it down and showed the US that dems care more for illegal spics than americans. trump just stays winning and losers can't see it lmao
Zachary Murphy
Moron, we wanted the shut down dumbass
Jayden Lee
So over this shit. Just drop the real dirt and let’s be done with the charade.
Hudson Ross
Obama in fact did meet with both Democrats and Republicans!
usatoday.com/amp/2954963
So if he tried to meet with them and make a deal, it's hardly his fault, right? Your words. Or does the pressure fall on the president? Trump's words. Just need to know whose words I should follow.
Jason Green
These retards will jump through any mental hoop, even if it gives them a fucking aneurism. Top. Fucking. Kek.
Ayden Long
why is the government shutting down ? pls real answers
Owen Rodriguez
>usatoday.com/amp/2954963
That's giving 404. Guess his meeting did exist either.
Ryan Jenkins
What don't you understand? He said exactly what he means, the pressure is on the president. Doesn't matter that this shutdown is 100% the Democrats' fault, the pressure is on Trump to get the government running again because the stupid MSM is going to report it as Trump's shutdown regardless.
Dominic Walker
Convincing Democrats to vote yes in the Senate to stop a government shutdown. Wishful thinking even for you.
Ayden Torres
Dems care for illegals more than US citizens. Snowflakes are upset about DACA not being continued and for mean words.
Isaiah Wood
He knows that DACA or any kind of amnesty are 100% unacceptable. He is doing his job right now, exactly as I expect him to.
If he cuts a deal that includes DACA I will be fucking pissed. I'd rather he LITERALLY burn this motherfucker down. The last time we let a "harmless" 3 million illegals have amnesty, they permanently turned California blue and now democrats get 55 EVs for free and the state government has lost its FUCKING mind.
Send national guard troops to shoot or arrest our AG, Governor, and Senators, in that order of preference, fucking traitors.
