The longest shutdown in history was under Obama when he threw a hissy fit about his Obamacare. Ironically that's precisely what's causing this shut down too.

Trump promised a health care plan in his first term, and still has never presented one! A SNAP benefits bill was presented in the Senate, and was shut down by Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Tell us again who is responsible for the current fiascos. 💚

You democrats don’t even get it yet, this shutdown that the democrats have done and are going to cause millions of Americans to suffer is only the beginning. If Mamdani is elected in New York, that’s going to be the end of the democrat party as we know it. You say you don’t like Trump because he’s a dictator well if democrats ever get back in office if Mamdani is elected then we’ll all find out what it’s like to be under a true dictator! And then you’ll wish you had Trump back because believe me they mean to take away all of our freedoms

In a 2013 interview during the Obama administration, Trump stated: "A government shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak." He also added, "If there is a shutdown I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together".🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

why would the democrats extort Trump. it's the GOP that are holding out, the only reason is affordable care act started by Obama while he was in in his second term of the presidency which was specifically for people who could afford health insurance. Again the GOP doesn't give a shit about the people.

Nah, he just doesn't have the ability to bring people together. His only talent is spreading hate and divisiveness. In other words, he is a poor leader or he would have already stepped up and done something. So, put the blame where it belongs, at the top👍

🤔OBAMA 2013, "YOU DO NOT BLACKMAIL A PRESIDENT" "No Congress before this one has ever, ever, in history, been irresponsible enough to threaten default, to threaten an economic shutdown, to suggest America not pay its bills just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions." .." SORRY. NOT TRUE. DEMOCRAT Senate MINORITY CHUCKIE SCHUMER MADE HISTORY and is irresponsible enough to threaten default, to threaten an economic shutdown and demands $1.5 TRILLION to REOPEN GOVERNMENT.

There's no extortion. The Dems signed on to a CR the last time with the expectation concessions would be made while keeping the government open. It never happened. Now they expect the Dems to sign off on yet another CR. The Republicans are the ones extorting. Sign the supposed clean CR so we can kill Healthcare for our wealthy friends, OR we will keep the government shut down and starve hundreds of thousands of people. This is why Republicans have sucked when governing since WW2. This, amongst several other idiotic moves, is why Trumps numbers are in the tank and democrats are flipping seats. Keep up the good work guys, at some point, you will lose BOTH chambers.

There is no extortion by Democrats. Let’s have another, truth check on that comment. This is Trump throwing another one of his childish, and dramatic fits. He wants to have everything, HE WANTS, instead of working out a deal like any other republican, or Democrat, president. So much for being the king of the deal makers, LMAO. Just another lie, that a certain group of people, will believe 😆😆😆
