MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY
‘I Am All Alone (Poor Me) in the White House’: Trump Goes Off the Rails in Pre-Christmas 24 Hour Tweetstorm
It’s Christmas Eve. The markets are tanking after the Treasury Secretary posted a statement causing even greater panic. The partial shutdown of the federal government has entered its third day.
President Trump over the past 24 hours or so has posted 22 tweets, including some just minutes before midnight. He’s attacked the Federal Reserve, Democrats, foreign allies, his own anti-ISIS coalition chief, the “FAKE NEWS,” and his outgoing Secretary of Defense, Jim Mattis.
He did find time to praise Saudi Arabia, the country responsible for the assassination of a Washington Post journalist.
Trump’s own administration is in tatters. His Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Interior, UN Ambassador, and Chief of Staff are all exiting in the next week. He has only acting officials heading up the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency.
That’s just for starters.
And yet, the President of the United States, unable to travel to Mar-a-Lago for a 16-day planned vacation, is stuck in the White House – only for optics – because he shut his own Republican-majority government down.
So he’s tweeting.
His latest – no joke: “I am all alone (poor me) in the White House,” as he attacks Democrats for the shutdown he proudly boasted he would not only cause, but take credit for.
I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!
