  3. Interesting that Trump’s Shutdown is viewed as anything else.

    Trump’s own words in 2011:

    “In my opinion, I hear the Democrats are gonna be blamed, I hear Republicans are gonna be blamed, I actually think the president would be blamed,” he said. “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.”

    Trump’s own words in 2013:

    “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,” Trump said. “They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president.”
