I did NOT see this coming!
Fox reporter: Who’s getting fired? Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a shutdown of our government?
Trump: Well if you say ‘who gets fired’, it always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top and have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader and he has to get everyone in a room and lead and he doesn’t do that. He doesn’t like doing that — that is not his strength. And that’s why you have this horrible situation going on in Washington too. It’s a very, very bad thing and it’s also embarrassing worldwide. Link
Wow! That's an unbelievably candid assessment of Trump's shutdown, a shutdown Congress was prepared to avoid until Paul Ryan weaseled out and put up a funding bill with billions for a border wall he knew the Senate couldn't pass. Had the House just voted out the Senate bill, Trump would've signed it, being a bully and a coward and unwilling to take responsibility. But Ryan let Trump off the hook for the veto, and here we are in a partial shutdown. And now, Trump calls for his own firing!
Oh, wait. Trump was talking about firing Obama when Republicans shut down the government in 2013 in an attempt to kill Obamacare.
Never mind.
