Schumer noted that he asked the president why he wouldnt end the shutdown and Trump couldnt answer.
I asked him directly, Schumer told the press. I said, Mr. President, give me one good reason why you should continue your shutdown of the eight cabinet departments while we are debating our differences on homeland security? He could not give a good answer.

(82,849 posts)Could he give a bad answer? Let's see if Trump has a tantrum about this; I'm guessing yes. Trump's problem now, though, is that the Democratic leadership has to be invited to his little confabs, and they're not in any mood to accommodate whatever hobgoblin is currently prancing around in Trump's brain.
There's a new game being dealt, Donald. And if you haven't spotted the fish yet, look in a mirror.

Hopefully he won't, and they will.

Usually means a face that needs to be slapped, but I like the alternate translation. "A face badly in need of a fist."
