Trump Reaches Out

President Trump has reached out to Democrats in the hope of brokering a deal that would reopen the government. The Hill reports:

President Trump on Saturday called on Democrats to “come on over and make a deal” as the partial government shutdown enters its eighth day with no agreement in sight.

“I am in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come on over and make a deal on Border Security,” Trump tweeted late Saturday morning.

“From what I hear, they are spending so much time on Presidential Harassment that they have little time left for things like stopping crime and our military!”

The tweet came the morning after Trump huddled with Vice President Pence, incoming acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner at a closed-door dinner.

Now is the time to make a deal, but the President has indicated his willingness to stick to the shutdown if Democrats refuse to allocate money to protect the border.

Nobody will miss the government and over the long haul, people will realize how unnecessary most of it is.

A few days ago Trump said the “shutdown” affects mostly democrats. People have no idea just how accurate Trump is with that comment. All government civil service is and has always been a gigantic “JOBS PROGRAM FOR LIBERALS”. It is also a totally “generational thing”. meaning generations of the same family has obtained government jobs because it was designed to operate that way.

The dems are monsters and they want to stay the obstructionist -so let the people see them for what they are. They think they know better and that their agenda is better –far from it. We want your agenda so stick to it. A lot of us are seeing what your trying to achieve and we are with you throu thick and thin.

Compromise is the Road to Defeat, Democrats will never work with President Trump or the American People. They are communist of the first Degree! I hope President Trump, isn’t fished into agreeing with the Democrats on this.

Pres Trump needs to use Defense funding to build the wall…. Defense means protecting America and its citizens… Forget the Democrats as they will not work with anyone especially President Trump…… Dump the socialists Democrats and the DNC needs to move to more centralizing position and work with all parties for the good of the American people….. remember…. WE THE PEOPLE put you in office and WE THE PEOPLE can take you out..

The demoDorks have one thing in mind, and its NOT for America. Picking up congressional seats and sticking another filthy demotard in the white house in 2020 is all they strive for. Expect the next two years to be nasty, expect the traitor media to achieve new lows, expect further division from our leftist seditionists in every corner of our deep state. They should take note, the compromise will come from us, by not taking to the streets and hanging every leftist pervert and traitor in the land….

Each time there is a shut down and they go back to work Congress votes them all pay lost. Trump should not sign it. Democrats need to feel the heat , because they caused this. Do you or I get a paid vacation if the company we work for shuts down? I don’t think so.

You are totally correct about that. Not only do they get “extra vacation time off” but they always get paid for it later. They should be forced to work under the same rules and regulations that people in the private sector do.

If the government “shuts down”, the employees of the shut-down agencies are not fired. They are sent home and are entitled to their salaries until they are actually fired. As no funds are authorized to pay the employees, they must await funding until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved, the employees are paid, pursuant to their contract of employment. No additional government action is needed for this to occur AND it cannot be stopped.

No compromising, they never do, so we shouldn’t either. They own this shut down, let them keep it. They are guilty of murder rape and a slew of other crimes, they hate Americans and America, “F” um.

Here is good advise for Trump. STOP TALKING. You are beginning to sound weak and as if you are BEGGING. Just let this set. Let the government employees miss a couple of checks. Let them do the talking for you.
After this has set a while, it will begin to stink. Right now, the Dems are being silent and letting you sound desperate. REVERSE THIS.

Mr. President — there is NO compromising with the demoTRASH scum. If you give an inch — you might as well just give them the White House. They deserve ZERO compromise. Find the money needed from other funds and build the wall in its entirety. Stop trying to be Mr Nice Guy — tell the demoSCUM to go f*** themselves and get the border secured.

The president has publicly reached out to the democRATS to find an end to the shut down but they have declined to give him an answer so now the president should step back and let them stew in their own juice, make them do the asking for a solution and dropping the funding for the border wall is not the solution

And just shut down the southern border to immigration altogether until a wall is built. NO MORE ILLIGAL VOTERS FOR THE DEMOCOMMIES.

It is totally not about what the American people want with border security it’s about the Democrats and their wanting to achieve voter control by using illegal immergrants.jgb

President Trump and his Administration are doing the right thing in protecting the American people from the drugs, crime and the worst people that are coming across the border to infiltrate our security and cause immeasurable suffering at the expense of all the good Americans. Keep up the good work President Trump, the American people see right through what the Democratic Communist Party is up to, and we are with you all the way. And by the way sir, thank you for keeping us and our families safe and secure. Sincerely, Martin Korab

Good Call Mr. President!

Don’t let them bully you and put the lives of the US citizens at risk! My ancestors came here in the 1600’s longing to ‘live free’! As the daughter of a WWII Navy officer (minesweepers – Atlantic and Pacific theatres) I never thought I would fear living in my own country but I will NEVER willingly leave her!
You are the only one who can save America now – along with those of us who love you and love our country!
Happy New Year to you, your family and all those who love America! We are SO proud of our first family! – it was a LONG 8 years for us to feel that way again!

Good people can not deal or compromise with bad people and come up with anything good, because of the old saying one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel. Mr. President Trump don’t compromise with crooks.

Americans ( the Legals): the demoncrats will not even “counter” President Trump for the Great American Wall. His response will be “the price for the Wall has now gone up to $ 30 Billion”. That would Fully-Fund the Wall ! If they do not Accept that, they can “love it or leave it” along with their illegals.

No amnesty President Trump. That is what got this mess going in Reagan’s time. And you can NOT trust the dem wits. Amnesty is the end of my support for you if you are that foolish. Keep the government shut down and do not listen to the Gang of Eight losers still around. Rinos and dem wits lie profusely!
