    “If the president pursues this path, against the wishes of both Republicans and Democrats, as well as the majority of the American people, he will be heading towards a government shutdown which nobody will like and which won’t accomplish anything,” Schumer said in a statement.

    Chuck the clown Shumer and his fellow
    unhinged counterpart, Kirsten Gillibrand, have yet to introduce a single piece of legislation during President Trump’s tenure. Two pathetic excuses for senators.

    Trump needs someone to teach him how to count. There are fewer than 50 senators that are still willing to put up with him. That’s not enough to win a vote over which take-out joint to order lunch from.
