Not even Idiocracy could imagine such immense stupidity. Pure brainrot. The USA are not a serious country anymore.

Trump seems to have no inhibitions about his posts.

To be fair though, this shutdown was brought about by Congress. The Senate has not approved a bill, so the POTUS has nothing to sign.

The President typically has a lot of influence over party members in normal times, the Republican sychopants who are in Congress now will do whatever he says. A bipartisan border bill was killed before Trump even got re-elected[0] simply because he didn't want it passed.

Face it: The lobbyists own congress. This shutdown exists because one group of lobbyists is unhappy about the gravy train drying up.
