The President's attack on the Democatic Party today should be the dominant headline across media

today.
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-china-honorable-opposition-democrats-1286902

President Donald Trump has expressed his frustration with the Democratic leadership amid a government shutdown by claiming Chinese officials were easier to work with.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump took aim Thursday specifically at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who have challenged the Republican leader's request for $5.7 billion to build a southern border wall to curb the flow of undocumented immigration into the country. Failed attempts to come up with a spending bill due to this issue have led to a now 19-day suspension of federal services at a time when the United States was also engaged in tough trade talks with China.

"I find China, frankly in many ways, to be far more honorable than cryin' Chuck and Nancy," Trump said. "I think that China is actually much easier to deal with than the opposition party."

Then he called them intransigent.

Sorry M$Greedia - you fucked up big time. Newsweek that is shocking!!! Expressed his frustration? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

In and of itself a reason for removal from office. The U.S. president works for me and every American taxpayer regardless of political party affiliation. How dare he presume to insult and punish us.

Some staffer told him to call them intransigent in an effort to make him look smarter after he misspelled the word "forest" yesterday.

emotional trauma? I'm at the end of my rope with him, his family and his republican cheerleaders. Enough already.
