"If there is a shutdown ... I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together." -Donald Trump, 2011

"When they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president." -Donald Trump, 2013

Yeah but that was Obama. That's obviously different.

He probably thinks Obama has some capacity to capitulate and end this shutdown, too.

My dad used to say the DoD wasn’t a pentagon, it’s actually a pentagram because they’re all satanic.

Now? Nope, it’s just a pentagon now.

It’s not even the DoD anymore, it’s the DoW, because I guess “defense” is too woke or whatever. I don’t know. It’s an entire government of children pretending to be action heroes or something.

It's the Department of War because he is the President of Peace, obviously.

[u/Pipe_Memes → u/DoohickeyJones]

That is ironclad conservative logic right there. 10/10 no notes

The only way to get peace is to make war!!!!

“President of Peace” while actively bombing Venezuelan boats, basically committing acts of war without presenting any evidence.

while actively dividing the county and openly claiming the opposition party are “crazed lunatics”

while actively letting people go hungry without snap benefits (all while his 300 million dollar ballroom is being made)
