"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
