Donald Trump is easily influenced by his favorite morning show and today was no different since right after Pete Hegseth told Fox and Friends viewers that Trump should shut down the federal government if he doesn't get funding for his xenophobic border wall, Trump tweeted out in kind.
Who knew a president could order a government shutdown via Twitter? I thought funding the government was the job of Congress.
I guess living in a banana republic has its perks for its ruler.
On Fox and Friends Sunday, at 6:08 am EST, one of Trump's favorite lackeys, Pete Hegseth, was bashing Sen. Mitch McConnell over an upcoming September funding bill and praising Trump as he regularly does.
After Mitch McConnell said during a radio interview on Friday that funding for Trump's wall would wait till after the midterm elections and the govt would remain open, Pete was in a mood.
At 6:09 am EST:
Hegseth said, "I will take you into the wayback flashback machine. President Trump from May of 2018 said, "our border and our laws are a mess, our immigration laws are a disgrace. We may have to close up our country to get that straight." He said multiple times that a shutdown will happen if the border wall is not funded."
