Stewing in a shutdown of his own doing, Donald Trump spent Christmas, not in sunny Florida, but in a deserted Washington buttoned up in the White House. The same for New Year’s. No Mar-a-Lago to ring in 2019.
The old man’s tweets about closing the Mexican border unless he gets his Wall are less threats than pathetic cry-babying.
His fellow Republicans, defeated in the House, have given up. The shutdown will be for the Democrats to deal with starting at noon on Jan. 3.
And as for those 800,000 paycheck-less federal workers, your President has now ruined Christmas and New Year’s for your families.
