President Trump is still chasing the Twitter green dragon again this morning. Here’s what he had to say.
First he said he talked to the NYT publisher about why the media is America’s great enemy!
Had a very good and interesting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times. Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, “Enemy of the People.” Sad!

Can’t wait to hear more about that!
Then he touted the economics numbers under his watch:
The biggest and best results coming out of the good GDP report was that the quarterly Trade Deficit has been reduced by $52 Billion and, of course, the historically low unemployment numbers, especially for African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Women.

Some “experts” might quibble that his tax cuts haven’t been in effect enough to register a big difference, but experts are IDIOTS anyway.
Then we get down to the nitty gritty:
I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!

He’s made this threat before, but I could see him doing it. The media would blame every Republican since Lincoln, but who knows if he’d be able to use his ability to hog the media spotlight to overcome them. I could also see the Democrats digging their heels on this one – can you imagine the hosannas if he’s able to force them to build the wall? They have to know what an enormous defeat for them it would be.
One thing’s for sure, Trump is going to continue giving us thrills and surprises. Also #MAGA!!
