Trump Tries to Pin Shutdown Blame on Democrats

Washington Post: “In 2014, Donald Trump sued to have his name taken off a pair of Atlantic City casinos he built three decades earlier that had gone bankrupt. It took the president just 10 days this month to remove his name from something else he once proudly owned but that wasn’t going great — the federal government shutdown.”

“After threatening a shutdown for months over border wall funding and vowing last week that he would ‘“take the mantle’ of responsibility, Trump tried to shift the blame Friday, just hours before a government funding bill expired at midnight.”

Tweeted Trump: “The Democrats now own the shutdown!”
