As stupid as it sounds, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he really thought. Maybe this is what he meant when he said he was going to scrounge up some money from other departments without Congressional approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe by “Shutdown money” Trump is trying to imply the amount of money he believes he will be able to negotiate for his wall by shutting down the government.

Google and Amazon Web Services have dedicated their entire data center fleets to computing WTF Trump meant. Early analysis points to a possible solution to the tweet within 15 years given current computational power and methods. If your Youtube loads slowly tonight you know why now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he's thinking they won't pay furloughed Federal Employees and use the money for the wall..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Also, I thought Melanie and Barron were in Florida already, but it turns out she was in the White House when he sent the "all alone" tweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there is some middle ground between cliche, rote political platitudes and someone so devoid of empathy or filters that it doesn't occur to them not to tell a kid there's no Santa.

sexy_shapiro Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Eh, if she’s seven I’m sure she’s already aware that not everyone believes in Santa. What Trump said was awkward but I doubt he shattered her worldview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
