"Like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like." A New York Times/Siena College poll released Tuesday found that 26% of registered voters would blame Trump and Republicans in Congress for a shutdown, while 19% would blame congressional Democrats. If Trump decides to use a shutdown to purposefully hurt Americans, the polling could swing even harder against his party. But Trump is hell-bent on trying to blame Democrats for a shutdown, rather than negotiate. Don’t be fooled by any of the GOP rhetoric and lies: Trump wants a shutdown so he can hurt poor people and Democrats.
