Video of him saying so

Can anyone actually argue that he's NOT a manchild at this point?

My guess is they'd rather see a shutdown than spend 1.5b or however much on a wall

I dunno, I kinda liked the last government shutdown we had.

Saved a lot of money and nothing was different that I could tell.

You would think so but the term is misleading. A lot of critical stuff stays open.

Well seeing him own it is good instead of trying to pretend it's the Dems fault! when there is a shutdown.

That said, this is definitely going to be one of those past quotes that contradicts himself when they do end up blaming the Dems.

Yeah, Republicans don't really care if the government shuts down so it'll really down to Democrats and Independents on whether they think there should be compromise on a wall and if it's worth shutting it down

yup!

it's funny how extensive the profile of a Trump supporter is. certain behaviors are just automatically associated with them, and they usually don't want to be held accountable for any of it

I'm pretty sure the masses were misinterpreting that comment. They're "paying for it" through our stricter immigration policies and stronger border defense. The few criminals that would try to cross over illegally will no longer be able to do so. Thus, Mexico would have the burden of dealing with those problems. It was never about finances.

What else do you think he meant by those comments? If Mexico was seriously expected to finance OUR construction project (lol). I'm pretty sure Trump would have put a serious effort into negotiating terms.
