.@realDonaldTrump rejects 100-0 Senate compromise he said he’d accept, manages only 47 Senate votes for Big Dumb Wall bill (48 w/ Pence), shuts down government.

Chaos and incompetence reign.
Wow.

Too busy with @foxandfriends?

Per @Politico Playbook: “why has PRESIDENT DONALD #TRUMP not spoken with Pelosi since Dec. 11? That's 18 days without contact between the president and the incoming speaker during a federal government shutdown.
“The White House has not reached out to Pelosi's staff to try to schedule a get together. There has been no outreach to Pelosi at all from VP MIKE PENCE or INTERIM CHIEF OF STAFF MICK MULVANEY.” politico.com/playbook
That train left town long ago. cnn.com/2019/01/02/pol…
This is a good summary of the state of play in the #TrumpShutdown; and the frustration of #Republicans with @realdonaldTrump, first for causing it after a deal was reached, and then for being unable to negotiate honestly to end it. news.vice.com/en_us/article/…
