1. Every time I believe Trump has said the stupidest thing of his life...he shows I underestimate the depths of his ignorance.

Now he says he’ll pay for the wall from the savings of shutting down government. The 2013 shutdown cost us $24 billion. Unpaid salaries/obligations...
2...still must be paid. Payment is DELAYED, not canceled. On the other side, government revenue lost - such as from national parks - is gone. The future revenue will not include the lost revenue during the shutdown. This is basic.

That we have a president who is so stupid...
3...that he is engaged in a government shutdown without even knowing the basic information about what that means to federal budgets and economic impact is astonishing.

The depths of Trumps financial stupidity is why only one bank in the world still will lend his company money.
