The White House's public comment telephone line isn't accepting calls amid the ongoing government shutdown, and its recently updated recorded message blames it on Democrats.
Upon calling the comment line Sunday morning at (202) 456-1111, a woman's voice reads the following message:
"Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today because congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate," she says.
"Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down," she continues. "In the meantime, you can leave a comment for the president at www.whitehouse.gov/contact. We look forward to taking your calls as soon as the government reopens."
The call then disconnects.
The government shutdown stretched into its second day on Sunday, with no clear indication that an agreement to reopen it is imminent.
Meanwhile, Republicans and Democrats have steadfastly blamed the other side for causing the shutdown.
Democrats have opposed any funding measure that doesn't include assurances for addressing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Republicans have argued that by doing so, Democrats are holding government funding hostage.
Democrats have pinned the blame on Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress, and President Trump in particular, saying the president changes his positions too frequently to be a reliable negotiating partner.

Friggen HYSTERICAL. The Dems, no doubt, put out the word to their bots to call the White House and DEMAND that Trump capitulate. And all they get is this message. HYSTERICAL!
Only other thing that should’ve been included was a reference to the “SCHUMER shutdown”.
#Schumershutdown.
Gotta love PDJT...
The man is absolutely fearless and entirely his own man. That’s the benefit of having “F-You Money”; NO ONE owns you.
This is freakin’ brilliant!!
Best. Election. Evah!
Dang - I just love these guys. They really know how to have fun with the pompous RINOs & Dems

Love it!
Have to love it.
Trump trolls them like a Boss.
Any Bushes watching? This is what a real Potus looks like.
A voicemail Twitter rant. LMAO.
Vastly better than the usual hand wringing, pearl clutching and pants wetting from the Republicans.
Any Bushes watching? This is what a real Potus looks like.

And what productive leadership with a real vision looks like.
Trump makes all of the recent presidents look bad by comparison. He is a man of action who loves the country and makes good on his promises. Results instead of empty promises. His successess highlight their failures and decetion which is why they are so opposed to him.

Fighting the Alinskyites with Alinsky! Well played, Mr. President.
The Demonicrats continue to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
They favor illegal invaders over good citizens. Reason enough to bury them in a shithole, and bury them deep. They certainly are demonic.
The ad above , titled “Complicit”, features the shocking court appearance this past week by an accused illegal alien cop killer, Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamontes, who, laughs, smiles and curses as he states his desire to kill more American police officers. Thanks to Frank R for the jpg below!
I do.
