That’s a bit over the top. Any shutdown does NOT shut down the military or federal policing forces. Essential employees of the government continue to work. Furthermore, any federal employees who do not receive pay owed during a shutdown will receive that pay after the shutdown is resolved. It is delay of pay, at worst.
Trump is proving daily that the government is bloated with non-essential bureaucrats, 90% of whom supported Clinton last election. Not paying them for a few weeks would be a good thing, in my mind. Not paying them ever again would be better.
Let the Rats shut it down over the “rights” of illegal aliens. That’ll be another anti-American stain on them. Other than the temporary financial strain put on our brave military people, I could care less.
Trump, I believe, is not made of the mush that comprises most of WDC, therefore I am hopeful he hangs the Rats with any shutdown, & refuses to give in to the socialists.
