The government is shuttered, and the president has nothing to do. "I am in the White House waiting for you!" he tweeted plaintively to Democrats on Saturday.
"I'm in the White House, waiting," the underemployed executive tweeted again on Sunday.
"I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats," he tweeted during the holidays.
Yes, poor him. He shut down the government, taking hostage 800,000 furloughed federal workers, but nobody is willing to pay him ransom. Now, the economy is hurting (S&P Global Ratings put the damage at $3.6 billion so far, nearly the amount Trump sought for his border wall), and most Americans correctly blame him (he is, after all, the one who boasted: "I'll be the one to shut it down").
