    On Monday, President Donald Trump suggested to The Daily Caller that he would not force a government shutdown at the end of the month to secure more money for a promised wall along the US-Mexico border.

    "I don't like the idea of shutdowns," Trump said.

    On Tuesday, Trump completely reversed course in a meeting with GOP lawmakers.

    "If it happens it happens," Trump said. "If it's about border security, I'm willing to do anything."

    Trump has previously threatened to shut down the government, saying the US "needs a good 'shutdown.'"

 President Donald Trump completed a reversal on the subject of a month-end government shutdown in less than 24 hours.

In an interview with The Daily Caller on Tuesday, Trump dismissed the idea of shutting down the government to extract more funding for the promised wall along the US-Mexico border.

"Well, I want to keep, I don't like the idea of shutdowns," Trump said.

"Border security is a very important issue," the president said. "I don't see even myself or anybody else closing down the country right now."

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
Maybe Trump just got stuck on some Chuck Berry lyrics

Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't
Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't
Sometimes I do, then again I think I don't

I dunno, 'I don't like the idea of showdowns but I'll do it if I have to' might look like a reversal to some.

Nope, this is just typical Trump: being on every side of every issue - pumping the one that will cause the most Chaos and result in everyone talking about him.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I thought it was because Trump is senile and can't remember what he said last week.  He is so masterful. 888heartkitty

You might want to let this guy know.

"Is Hillary a happy person? Do you think she's happy?" he said. "When she goes home at night, does she say, 'What a great life?' I don't think so. You never know. I hope she's happy."
