On Friday the government of the United States of America will shut down. Now, don’t panic; Trump, congress, the Supreme Court and others will continue to receive their bloated paychecks, but thousands of other government employees will be unemployed.

In 2013, this was the effort of one man; Ted Cruz. The junior senator from Texas was making an effort to gain national recognition for a presidential run in 2016. He is now known as the worst senator in congress, and has become a Trump toady.

Today it is your illegitimate president who is leading the shut down. Last Tuesday he agreed to a bipartisan agreement to both avoid the shut down and address DACA. Today he has reneged on every promise he made, on camera, to the American people.

Once again Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were planning a temporary solution to keep the government open. This has occurred many times previously because they are unable to govern effectively.

In an effort to attract Democrats, Ryan had agreed to include a six year extension of CHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which protects nine million low-income children by providing low cost or no cost healthcare.

Today Trump tweeted that he rejects including CHIP as a part of the short-term solution.

This orange man has no idea about what he is doing. His doctor lied. He obviously did not conduct any sort of ‘cognitive skills’ examination. Trump has no ability to make competent decisions, focus on the priorities of all Americans, or to understand the complexities of government. There is no doubt in my mind that he suffers from senile dementia, or is a paranoid schizophrenic.

By the way; 239 pounds! I call bullshit. He is not one pound under 260; the many pictures of his enormous derriere do not lie! I weigh 210 pounds, eat healthy food, work out frequently, and am just under six-feet tall. Trump is nearly twice my size.

Please spread the truth; thank you.
