During an hour-plus pool spray with reporters before a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Trump lamented his lonely Christmas when asked how long the government would remain shut down.
“Could be a long time, it could be quickly. Could be a long time,” he said. “It’s too important a subject to walk away from. I was here on Christmas evening. I was all by myself in the White House. That’s a big, big house, except for the all guys on the lawn with machine guns. Nicest machine guns I’ve ever seen, I was waving to them. I’ve never seen so many guys with machine guns in my life. Secret service and military, these are great people and they don’t play games — they don’t like wave, they don’t even smile. But I was there all alone with the machine gunners and I felt very safe. … I was hoping that maybe somebody would come back and negotiate, but they didn’t do that.

See what happens when your kids don’t like you?
He’s doesn’t realize how lucky he was that the “machine gunners” were not issued ammo…
You don’t smile at the guy who deployed you to Cactusfuck Texas over thanksgiving for a pollitical stunt.

Once again Trump whines about his own self inflicted wounds.
