Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) said that while President Donald Trump is “hopeful” that the bipartisan committee can reach a funding deal before February 15, he is “resolute” and fully ready to act alone should it fail.
According to a Monday Washington Post report, the two had a private lunch Sunday where Trump aired his feelings.
Any hope for broader immigration reform legislation seems largely dashed at this junction. “He wants as simple of a solution as we can get,” Perdue told the Post, adding that it’s not “realistic” to hope for more complicated fixes in a three week window.
The White House has not ruled out another shutdown when the weeks are up, and Trump is openly mulling declaring a national emergency to help get his border wall with or without Congress.
Like anyone gives a SHIT what David Perdue thinks… he is a tRump toadie
Perdue made his fortune downsizing businesses. Mr. Pink Slip. Trump made his fortune not paying people. Match made in excrement.
“911, what is your emergency?”
“I don’t have one now, but maybe I will have one in a few weeks. Do you take appointments?”
Resolute or Obsessed?
If Donald had just kept ignoring the wall none of his followers would have jumped ship. Now he made it into an issue that’s going to fuck him over if he doesn’t get it and I don’t think he will. Ds are never going to back down, and Rs will eventually come over to keep Donald from really ruining things for them with another shutdown.
