Donald Trump is continuing his victory lap for the end to the government shutdown—and boy, is this a Trump-style victory lap. Being sidelined after repeated screw-ups, spending a weekend watching television and tweeting, and feeling like he got a win out of it? Ohhhhh, yes. Here he comes a-tweeting.
Psst, Donald … pretty sure that not just congressional Republicans but your own staff won’t want you at the negotiating table. There’s a reason you spent the weekend in front of the television rather than in meetings with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
There’s another reason this is a Trump-style victory lap: voters blamed Republicans for the shutdown and DACA became more popular as a result. So he’s taking credit for something he didn’t do because he’s too inept and lazy, and the thing he’s taking credit for wasn’t all that good for him to begin with. Typical.
