Trump: US "Needs A Good Shutdown In September To Fix This Mess"
With Congress poised this week to approve a deal to fund the government through September,
the first major bipartisan legislation of Trump's presidency, after lengthy negotiations
(which have appeared to signal numerous 'folds' by President Trump), apparently frustrated
by the lack of tryannical powers that a simple majority grants him, President Trump has lashed
out this morning at disagreeable Democrats, and in particular Senate Democrats.
As a reminder, the proposed government funding deal does not include funding for Trump�s
proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border or include language stripping federal money
from so-called sanctuary cities, both of which the White House demanded at the outset of
negotiations.
In fact, as we reported yesterday, the bill has been seen widely as a victory for Democrats,
something which has been panned by the conservative press.
While the White House also backed off a threat to withhold ObamaCare subsidy payments to
insurance companies, Trump did secure increased military spending in the 2017 budget deal.
According to the Hill, the comments are likely irk top Republican lawmakers, who have been
frustrated by Trump�s repeated attempts to intervene in the legislative process.
The businessman-turned-president, in turn, has vented frustration with the slow pace
of work on Capitol Hill.
�I�m disappointed that it doesn�t go quicker,� Trump told Fox News last week
when asked about the Republican effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Commenting on Trump's tweets, Citi asks rhetorically whether "this could be a case of cutting one�s
nose to spit one�s face?
� Potentially problematic when the nose in question is attached to the current administration�
It seems counterintuitive that a sitting president would want a shutdown, unless he was to blame
it on the opposition in order to force through reform/encourage a voter backlash."
Bloomberg reports that �The message appeared to encourage the Republican-controlled Senate
to change rules that now require 60 votes to end a filibuster of legislation.
Republicans reduced the threshold to 51 votes for Supreme Court nominees this year and could
do the same for legislation with a simple majority vote.�
USD does not seem to have reacted to the President�s tweet (it can�t every time, after all),
which may just be more political manoeuvring rather than a signal of intent.
In any case, we're not so sure there is such a thing as a "good" shutdown of the US government
- and with what will be over $20 trillion in debt and a declining GDP by that time,
one wonders which ratings agency will have the balls to downgrade the world's reserve
currency this time?
Meanwhile, it did not take long for Trump to get a response.

Eric Swalwell responded that �our country needs a White House shutdown� following
President Trump�s call for a �good shutdown� of the government.
