BREAKING: President Trump just made an announcement TERRIFYING Democrats - they screwed up by shutting down the government...
"We'll be making PERMANENT cuts to DEMOCRAT PROGRAMS. ONLY Democrat programs. Russ [Vought]...we'll be cutting some very popular Democrat programs, that aren't popular with Republicans!"
"That's the way it works! They WANTED to do this. So we'll give 'em a little taste of their own medicine."
Russ Vought is being unleashed. Chuck messed up.
