“Just a couple of weeks of this shatdaun and economic consequences will exceed the amount that Trump requested for the construction of the wall. By itself, the situation is similar to the story of two sheep. Although the president has already softened the rhetoric and would have reached the modernization of the border lines. Democrats also had to meet. But after Trump's actions, he was told no. Now comes the question of the prestige of the president. The problem is getting stupid, ”said the expert.
According to him, "Democrats believe that the shatdaun, first of all, weakens the current president."
“The suspension of the work of the federal government came at a very unfortunate time when people pay taxes, pay for the education of children, and so on. That is, it all happens during this period and it is wrong to leave people without money now. But all the blame on Trump will not succeed. He did not agree to a temporary restoration of the government’s work, because he considered that this would cause him an irreparable blow, the Democrats would understand that he could continue to live on, ”Sinelnikov-Orishak concluded.
Earlier, Trump rejected a proposal for temporary government funding, which was suspended due to disagreements by the White House and Congress on the allocation of funds for the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico.
