Would Trump shut down the government if he thought it would slow down impeachment?

Of course he would!

Senator Schumer has stated his concerns about that possibility. Republicans are expected to go along with Traitor Trump.

Who is responsible if the government shuts down?

deeper bankruptcy?

Without hesitation and if you asked him about this when nobody was looking he would look back at you like you were crazy that of course he and anyone would.

He is a psychopath and we best figure that out and now.

IMO, the Republicans in Congress who are too weak to stand up to him would bear some of the blame.

and who knows he might, but it will backfire on him, and republicans up for election next year.

While his braindead base may love the idea, the vast majority of the country won't. They will see it for what it really is, more obstruction from trump to stop the impeachment process.

The good thing about trump is he is his own worst enemy.

Screw the government vendors, screw government workers, screw the elderly, screw national parks all to help protect him because after closing the government until 1/1/21 then he will file suit that it's too close to the election & SCOTUS traitors will back him up.

but for sure ugliness is in the future.

Blame the GOP if government goes down and blame the GOP in general for their lack of responsibility and patriotism in electing and enabling a monster.
