YES! When Dems can't repair what's IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR IN JUST 4 YR, like th aftermath of the pandemic economy incl th worldwide supply chain backlog, GOP will lie that all th positive Dem work toward recovery is a "failure". Short term memories will vote for GOP creators of th disaster again.🤬gop

There are videos from 2011, 2013, and 2016 of Trump blaming presidents for shutdowns.
www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

'I actually think the president would be blamed.' Trump's 2011 shutdown comments resurface

President Donald Trump previously said a shutdown is the responsibility of the president when Barack Obama was in the White House in 2011 and 2013.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
