The other day Trump says he may keep the government shut down for months, even years. He says further that he might just have the military build his wall by declaring it a national emergency. I presume he believes he doesn't need Congressional authorization to re-arrange DOD spending, but since he doesn't understand the rules of government, I guess that's no surprise.

When the gov't. shutdown means Trump's political base doesn't get their SS checks, Medicare bills paid, and their various other gov't. subsidies, the base may re-think their support of Trump. Question is, will Trump continue to sh!t on his base of deplorables?
