The US government shutdown came into force due to a dead end between lawmakers to federal expenses. The quotation has become a viral claim that Donald Trump had previously described the government shutdown as a symptom of the President’s lack of leadership.
“The shutdown falls on the lack of the President’s leadership. I mean the peak and must be resolved from above.
Shortly after the Wednesday shutdown came into force, Trump took the Social truth to Democrats and accused the party’s legislators of “forced” closure.
“Republicans must take advantage of this opportunity for the forced closure of the democrats to clean up dead wood, waste and fraud. Billions dollars can be saved. Again great America!” Published by the US President.
When Trump turned against his political opponents, Netizens returned to the words of a business politician more than ten years ago, a lot to the anger of the Republican Party supporters who accused liberals of making things.
“Such patients that the liberals do ** t, that it obviously does not use it seriously,” wrote one user, while others jumped to defend the 79 -year -old and evoked the war between two political camps online.
So Trump said it?
It turned out to be. While the quotation that makes bicycles on social media is not literally from what Trump said at that time, it is an accurate paraphrase of his words.
During the sixteen -day stop of the US government in 2013 under the administration Barack Obama, triggered by a distance over Obamacare, Trump trained his weapons on a democratic president.
In an interview with Fox & Friends in September 2013, Trump attacked Obama and said, “If you say who is released, it must always be a peak. Problems start from above and have to be resolved from the top and the president is the leader and must get all in the room and have to lead.
The current president also added: “… When he speaks of shutdown, they will talk about the President of the United States at that time. They will not talk about who was the head of the house, the head of the Senate who runs things in Washington. So I think the pressure is on the president.”
Trump then continued in similar comments in October 7, 2013 interview With the host of the then Fox news Greta van Susteren and said, “You have to get all of them into the room. You have to be a leader.
Interestingly, the above two cases are not the only moment that Trump suggested that the responsibility for shutdown lies on the president.
Previously, Trump appeared on NBC “The Today Show” during potential shutdown in 2011 saying“If it is shut down, I think it would be an extremely negative sign of the President of the United States.”
