Trump Is Having A Full Meltdown As He Will Be Blamed For Government Shutdown

Donald Trump is frantically throwing everything at the wall to distract from the fact that the government is about to shut down and it is his fault.

Donald Trump was confident that Democrats would cave and blink before the government shut down. The Trump administration has been issuing threats about how Democrats will be blamed and pay for a government shutdown.

Democrats are holding firm, so Trump is frantically trying to distract the country.

Pete Hegseth has called US generals from around the world to a meeting, and then it was leaked that the meeting is actually a pep rally for the Trump administration, to which the generals are being forced to attend.

With the clock ticking and a government shutdown looming, Trump ordered the release of documents on the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

That news from the White House got Trump mocked for releasing the Earhart files, but not the Epstein files.

Speaking of the Epstein files, some might think that Trump’s latest outburst is related to the Epstein files, but it is not. The latest batch of documents to be released came from Trump’s DOJ to Trump cover-up allies on the House Oversight Committee. Trump wanted the most recent information out there, especially the stuff about Elon Musk, so it is clear that what is attempting to distract from is the government shutdown.

Trump has so far spent his Saturday upping the distraction ante.

Trump first announced that he is sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon:

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

There is no war in Portland. There is no crisis in Portland.

In fact, Trump is basing his decision to deploy the National Guard to Portland based on something that he saw on TV:

Trump has learned that deploying the National Guard anywhere distracts cable news, so that is a win in his book, because anytime the media is talking about what Trump is doing instead of how his administration is failing, that is a moment of political survival.

However, Trump was just getting his distraction machine warmed up.
