        Yeah... kinda sounds like he needs a win. I’ll give him that one. He “averted” a shutdown that he alone was threatening... Okay, maybe I won’t.pic.twitter.com/EsDk5ZLR8p

        The government shutdown he incompetently caused. Reminds me of the time superman tied lois lane to the railroad tracks and then heroically saved her. So heroic. Brings tears. Sniff sniff.

        Trump threatens shutting down gov't as a weapon against the Dems to get the wall, knowing full well they want to resist him so they actually do their job in time and pass a spending bill thus denying him that weapon meanwhile they disarmed themselves from using it against him.

        What kind of verb is "avert"? Shouldn't you say @POTUS won't shutdown the gov't and withdraw his threats??

        And while he’s doing that, I’ll hold the moon in orbit with my stomach muscles. He’ll do that singlehandedly? Shut it down NOW, before more damage is done.

        Duh! As I wrote weeks ago, Trump and the rest of the GOP are crazy, but they're not _that_ crazy = they'd never shut it down just before even more crucial than usual mid-terms. Not worth a "Breaking" headline.
