The ‘voters’ asked him to run our government just like he runs his businesses. Why the surprise folks? - Well, 6 bankruptcies and total economic collapse, coming up!

realDonaldTrump SUCKS!! HeDoesntCare 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

People said they wanted the government run like one of Trump’s businesses so why is anyone surprised that contractors are getting stiffed?

Gosh. It's almost like people and companies rely on the government to function to make money. Who would've thought?

This is so reckless.

But surely none of the companies affected belong to 45 or his buddies. They're probably making money off the TrumpShutdown

Really hoping you are working on a story on the full economic impact of the shutdown, the 3rd, 4th,5th tier companies that indirectly depend on a functioning government because they supply someone up the food chain.

The federal gov't gets screwed too, once suppliers no longer fill their gov't orders. Can you imagine if the Treasury stops printing money after running out of paper & ink?

Yep, and I work for one of them. We have started feeling the impact this week.

realDonaldTrump senatemajldr end the shutdown already.

So would you like to rethink your Pinocchio Rating for Schumer saying it would effect millions or just nahhh?

Shutdown government to silence Mueller investigation? to trump, everyone's expendable as long as he keeps lining his pockets.

They know it's a CONTRACT, right? No guarantees. Oh wait, are these the same CONTRACTORS that charge $150 for hammer?

Call your dem representative, give trump his wall. Bigger fight to come for 2020 budget. This budget fight will close down government longer. Washington is now dysfunctional, cannot pass any budget all can agree on. It is now a national emergency.

WaPo Confirms! Pelosi is destroying big government. Haggling over a few miles of wall is ruining decades of work expanding D.C.'s reach. Years of sitting around as minority leader has eroded her skills When will someone step up and take the reins?

There's also the alcohol industry. They can't produce their products because the feds aren't there to regulate. Which is a ridiculous example of how the federal government is too big and influencial on private businesses.

Should we address the elephant in the room? The fact that your name in paper is being advertised all over the country with fake news?

So basically this government shutdown is helping absolutely no one but is hurting: -Hundreds of thousands of employed and unemployed American citizens -the economy overall -the environment -food regulations -weddings -etc.

Actual loss will be higher. Weekly contracts with defense contractors even higher. Anticipate massive layoffs by day 60. Massive foreclosures across nation by day 90. Homeless workers stop working. Without a home no one can go to work. Everyone has rent or mortgage. Need food.

Is that what it cost during Clinton's 27 day shutdown?...we will be fine.... Build the damn wall

Both parties better start negotiating!!

TRUMP the stable Russian genius.

Maybe WaPo should call their buddies Chucky and Nancy and tell them they want the govt reopened. Hmm?

Yup, we are now part of Trump’s bankruptcy

And Trump's base believes that it's the Dems fault. No, it is Trump's narcissism that won't allow him to reopen and negotiate. Dictator behavior alert.

If they voted for realDonaldTrump, I hope they go out of business.... Trumpocalypse FactsMatter Gaslighting TrumpShutdown PresidentMoron MAGA

They should be telling Schumer and Pelosi to fund the wall.

Federal Workers $4 billion unpaid per month. Contractors loosing $800 million 0er week. By my estimate foreclosures begin.

The Senate majority leader and the President are willing to crash the economy and a few planes all for a wall.

Mistake - not 'putting $200 million', but 'Putin $200 million'.

Really, getting worse

That Amount will be paid by Maga..had a lot of money
