A part of me, in theory, thinks this is the right thing to do. Enough is enough already. But at the same time, even so, I don't think he can do this. The government must keep running, even with the idiots doing their thing. Maybe not him having a meeting with Pelosi and Schumer, and then tossing them basically, as he did today - but beyond that, things must go on.

Continue with things and make things abundantly clear at the same time.
