Trump, who is the president’s daughter-in-law and campaign adviser, told the digital news network Bold TV earlier this week that the president is fighting for “what he knows is the right thing to do.” “It’s not fair to you, and we all get that, but this is so much bigger than any one person,” she said. “It is a little bit of pain but it’s going to be for the future of our country, and their children and their grandchildren and generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice right now. I know it’s hard. I know people have families, they have bills to pay, they have mortgages, they have rents that are due. But the president is trying every single day to come up with a good solution here and, the reality is, it’s been something that’s gone on for too long and been unaddressed — our immigration problem. “If we do nothing right now, it’s never going to get fixed. This is our one opportunity.” Lara Trump said the issue is that without the shutdown, the president has “no hand to play.” Then she told government workers who are unable to work to “please stay strong.” “We appreciate everything that you’re sacrificing,” Trump said on Bold TV. “We are behind you, and we’re going do everything we can. I know the president is doing everything he can to resolve this quickly.”
I think we've got a noose in your size, ma'am.
With all due respect Lara.....eat shit.
Oh fuck off, Lara, we all know the reality of it all. Spin it all you want, it still lands on 'Orange in Chief is holding them hostage for his stupid fucking wall'
It's not a fucking sacrifice if you don't choose to make it.
Let them eat cake
Also it doesn't benefit the future of the country.
Lara Trump said the issue is that without the shutdown, the president has “no hand to play.” Then she told government workers who are unable to work to “please stay strong.” The Art of the Deal, folks. Please let yourselves be abused because without the shutdown abusing you my father has no leverage and no plan. Easy for this rich cunt born with a silver checkbook in her mouth to say. Sorry, Lara, but get fucked down a coal mineshaft.
People still unironically think that Trump was the best Republican candidate to represent blue collar interests.

Francois, get the guillotine.
Literally stating they're sacrificing them for the stupid fucking wall.
We ain't cattle you Yuppie Fucks.
That's rich coming from someone whose family name might as well be the definition of "has never made a sacrifice big or small for someone else ever in their entire life."
Hey, man, trying to dodge STDs was basically like dying in the mud in Vietnam.
but this is so much bigger than any one person This is an appropriate statement... when you've volunteered for a job that has a deep, symbolic capacity where you were elevated to a position bigger than yourself and any other person that could ever imagine holding the position, where the execution of the fundamentals of and inherent survival of Democracy is reliant on. This is what you say about an impressive position, and dare I say the Presidency should technically be the gold standard for this. Your father-in-law's efforts to be as big an asshole as possible isn't your justification for this being the case. I'm willing to go back 8 or 9 Presidencies and say that they have never presented such a problem as this. They don't hold the record for a government shut down and more importantly, haven't shown potential signs that they sold their country to make a buck or to save their own ass. Lara Trump, direct your eyes into the crowd of unpaid workers. They have a job to do and in return they get paid. While some organizations have been helping make accomodations for them, it doesn't justify tossing shit into their eyes and saying everything is right with the world.
“If we do nothing right now, it’s never going to get fixed. This is our one opportunity.” Uh-huh, yeah, sure, ok. I definitely believe you. This is the dumbest part of the whole shutdown, they need to somehow convince people that the wall is a time critical issue that can't wait for normal governmental processes. As if the second Trump waves his pen, the wall will spring up from the ground and stave off the invading caravan horde. That if we miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance, tomorrow America will be swept away by a wave of murderous foreigners.
I doubt it's even for the wall, he'll probably just send the money to some contractor (that by miraculous coincidence is owned by a close friend of his) before delaying for two years and then gaslighting forever, pretending democrats stole it.
So wait... The president wants a thing. Everyone's against it very likely for good reason. Why would you keep on making a tantrum over it?
Nah, guillotine's are for the bourgeoisie. String 'em up from a tall tree like poor folks, to add to the humiliation.
Because:
As spoken by someone who's never had to struggle in their entire life. Get fucked.
I see. The emperor needs human sacrifices to ensure that the construction of his monument will be a success
they're not young, and they're *definitely* not successful
I could see it if it were a literal invasion by another country's military Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it isn't Go fuck yourself. You're sacrificing other people to get your way. They aren't sacrificing shit for you. And now even the fucking Secret Service is turning on Trump
Less talking, more doing -Signed historical Europe HON HON
If it impedes on your country's growth, then someone should stop it.
“It is a little bit of pain but it’s going to be for the future of our country, and their children and their grandchildren and generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice right now. Not really, they're all being dicked over for a big fence that wont do shit. Nobody will care unless like a giant wave of zombies come from Mexico, but we all know the zombie hordes will migrate to warmer climates from Canada, so gg your economy is buckling over nothing.
Nah see you don't understand. The president wants the wall. And the president gets what the president wants. No exceptions. That's how government works! [sp]/s[/sp]
Why don't the Trumps sacrifice a little and pay for the wall out of pocket? He's a billionaire after all.
