Since he shut down the government and can’t golf, Trump is holding a rager on Twitter where his spinning out of control as his policies crumble.
Trump claimed that nearly all Democrats support his wall:
Virtually every Democrat we are dealing with today strongly supported a Border Wall or Fence. It was only when I made it an important part of my campaign, because people and drugs were pouring into our Country unchecked, that they turned against it. Desperately needed!

He continued to rant about former Defense Secretary Mattis:
To those few Senators who think I don’t like or appreciate being allied with other countries, they are wrong, I DO. What I don’t like, however, is when many of these same countries take advantage of their friendship with the United States, both in Military Protection and Trade…

….We are substantially subsidizing the Militaries of many VERY rich countries all over the world, while at the same time these countries take total advantage of the U.S., and our TAXPAYERS, on Trade. General Mattis did not see this as a problem. I DO, and it is being fixed!

Trump flat out lied about envoy in the fight against ISIS who quit:
For all of the sympathizers out there of Brett McGurk remember, he was the Obama appointee who was responsible for loading up airplanes with 1.8 Billion Dollars in CASH & sending it to Iran as part of the horrific Iran Nuclear Deal (now terminated) approved by Little Bob Corker.

And he closed, for the moment, with a tantrum:
AMERICA IS RESPECTED AGAIN!

Trump is melting down for Christmas
Forget about the lies in each of the tweets above. Those should be expected by now. Look at the tweets together as a reflection of Trump‘s behavior and mindset. Trump had nothing to say about the government shutdown. He’s not even trying to win that PR war. He offered no sympathy for the hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have no paychecks this holiday.
Trump didn’t offer a Christmas message.
He didn’t wish the American well.
Trump ranted and raved due to the bad press that he is getting from people leaving his administration over the awful decisions that he is making.
Donald Trump has trapped himself in the White House, and he is melting down for Christmas. His presidency is heading for dumpster of American history, and Trump is acting like a man who can’t halt his own decline.
