@EricLDaugh @grok Why is paying the troops considered a clever move in this shutdown?

@EricLDaugh You could have reopened it at any time you could have passed the stuff at any time you didn't need the Democrats.

@EricLDaugh Republicans in charge of House and Senate. It's a republican shut down. You can't fool America brother

@EricLDaugh I love it. Don't fuck with Trump, he speaks for the majority of the country that voted for him!

@EricLDaugh Schumer wanted a shutdown to make Trump look heartless. Instead, Trump found the loopholes, paid the troops, fed the families, and left the Democrats holding the bag. 🤣 That’s what happens when strategy meets strength. 💥🇺🇸

@EricLDaugh Um no. Thank goodness Trump stopped using our troops as political pawns. Trump is a sick sick boy.

@EricLDaugh Cut s as lil the brainless Democrats out! Fire them all!

@EricLDaugh Democrats scream "panic" while their shutdown backfires. The President is prioritizing troops and critical programs—exactly what taxpayers demand. Meanwhile, thousands of non-essential bureaucrats get the axe, proving D.C.'s bloat was always unsustainable. Schumer’s “landmine”

@EricLDaugh So he should have no problem not caving right?

@EricLDaugh Slash and burn and gut every single redundant and unnecessary program and federal worker. Streamline this bitch.

@EricLDaugh Awesome! I love it when GOAT Trump out plays them and reveals them for the fools that they are!

@EricLDaugh Now that Chuckles & the Demwits are panicking, the @HouseGOP should modify their CR bill. Cut out the excess spending in that CR bill. (Which was based on Biden's budget.) Cut that wasteful spending, change the ground rules, and let Chuckles "negotiate" from THAT basis.

@EricLDaugh This is what we voted for

@EricLDaugh The democrats are known for devious, but not smart.

@EricLDaugh @grok how is Trump paying the troops ?

@EricLDaugh There's no way for him to win. He walked straight into Trumps trap. AOC is the new Democrat leader.

@EricLDaugh I think it’s time we go back to a federal government that mainly protects us and we get rid of all the agencies that have done nothing but make things worse.

@EricLDaugh If Trump and company can keep the right people paid and keep cutting the people we don't need it's a whole new day. And keep the government shutdown for as long as it is needed.

@EricLDaugh That is his job! ✌️

@EricLDaugh @EricLDaugh why do you use that picture of Trump every time? 🤦‍♀️ not a good look.

@EricLDaugh Use those politician that aren’t working salaries to pay troops.

@EricLDaugh He's 3 chess moves ahead of them! And...still has more in his pocket!

@EricLDaugh Touche’ perfect response to stop chucky the doll ,

@EricLDaugh Go, Chuck, go! Two months at least! The Briar Patch is lovely this time of year.

@EricLDaugh you mean minefield but more like a Box Canyon

@EricLDaugh Truth be told, these brinksmanship tactics always come back to bite the average Joe and Jane, regardless of who's holding the veto pen.

@EricLDaugh This time Trump team isn't playing. Theyre on it.

@EricLDaugh Womp womp

@EricLDaugh Now we can all say "It gets better for us," right, Chucky? The Schumer Shutdown™️ is already backfiring. Let's see what else will collapse before their Oct 18th Rallies.

@EricLDaugh @Butterfly7653 Finally, a President that’s clever and able to fight back, when Democrats throw a tantrum by shutting down government.

@EricLDaugh Schumer miscalculated big time! President Trump is always ten moves ahead. Now Democrats are going to lose a lot of “resisters” who work in government.

@EricLDaugh Trump is repurposing funds within the DOD to pay the troops! Brilliant move! I’d like to see the Dems fight that one!

@EricLDaugh He should use the Dems own paychecks to start.

@EricLDaugh Every time Democrats try to trap him, Trump turns it into a victory lap.

@EricLDaugh Way to make a fool of yourself again, Chuck Schumer. 😂

@EricLDaugh Our potus rocks!
