and at the epicentre of every storm, donald j trump. you the one description that everyone gave, everyone has in common — they all say he is like a child. and what they mean by that is he has a need for immediate gratification. it's all about him. and the gravest charge of all — wolff alleges that a number of his unnamed sources told him that the president was mentally unfit to remain in office, a charge that brought this response from the president's spokeswoman. it's disgraceful and laughable. if he was unfit, he probably wouldn't be sitting there and wouldn't have defeated the most qualified group of candidates that the republican party has ever seen. the president has been on twitter to rubbish the book saying: but that's not how michael wolff remembers it. i absolutely spoke to the president, whether he realised it was an interview or not, i don't know, but it certainly was not off the record. the author says he stands by every word. although with anonymous sources, it's hard to fact—check. the most remarkable thing about this is —

donald j. trump. now, mr. president, i do not know why donald trump may be pushing for a government shutdown. maybe he thinks it's, it will work well for him or work well for the republican party politically. i have no idea. but i do know that the idea of a government shutdown is a very bad idea. maybe republicans will gain from it. maybe democrats will politically gain from it. i have not a clue. but what i do know is that the american people will lose on a government shutdown, and in a bipartisan manner we must do everything we can to prevent that shutdown. a shutdown would harm tens of millions of americans who will be unable to access vital government services. it would disrupt the lives of hundreds of thousands or more federal employees who depend upon a check to provide for their families. and in fact it would endanger members of the united states military who are putting their lives on the line to defend our country. the united states congress has a responsibility to the american people to prevent a gove
