Lol no, it will always be someone else' fault. But I think he's assuming the democrats see the writing on the wall, and allowing (another) shutdown to happen under trump's watch is their least bad option. I expect he'll make full use of the crisis, nothing would surprise me at this point...
Yup. Let's remind Republican voters, again, how important Federal agencies are. This is like me telling my son he doesn't get dinner because the kitchen didn't cook my steak exactly how I like it.
I think this would all but guarantee Democrats supporting gov't funding to avoid shutdown. Even if doing the opposite might be the better move long-term.

Seems Trump wants to own this shutdown rather than blaming it on Democrats.

No, he'll blame the firings on the Democrats too.

That's true. But it's his firings that will be in the headlines.

Let’s fire all the air traffic controllers too. Reagan was definitely onto something

I mean, compared to other things we may see faster CEO "turnover" that way.
