Meiselas: Ask yourself a basic question: Why did Donald Trump not allow the press to be there in the White House to record the meeting with the Democratic leaders, when the Democratic leaders wanted the press there? Ask yourself another question: why, if Donald Trump claims he brought in... $17 trillion, are we even facing a crisis at all about the government shutdown? Because if he brought in $17 trillion, there’s just so much money to go around that there’s no need to have these types of funding discussions. You know, I think you know the answer—because there was a $2 trillion deficit in the past fiscal year, and there’s a major deficit each and every month. And then finally, ask yourself this question: why did MAGA Mike Johnson and the Republicans cancel work on Monday and Tuesday, the two critical days before the shutdown? I think if you ask yourself those questions, you come to a logical conclusion: Donald Trump wants a shutdown. Then you can ask yourself, why does he want a shutdown? And I think he wants a shutdown because he wants to blame Democrats for the mess that he created. He wants to utilize a shutdown to behave even more as an authoritarian. He wants to get rid of Bureau of Labor Statistics data reporting, which he can use the shutdown as pretext for. He wants to cover up the release of the Epstein files. Those are among the handful of reasons that I think he wants a shutdown.show more
