DON LEMON REFUTES TRUMP'S WALL CLAIMS | CNN | 01/04 | 10:58
>POTUS thinks everything is going great after another closed door meeting with Congressional leaders
>>800k workers still without pay as final hours close on 14th day of shutdown with no end in sight.
<POTUS: "Had a productive meeting today with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer, thought it went well. On same path in terms of wanting to get government re-open."
>Two "anonymous" sources in the meeting said POTUS went on a 15+ minute rant when he entered the room, WSJ reports it was profanity laced and that POTUS said he won't accept anything less than $5.6B, non-negotiable, for the wall and he's prepared to keep government closed indefinitely.
<POTUS: "I absolutely did say it and am prepared for it to go on for years. I think I can speak for House and Senate Republicans
>Two "sources" say that the meeting was long and unproductive because POTUS threw tantrums and went on long-winded rants, boasting he was proud of himself.
<POTUS: "I'm very proud of doing what I'm doing. I don't call it a shutdown. I call it doing what you have to do for the benefit and safety of the country. Call it what you want, just words.
>Not the "words" he said a few weeks ago, "I will take the mantle on this shutdown" - POTUS
>POTUS claims previous presidents told him a wall should have been built but CNN doesn't know whom he's referring to.
>POTUS threatening to declare a National Emergency to build the wall because of bogus claims of security threats.
>CNN's mantra is "Facts Matter" and the FACT is, there is no security threat at the border… simply another way for POTUS to circumvent Congress to get his precious wall
<Clips of POTUS campaigning about the wall/fence/barrier
>57% opposed to the wall according to CNN polling
>Rashida Talib claims POTUS has met his match
>Mueller Grand Jury extended
>Ex-Marine imprisoned in Russia, no word from POTUS
My god Don Lemon is fucking terrible! I am beginning to think he's not human and is some rudimentary robot/AI instead, he's so awkward in his motions and his manner of speech is just… ugh!
