Trump displays his profound understanding of how life is for people who are not rich.
Trump says he can relate to those affected by the government shutdown, telling reporters, "I'm sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustment. They always do." pic.twitter.com/ChRTFL4NDU

It’s totally fine to have your salary suddenly cut off, all you have to do is make an adjustment. It’s easy. Student loans? Rent? Mortgage payment? Childcare? Debt for that stay in the hospital? Food? Car payment? Relatives you help support? Don’t worry about any of that, all you have to do is adjust it. There’s a little dial somewhere, just give it a small twist and everything will be fine.

When I lost my sparse income in the mid-1990s, raising a child without child support, my only option was my car, which you still have the problem – where do you park it? How do you put gas in it?
I was one of the fortunate ones. I found a job at the nth hour and was able to shove the wolf back from the hallway of my house to the door (but no further for years). I am well aware of the fear that accompanies something like this; I grew up with it, and I lived it again in my adult years.
Trump is pond scum (sorry, that’s an insult to algae. I apologize to all members of the algal community).
When will the NYT send intrepid reporters to bumfuck Ohio to ask how the rubeniks feel now that their dear leader is telling their fellow working stiffs to eat cake?
Let them eat cake.
