Government is shut down because Trump wants more money for his private army.

But, they don't really need any money... The Congress already appropriated them more money than they know how to spend. They have oodles of money. That is not why the government is shut down.

Trump is experimenting with his new private army. He has sent them into our airports to assist with security, because TSA is not being paid, because the government is shut down, because Trump has lied and deceived the Congress and the American people.

There is a larger plan in the works. They are going to steal the next election. The polls show that Republicans are paying a heavy price for doing the bidding of Trump. And they are quite content if they can pass a voter suppression act to "save" them in the next election. That is the only Save America act that is at play.
