Trump whines about 'brutal slog' of governing as he cancels shutdown meeting with Dems

President Donald Trump canceled a meeting with top Democrats, stating that he did not want to deal with the "long and brutal slog" of governing.

In a wild and rambling rant on Tuesday, the president said demands for funding health care were "unserious and ridiculous."

"I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive," he wrote on Truth Social.

"They are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States unless they can have over $1 Trillion Dollars in new spending to continue free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!), force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors, have dead people on the Medicaid roles, allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits, try to force our Country to again open our Borders to Criminals and to the World, allow men to play in women's sports, and essentially create Transgender operations for everybody," president ranted.

Trump cited his "HISTORIC LANDSLIDE" and said there were "consequences to losing Elections."

"The Democrats in Congress seem to have totally lost their way," he argued. "All Congressional Democrats want to do is enact Radical Left Policies that nobody voted for — High Taxes, Open Borders, No Consequences for Violent Criminals, Men in Women's Sports, Taxpayer funded 'TRANSGENDER' surgery, and much more."

"Few people voted for what they represent, which would lead to the destruction of America," Trump continued. "We must keep the Government open, and legislate like true Patriots rather than hold American Citizens hostage, knowing that they want our now thriving Country closed."

"They must do their job! Otherwise, it will just be another long and brutal slog through their radicalized quicksand. To the Leaders of the Democrat Party, the ball is in your court."
