Not just lame but pathetic

This is remarkable: the President Tuesday owning a government shutdown over his border wall, bragging about winning Senate contests in two states that should never have been in doubt, and mansplaining her powers to the soon-to-be Speaker of the House. He did this intentionally in front of television cameras. 

He thinks a border wall he promised Mexico would pay for is more important than meeting the US Government’s sovereign financial obligations, that Senate victories in solid red states give him bragging rights, and male chauvinism is appealing to his misogynistic supporters. This is not just lame, it’s pathetic.
