President Donald Trump recently took to social media to share that lawmaker talks are “looking very good,” ahead of the pending government shutdown deadline. Currently, Washington D.C. is set to see a shutdown take place at the end of the week, per CNN. That is, unless lawmakers can come to terms on a new stimulus bill, as well as terms for keeping the government open and funded.
There is a chance that the shutdown could be extended, separate from a vote on the new $900 billion coronavirus relief bill, but there is a chance the two issues could be merged together into one $1.4 trillion funding bill that would keep things running through September 2021. In a tweet, seemingly hoping to quell the worries of Americans, Trump indicated that the shutdown may be avoided. “All-time Stock Market high. The Vaccine and the Vaccine rollout are getting the best of reviews,” he wrote. “Moving along really well. Get those ‘shots’ everyone! Also, stimulus talks looking very good.” Scroll down to see what Twitter users are saying in reply to the outgoing Commander-in-Chief’s post.

Remember Trump- all stock market highs are due to the new admin after Election Day, you said so yourself in 2016….canโt have it both ways, if what you said was true in 2016, be A REAL MAN & congratulate Biden/Harris. Too bad youโre too petty.

None of which you had anything to do with.

2. For over 300,000 Americans the vaccine is too late.
3. The stimulus will protect businesses that knowingly endangered their employees lives.
Good morning.
But wait you said the stock market was going to crash if Biden was elected… ๐ค๐คฅ

Thanks @JoeBiden for the stock market high!! It’s no coincidence that the all-time high coincides with your epic election victory!

And thanks to Pfizer for the vaccine!! You’re probably the first to roll out a vaccine precisely because Trump had no involvement in your efforts.

A vote for Loeffler or Perdue gives McConnell the power to continue laughing…
