The shutdown isn't about the wall anymore. It's a dementing megalomaniac acting like a petty spoiled brat to get his way. His illusions of grandeur make him think that he's an omnipotent emperor, while in fact he's just being a revengefull dictator.

Don't expect the Trump worshipers to care about some butterflies. Or people.

Hey! Do not bereave people who do not like complicated realities of simply solutions with no apparent side-effects! It is just not fair that we should not assume that a complex socio-economic problem is not solvable by a few tons of concrete! And please stop with all these ramifications, who cares for negative impact on our own lives if we can get a symbol of freedom and strength! A wall! Well..., uhm..., oh, nevermind.
