President Trump issued an all-caps New Year’s greeting to his Twitter followers on Tuesday – including “the haters and the fake news media” – calling for everyone to “just calm down and enjoy the ride.”
The commander-in-chief has been stuck in the White House after canceling his trip to Mar-a-Lago amid the partial government shutdown that began on Dec. 21 when Democrats refused his demand for $5 billion to pay for a border wall with Mexico.
Late Monday, he shared an 11-second video on Twitter, saying: “While I’m at the White House working, you’re out there partying tonight. But I don’t blame you. Enjoy yourselves. We’re going to have a great year. Have a really, really happy new year.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA! 2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY!

One thing has now been proven. The Democrats do not care about Open Borders and all of the crime and drugs that Open Borders bring!

“General” McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama. Last assignment a total bust. Known for big, dumb mouth. Hillary lover! https://t.co/RzOkeHl3KV

The Democrats, much as I suspected, have allocated no money for a new Wall. So imaginative! The problem is, without a Wall there can be no real Border Security – and our Country must finally have a Strong and Secure Southern Border!

MEXICO IS PAYING FOR THE WALL through the many billions of dollars a year that the U.S.A. is saving through the new Trade Deal, the USMCA, that will replace the horrendous NAFTA Trade Deal, which has so badly hurt our Country. Mexico & Canada will also thrive – good for all!

….Senator Schumer, more than a year longer than any other Administration in history. These are people who have been approved by committees and all others, yet Schumer continues to hold them back from serving their Country! Very Unfair!
