President Trump Blindsides Democrats – Threatens To Shut Down Congress So He Can Pass His Nominees

President Trump is tired of the games Congress has been playing during this crisis. Americans are suffering as liberals in D.C. fool around.

Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have been holding up funding for small businesses—in a bid to get what they want. Imagine putting politics ahead of the wellbeing of millions of Americans?

It looks like Democrats could be keeping Congress open to block Trump’s agenda. And he’s had enough.

From Fox News:

President Trump announced during a White House address Wednesday that he is considering adjourning Congress and using its absence to make political appointments…

Trump added that he has the constitutional authority to dismiss both chambers and accused Congress of failing the American people and shirking their responsibilities as elected leaders.

President Trump called out Congress for delaying needed action. He threatened to adjourn Congress so he could go ahead and make needed appointments to his staff.

While Congress keeps running pro forma, from a distance, they are not allowing the President to make appointments in their absence. And they sure won’t be voting for his appointments while things are open.

Since President Trump entered office, Democrats have worked overtime to block his America First agenda.

Even during this crisis, they refuse to put their bias aside for the good of the country.

What have we seen from the government since this pandemic started? Well, from the White House we’ve seen a task force led by Trump and Pence working around the clock.

They’ve done all they can to battle this crisis, both medically and economically.

Democrats in D.C.? Oh, they’ve been playing games, delaying needed legislation. They even refused to keep the small business loans going.

Some may argue that Trump doesn’t have the authority to shut down Congress. But Democrats have been blocking the administration for years.

Hopefully, they’ll wake up and do the right thing, before the president goes to extremes.

SHARE if you stand with Trump, not Democrats in Congress.

History Made, President Trump First President To Step Foot In North Korea

U.S. President Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea on Sunday when he met its leader, Kim Jong Un, in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas and agreed to resume stalled nuclear talks.

The meeting, initiated a spur-of-the-moment tweet by Trump that Kim said took him by surprise, once again displayed the rapport between the two. But they are no closer to narrowing the gap between their positions since they walked away from their summit in February in Vietnam.

The two men shook hands warmly and expressed hopes for peace when they met for the third time in just over a year on the old Cold War frontier that for decades has symbolized the hostility between their countries, which are technically still at war.

Trump, escorted by Kim, briefly crossed a military demarcation line into the North side of the Joint Security Area (JSA), patrolled by soldiers from both Koreas.

Moments later, they returned to the southern side and joined South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in for a brief chat, marking an unprecedented three-way gathering.

Trump and Kim then held a closed-door meeting for nearly an hour.

“We just had a very, very good meeting,” Trump said after the talks. “We’ll see what can happen.”He said both sides would set up teams to push forward stalled talks aimed at getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons, adding “speed is not the thing.”

Pope Francis, making his weekly address in St. Peter’s Square, praised the meeting. “I salute the protagonists, with a prayer that such a significant gesture will be a further step on the road to peace, not only on that peninsula, but for the good of the entire world,” he said.Trump and Kim met for the first time in Singapore in June last year, and agreed to improve relations and work towards the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

But the second summit in Hanoi broke down after the two sides failed to narrow differences between a U.S. demand for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons and a North Korean demand for sanctions relief.

‘PLENTY OF TIME’Kim looked relaxed and smiled as he chatted with Trump amidst a throng of press photographers, aides and bodyguards.

Trump said the two leaders “moved mountains” to arrange the last-minute meeting.

“I was surprised to see you expressed an intent to meet,” Kim told Trump, referring to Trump’s offer for a meeting in a tweet on Saturday. Trump came to South Korea after attending a Group of 20 summit in Osaka, Japan.

“This is an expression of his willingness to leave behind the past and work towards a new future,” Kim said.

Kim said it would be a great honor if Trump visited his capital of Pyongyang. The two agreed to visit each other’s country “at the right time,” Trump said.

“To cross that line was a great honor,” Trump said, referring to his brief incursion into the North Korean side of the DMZ. “It’s a great day for the world.”

But there has been little sign that North Korea and the United States are any closer to narrowing differences on the nuclear issue.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters shortly before departing South Korea that a fresh round of talks will likely happen “sometime in July” and the North’s negotiators would be foreign ministry diplomats.

“Today’s meeting was significant in salvaging faltering working-level talks,” said Shin Beom-chul, a senior fellow at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul.

“But the North wouldn’t easily change its stance, even though Trump has effectively responded to the so-called top-down approach cherished by Kim.”

Trump said he had “plenty of time” and was in “no rush” to reach a deal.

“We want to get it right,” he said.

North Korea has pursued nuclear and missile programs for years in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions, and easing tensions with North Korea is one of the U.S. president’s top foreign policy priorities.

The DMZ was set up after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice, not a truce, leaving North Korea and a U.S.-led U.N. forces still technically at war.
