0:00.0	Where is Donald Trump? I'll tell you where. He is in hiding from his own shutdown.
0:06.9	Utterly pathetic, as California Governor Gavin Newsom noted. He is rotting away. He is stewing in his
0:14.8	misery and his hate for our country. And like the coward that he is, as his hand rots away he is hiding right now he
0:24.5	sent out j d vance and caroline levitt yesterday to spew the same old nonsense blaming migrants
0:32.7	and transgender people for the shutdown it's not working working, Donald. People know that you control all

1:27.8	As Governor Newsom says, call it the Trump effect. Here, play this clip.
1:32.0	If there is a shutdown, I actually think the president would be blamed.
1:36.3	But while Donald Trump is in hiding, and while the government is now shut down, he is bailing
1:41.5	out his MAGA puppet stooge, the president of Argentina.
1:46.2	$20 billion of our taxpayer money is going to help Argentina right now.
1:52.5	They're just going to burn the cash away and probably go bankrupt anyway.
1:56.3	And the moment they're getting that $20 billion, you know what they've done already?
