"TRUMP: I hear the Democrats are going to be blamed and the Republicans are going to be blamed. I actually think the president would be blamed. If there is a shutdown, and it's not going to be a horrible shutdown because, as you know, things will sort of keep rolling MEREDITH VIEIRA, AMERICAN BROADCASTER: Well, it was a partial shutdown. Right."
"UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Who's going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a is shutdown of our government? TRUMP: Well, if you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top. And the president's the leader, and he's got to get everybody in a room, and he's got to lead."
Video records show Donald Trump saying presidents would be blamed for a government shutdown and that the president must lead efforts to resolve it. A government shutdown began this week. Republicans sought to blame Democrats with a claim, widely debunked, that Democrats want to provide illegal immigrants free health care. Democrats blamed Trump and Republican leaders because the White House and both chambers of Congress are controlled by his party. The video includes Trump stating that a shutdown would be a negative mark on the presidency and that problems start and must be solved from the top.
