If Donald Trump wants the government shut down, they will.

Your guess is as good as mine -- it's impossible to predict what the GOP crazies will do at any given point.

The Castrated Caucus will do whatever Trump tells them to do. By the time the recent CR winds down, I think Trump is likely to want the government shut down because he'll be in a pissy mood after having the DC Appeals panel slap down his delusional idea of "absolute immunity" for President of the United States and also a jury in New York awarding millions (more) in actual and punitive damages to E. Jean Carroll because Defendant Donald does not know when to shut his face.
