President Trump was asked about federal employees who are impacted by the government shutdown.
He had this to say:
My question to the president, “Can you relate to the pain of federal workers who can’t pay their bills?” Pres. Trump:”I can relate…”. Watch: pic.twitter.com/WJCBHZQ15x

In all fairness, I don’t know that Trump can “relate” to normal people who can’t pay their bills.
I also don’t necessarily think this is a fair question. It paints him out to be the only responsible party. He’s CLEARLY not.
But if ANYONE shouldn’t be ripping on how Trump can’t relate… it’s this guy:
Mr. President, I doubt very much that you can “relate” to federal workers.
When is the last time you had to choose between paying your mortgage, feeding your family or putting gas in the car?
End the shutdown. Pay federal employees. https://t.co/rHm3gpmPMz

Bernard, you never had a real job in your life. Don’t act like you can relate to hard working Americans. Build the wall Bernard.

This coming from the guy who wants everyone “else” making a few hundred thousand dollars to pay more taxes while he buys more houses. https://t.co/74anxqLkQa

Even some of his OWN supporters realize this wasn’t the best move:
Uuuh, love you dude. But can you answer your own question?

But seriously dude, sit this one out.
