The Democrats shut down the government with 15 votes to keep it closed! We're was the Democrats empathy for the food stamps crowd ,where was the Democrats empathy for our military that didn't get paid, where was the Democrats empathy from Democrats for air traffic controllers, where was the empathy from Democrats for government workers who didn't get paid the government could not reopen without seven Democrats voting with the Republicans for a total of 60 vote to reopen the government! It's to bad msdnc won't tell the truth about the Democrats government shut down!.

Rent increases are due to greedy landlords, no matter who is in power. AirBnB and Blackstone are another culprits.

"Let them eat cake" is a quote attributed to Marie Antoinette, representing a symbol of the aristocracy's indifference to the suffering of the poor. While the phrase has become widely associated with her, historians believe it is unlikely she ever said it, as the original French phrase, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," appeared in the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau decades before the French Revolution . Also, cake in France around that time was more like bread than the cake we know today.

I’m sorry but if you didn’t see the coming and it’s only going to get worse with this administration, then you need to educate yourself on how the economy works.

@JodyJohnson-l2u November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

Comparing Trump to Queen Marie Antoinette is an insult to Marie Antoinette, who was in fact a very intelligent, politically savvy and compassionate woman.

@nicollewallacemsnbc Respect to you Nicolle but from my standpoint as a independent voter (for the president I voted on the issues and skipped the actual president ) aged millennial(40) with TWO TEACHERS in her family ( dad and younger sister ); I am GLAD the shutdown is over , it shouldn’t have taken BOTH SIDES ( yes I’m blaming both democrats and republicans for the shutdown : they should’ve talked it out like ADULTS and not SULKED LIKE KIDS and been so damned stubborn ) and yet we STILL WONT GET TO THE MAIN PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY ….MENTAL HEALTH

BS!

Marie Antoinette is most famously associated with the quote "Let them eat cake" (or the original French "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"), but there is no historical evidence that she ever said it. The phrase was attributed to a "great princess" in writings from before the French Revolution and was later attached to Marie Antoinette after her death, likely to portray her as out of touch with the struggles of the poor.

"Let the starving peasants eat cake" For those of you not familiar with French history.

Trump espouses the law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest, death of the weak

@sfoss9470 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

Everything he says is a lie, blames everything on Obama and Biden. How he can be the president of our beautiful country is unbelievable.

They got money for wars but won't feed the poor. 2PAC

The things he says about people is always him talking about him.

@angelobasso8096 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

You Nicolle and MSNBC are disgusting!!! The left for 40 days refused to sign the same CR they signed yesterday. No different than the other 13 times it was offered. Real Democrats decide to go against the Communist arm (Mamdani, Bernie, AOC and the Squad) to reopen the Government that they shut down because of the Communists. Now the Commies want to go after Real Democrats. Nancy allowed them relevance to the point now where the Communists took over. Oh for MSNBC and Nicolle, freedoms of the press does not include treason!!! When the DOJ comes knocking, you will know why!!!

So…will the majority of the electorate who put this self serving buffoon in office accept responsibility for their part in the USA's demise? Bet not.

@GalaxyRover1020 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

Trump needs to pay, pay BIG time. Six feet under.

@dixondeuxyeux November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

DJT promises nothing, absolutely nothing. He will tell you want you want to hear and then renege on any agreements to make what he promised happen. We should not be surprised that liars lie and criminals commit crime. How much money in kick backs is he getting for these tax breaks for the wealthy elite? How much money is he making selling off American democracy? One would have to be a brain dead skeleton on life support to believe anything he or his clown cabinet says. They imagine a romantic version of America returning to Jim Crow America. tRump became president for one simple reason, to avoid JAIL. And now that he has succeeded in that goal, he wants to steal as much as he can from the country. What did Musk do rooting around the Federal Reserve? Looking for ways to siphon off money. Period. tRump must go. When you find a rat in the basement, you don't bring it KFC and let it decorate the walls in gold yoghurt lids. If you're kind, you chase it outside to run away. And if the rat ever called you a 'nigma, kindness goes out the window and you get your shotgun. I hope the Trump name goes down in history the same way as Adolf Hitler. A blight of human decency.

I’m watching you history ignorant people who think Pres. Trump is a bad leader— read my above text. I want facts from you— and by the way here in rural America— eggs are NOT TEN BUCKS PER DOZEN!

@EM-re5xq November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

I’ll never understand why people think humans being all need to be equal.

@ml8028 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

Trump Worst president huh? Trump most immoral president? Apparently, you forget about the very president who— literally CRAPPED HIS OWN PANTS IN FRONT OF THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, at a formal state dinner, employed a full scale money laundering scheme through the scam / false use of NGO’s, and LAW- FARED President Trump in a way, that has —LITERALLY/- NEVER EVER happened before, AT ANY TIME TO ANYONE— in the entire history of American Politics— AND MOST UNREAL OF ALL— MAYBE— are — get this— EIGHT THOUSAND PARDONS falsely (fake) signed because Biden was clueless and, still— running for Presidency!!! YES, yes, yes Biden does all of this, AND STILL GIVES — YES YES GIVES TRILLIONS AWAY — then BIDEN CAUSING THE INFLATION TO EXPLODE AND RUNAWAY INTO THE TRILLIONS— ADDING A TRILLION NEW DEBT DOLLARS EVRRY SINGLE THREE MONTHS!!!!!! —to the point we were near collapse.

GUYS, folks, please listen— we WERE on the path to oblivion when Pres. Trump took over—AND ONLY THROUGH HIS PLAN OF TARRIF CHARGES CAN WE EVEN HOPE TO GET OUT OF IT!!! These are facts.
Not to mention just last month, or might have been prior, FROM THE TARRIF MONEY— our national debt was LITERALLY PAID DOWN JUST A LITTLE—. We did not get in this shape overnight— we won’t get out of it overnight either.

But, when you all proclaim how bad President is, compared to everyone prior— are you really serious or have you gotten so caught up in it that it becomes for you like a sporting event???

I TRULY URGE YOU TO REMEMBER, it IS NOT A SPORTING EVENT—- it’s our country at stake! These are facts and outcomes we should want ANY PRESIDENT policy to do well!!! Do you, or are you just yelling for your team to score and hate Trump so much you can not see anything else!!!?
At least give PRESIDENT TRUMP, the same amount of time, to fix the mess, Biden and Obama AT THE LEAST VERY CLEARLY DID MUCH TO cause!!!

PS— Will be looking for your responses.
Can’t wait to learn JUST HOW YOU DEFEND former President Biden— which by the way — some great news— seriously— I JUST READ WHERE THEY THINK THEY HAVE PROOF / video of person who brought several pounds of cocaine into White House— so they can finally bring criminal charges!!!!!! I mean, WE KNOW, that nobody that was President Biden’s family nor staff could be guilty of that right??! So, I’m so very glad such will be corrected so that President Biden’s legacy can be protected— AND HE TOO CAN BUILD A PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY TO RIVAL PRES. OBAMA’s!!!

@martymusch1375 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

You don’t have to settle for a leader who lies about all of his responsibilities.

@mcass3663 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

It's going to get worse folks. Then it will be too late to save ourselves from the traitor of America and his crime family.
We need to take action and IMPEACH this criminal stealing from us blue collar workers to enrich himself and his fantasy presidency!

@tomhammer1784 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

Is DonOldTrump aware of what caused the Russian revolution of 1917? While the elite partied, the peasants starved and froze. If you do not wantbto read about it…watch Doctor Zhivago movie.

@tomhammer1784 November 17, 2025 - 12:37 pm

Trump,truly lacks critical thinking skills. Any American that has shopped at Walmart knows that a half gallon of milk costs less than a gallon.
