Donald Trump is heading to Camp David where he says talks will take place with senior White House staff on border security as the partial government shutdown moves into its third week.

Leaving for the presidential retreat in Maryland, Trump told reporters Sunday that he has the support of most government workers who are impacted by the shutdown.

NBC News’s Kelly O’Donnell asked Trump, “Can you relate to the pain of federal workers who can’t pay their bills?”

Trump answered, “I can relate. I’m sure the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustments. They always do. People understand what’s going on. Many of those people that won’t be receiving a paycheck, many of those people agree 100%”

“This shutdown could end tomorrow or it also could go on for a long time,” Trump added.

Vice President Mike Pence and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney met with Democratic aides on Saturday to work towards ending the impasse, but both sides have indicated that no progress was made.

“V.P. Mike Pence and team just left the White House,” Trump tweeted. “Briefed me on their meeting with the Schumer/Pelosi representatives. Not much headway made today. Second meeting set for tomorrow. After so many decades, must finally and permanently fix the problems on the Southern Border!”

Twitter was furious:

Trust fund brat who has never had to worry about putting food on the table or being evicted can relate to people not getting paid because he doesn’t feel like making a deal

What is WRONG with that man? Is he really that clueless?

What adjustments can be made when you don't have food to feed your children, gas in your car, utilities shutoff? Tone deaf and out of touch with working folks.

Trump just figures that the furloughed workers can just draw from the trust funds they inherited from their crooked racists Daddy, as well.

Just imagine if Obama or Hillary had said this.
