Trump, for some reason, lies about not having left the White House when he clearly has
President Donald Trump has been having quite the weekend.

Meanwhile, the government has been shut down for the longest stretch of time in U.S. history thanks to Trump's demand for an absurd amount of money to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without paychecks that they desperately need to survive.
