Trump set up a government shutdown all along. He said he would do it, and now he is. Here\u2019s how it happened:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1: Trump took responsibility and said he would shut down the government.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump: \u201cI will be the one to shut it down<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump said he would be \u201cproud to shut down the government<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cThe president hauled Speaker Paul Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other GOP leaders to the West Wing and instructed them to change course. And they did. \u2018I\u2019m OK with a shutdown,\u2019 Trump told the group, according to two sources in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
