Maxine Waters (D-CA) vowed on Sunday that all of President Donald Trump&#8217;s secrets would be exposed before he left office<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on MSNBC, host David Gura asked Waters to respond to Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-immigration-trump\/trump-threatens-us-government-shutdown-over-border-wall-idUSKBN1KJ0H7\">threat to shut down the government<\/a> if he does not get funding to build a border wall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, this president is a bully and he will try to intimidate all of us,&#8221; Waters insisted. &#8220;He is not going to shut down anything. As a matter of fact, people will remember that he said he was going to build this wall and he was going to make Mexico pay for the wall. They said they weren&#8217;t going to pay for anything. Now he wants the American citizens to pay for this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Waters noted that Trump has taken credit for positive economic numbers, but she said that the president is weighed down by his other scandals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is so much going on with this president and his allies and with Giuliani and all of this,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;With the judge having decided that they can go forward with the emoluments claim with what is happening on the border.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you couple that with the fact that his son has lied, he has lied about that meeting that took place at the tower, at the Trump Tower, all of that is going to help, you know, obscure the message that he is trying to bring on the economy,&#8221; Waters said. &#8220;This president is wreaking havoc on this country. And so while there is some improvement in the economy, we have all of this other mess that we have to take a look at and what is, you know, in the forefront of what is being talked about in the media.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/crooksandliars.com\/2018\/07\/maxine-waters-says-trump-has-nowhere-hide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crooks and Liars<\/a>&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZfMdDz7-Fgs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a> is not the one in the article.\u00a0 That one cannot be embedded.\u00a0 But this one covers the same event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ZfMdDz7-Fgs?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kudos Maxine!\u00a0 We need hundreds more just like you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">RESIST!!<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">VOTE BLUE!!<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">99 DAYS!!<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few people are still serving in the Congress of the US House of Representatives with 27 years in office.\u00a0 Only one African American Representative, John Lewis [D-GA], has been there longer, and on Sunday, Maxine Waters [D-CA].\u00a0 In that time she has grown a pair of huge brass balls, something every Democrat needs.
