Donald Trump's White House sunk to a new level of petty on Candy Apples ArchivesSaturday, as the United States government shutdown.
Callers dialing into the publicly available White House comments line -- at 202.456.1111 -- are greeted with a recorded away message. An unrecognizable female voice politely explains that the government is shut down because Democrats are holding it "hostage."

"Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today because Congressional Democrats are holding government funding -- including funding for our troops and other national security priorities -- hostage to an unrelated immigration debate," the recording states.
"Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down."
It's not clear if this message is even legal, since it's a case of the White House using one of the government's public information channels -- in this case, the phone line citizens use to call in and leave comments -- to attack political opponents.
One thing is clear, however, based on the public's response on social media: This continued antagonism toward Congressional Democrats isn't going to bring about a constructive end to the shutdown.
