One would hope, but it's Trump. He's been in situations where his actions and lack of moral fiber should have killed his entire career and reputation. He's managed to survive, largely because the Trump base I always mention stands by him no matter what. Trump said it best - he could shoot someone in Manhattan and not lose support - he is viewed as infallible by so many individuals.
While this is harming Trump more than anything in the last, say, year or so, I'm not sure it will be his downfall. If it does turn out to be his downfall, then it would be quite ironic - after everything he has said, done, acted on improperly, everything he has fucked up, it would simply be too funny and enjoyable that this would be the downfall.

But the DUP hate Sinn Fein wayyy more than the other way around and just fucking refuse because they're shit. Of course, "Northern Ireland has no government" isn't the biggest of issues, because it's still ultimately administered by Westminster (who have the nuclear option of 'direct rule' over Northern Ireland if needs be), and doesn't impact local government. So ultimately, shit still gets done, just at low levels only. Like how Belgium survived nearly two years without a government.
Well that and the First Secretary of NI doesn’t want to call another election until Brexit is finalized. I wonder why

It largely depends on hownthisnstunt gets resolved, and if he threatens to do it again next year. If the same shit happens next year, I can imagine people getting sick of this shit. If it doesn't, the impact of thebshutdown will feel like a distant memory to many.
