DECEMBER 27, 2018
Dems are the cause of the government shut down.
Senator Chuck Schumer lambasted President Donald Trump over his demand
that American taxpayers pay for a border wall which has led to a partial
government shutdown. In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY House Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi accused President Donald Trump of using "scare tactics"
to build support for his proposed U.S.-Mexican border wall, which she joked
had been reduced from a giant, cement structure "to, I think, a beaded
curtain."
Trump and congressional Democrats remained
locked in a bitter stalemate Tuesday over billions of dollars in funding
for the wall, which Trump said is necessary to end a partial government
shutdown. Most lawmakers are home for the holiday, so a speedy resolution
would amount to a Christmas miracle. While wishing a Merry Christmas
to troops overseas, Trump said he doesn't know when the government shutdown
will end. "Its a disgrace whats happening in our country," Trump
said in the Oval Office. "But other than that, I wish everybody a very
Merry Christmas."
Though congressional Democrats said they will
not support money for a border wall, Trump said the United States needs
"a wall, a fence, whatever they want to call it." The remarks underscore
how dug in both the White House and congressional Democrats have become
amid the shutdown that began Friday at midnight. The president kept a low
profile on Christmas Eve, posting on Twitter that he was "alone" at the
White House waiting for Democrats to agree to a deal to reopen federal
agencies. The White House said Trump met with Homeland Security Secretary
Kirstjen Nielsen about border security but provided no details about the
discussion.
The big Trump surprise is his Midnight Tuesday
trip to Iraq with the First Lady. This was a big positive play of
all the soldiers.
