Trump's last, best chance for wall creates latest shutdown threat

Last edited Mon Nov 26, 2018, 07:50 PM - Edit history (1)

Congress is returning to Washington with a tight deadline to pass seven spending bills and avert a partial government shutdown over President Trump’s demand that lawmakers fund his wall on the Mexican border.

The partial shutdown will take place on Dec. 7 if Congress does not pass legislation, creating the last chance for Trump to win wall funding before Democrats take over the House majority in January.

Trump has threatened to veto a spending bill that does not include funding for the wall. If he follows through, the partial shutdown would hit the Homeland Security, Justice and State departments, among other government entities.

“This would be a very good time to do a shutdown,” Trump told reporters at the White House earlier this month. “I don’t think it’s going to be necessary, because I think the Democrats will come to their senses, and if they don’t come to their senses, we will continue to win elections.”

Apparently no one has been brave enough to tell him about the midterms yet.

Close the border all by himself like he threatened to earlier.

And I seem to remember something about Mexico paying for this wall during his campaign? Trump assured the voters the taxpayers would not have to contribute anything. Only Trump, the stable genius ready with all of the answers on day one, could save them.

Just like he lied before and said he would. Congress could change their minds (the gop) and start proceedings to remove him from office he if does.
