Yesterday President Trump vowed to shut down the federal government if Congress refuses to cough up the dough for the southern border wall that the American people have been demanding for decades.
“Build that wall,” Trump said at a campaign-style rally in Phoenix, Arizona. “Now the obstructionist Democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me if we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall.”
A Republican president threatening a Republican Congress with a shutdown is a political rarity like the total eclipse much of the nation experienced the same day Trump made his statement.
