Donald Trump was sitting in disgust when Chuck Schumer said before him and the Press that Trump PROMISED his supporters and voters that Mexico would pay for the wall. Once outside the White House, he stressed that point again.

Nancy Pelosi called the impending shutdown..the Trump shutdown. She was not going to be bullied by this man.

Put it in a bill, get it on the floor, debate it.

It would keep the ridiculous "Mexico will pay for it" lie front and center for weeks.
