Trump warns of a 'very long' government shutdown if Democrats oppose bill that includes border wall

President Trump warned Friday that a partial government shutdown would last “for a very long time” if Congress does not meet his demand Friday for billions in funding for his long-promised border wall in a stopgap spending measure.

In a spate of morning tweets, Trump sought to pin blame on Democrats for a potential shutdown even though he said last week that he would proudly own one if lawmakers did not provide at least $5 billion toward his marquee campaign promise.

And he suggested that Senate rules should be changed so that Republicans could pass the bill without any Democratic support — a move that a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) promptly dismissed.

“The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED,” Trump wrote. “If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!”

4. The cowardly way. We have to push the meme "coward" He has to hold government hostage to get his

50 billion for the wall. If the wall is so meritorious it should be able to stand alone in a clean bill or at least not attached to a CR. He and his supporters must be told that he would not have gotten the GOP votes in the House had they all not understood that the bill would not pass the Senate.
