Tennessee GOP Sen. Bob Corker said on Sunday that President Donald Trump pushed the government into partial shutdown as an act of political posturing.

"This is a made-up fight, so the President can look like he's fighting, but even if he wins, our borders are going to be insecure," Corker said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Corker, a retiring senator and frequent Trump critic, said the dispute over border security and Trump's proposed border wall was "a purposefully contrived fight".

"We can secure our borders," Corker said. "We can solve this problem. This is a made-up fight."
Asked if he meant Trump was using this as a campaign issue rather than seeking a deal, Corker said, "it has to be that."

"It's a spectacle, and candidly, it's juvenile," Corker said. "The whole thing is juvenile."

2. Trump designed the script and fight...

This is self induced drama...not naturally occurring drama....there is a 360 degree difference.

He made up this entire chapter of Trump Shutdown just to appear powerful.....it is the way of a Grifter...
