Trump: Top Dems aren't allowing negotiators to make border security deal



Trump on Sunday sought to pin blame on Democrats for what lawmakers described as faltering negotiations on border security funding.

"I don’t think the Dems on the Border Committee are being allowed by their leaders to make a deal," Trump tweeted. "They are offering very little money for the desperately needed Border Wall & now, out of the blue, want a cap on convicted violent felons to be held in detention!"




In a follow-up tweet, Trump suggested that Democrats "want a Shutdown" to change the subject from a week of difficult headlines. He referenced his State of the Union address, which received largely positive marks in polls, and the ongoing scandals that have engulfed the top three elected Democrats in Virginia.

No Democrat in Congress has publicly said they support shutting down the government, though acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he could not rule out the possibility of another shutdown over Trump's border security demands.

I am so fucking sick of his lie a minute treason. He just wants this wall to buy (probably bad) Russian steel. If it wasn't bad, why is PUtin making this so important to keeping his asset in place and not blowing his cover. You know it's got to be something like that or drumpf wouldn't give a shit. He's all about breaking every law, doing everything for his own benefit, and destroying America for his own personal profit and PUtin' praise.
