Pelosi, Schumer push back on new Trump demand for wall funding: 'We hope he learned his lesson'

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) indicated on Sunday that President Trump's reported plan to ask for $8.6 billion in the fiscal 2020 budget to fund a wall along the southern border was a non-starter.

"President Trump hurt millions of Americans and caused widespread chaos when he recklessly shut down the government to try to get his expensive and ineffective wall, which he promised would be paid for by Mexico," the Democratic leaders said in a statement.

"Congress refused to fund his wall and he was forced to admit defeat and reopen the government. The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again," they added. "We hope he learned his lesson."

Pelosi and Schumer instead suggested that Trump put money that could be used on the border wall toward education and workforce development programs.

the last thing we need is the Great Wall of Trump. Everyone knows the only reason he wants this so badly is so he can be remembered by something grand. Grand? Only in the eyes of a few. Most will see it for what it is, the masturbation of a racist narcissist.
