Trump Administration Defends Plan to Close the Border, Telling Democrats, 'We Told You So'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, defended President Trump’s threat to end assistance to three Central American countries and to close parts of the United States border with Mexico next week, saying on Sunday that it would take “something dramatic” to prevent Mr. Trump from carrying out that plan.

“Why are we talking about closing the border?” Mr. Mulvaney said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.” “Not to try and undo what’s happening, but simply to say, ‘look we need the people from the ports of entry to go out and patrol in the desert where we don’t have a wall.’”

The president has threatened to close off the border and to cut off aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — known as the Northern Triangle — several times before and has not followed through.

But this week, emboldened by what his aides said is a growing bipartisan recognition of the problem at the border, Mr. Trump ratcheted up his language.

Sounds like Mulvaney is the designated asshole today.
