WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Congress must have a deal to fund the federal government before the summer break in August or lawmakers would have to stay in Washington.

In a tweet, Trump also said the funding bill should include money to build a wall on the border with Mexico.

“The Senate should get funding done before the August break, or NOT GO HOME,” he tweeted. “Wall and Border Security should be included.”

A $1.3 trillion spending bill, which Trump signed in March, will keep the government funded through the end of September.

1. Because he needs more naps and golf trips

2. ...to prevent the Democrats having a chance to campaign for November's election

3. Typical,

So today he's not threatening to shut it down, just wait until tomorrow, he'll change his threat. They should tell him he should practice what he preaches and stop playing so much golf.

4. Wall Security?

6. They have to have their holidays

like Memorial Day (which will probably be a week) and then of course July 4th (which will probably be a week especially since it falls on a Wednesday).

So they effectively have 2 weeks left of this month, and then 4 weeks (maybe) in June, and then maybe 3 weeks in July (if you're lucky), and they will be GONE and you might see them September 10 (although they would have to do something for September 11, so...). They will do a C.R. (the length of which will depend on how they are doing in the polls).

8. Hey Trump! Congress is a co-equal branch of Government.

They do what they please. Like not impeaching your sorry ass. You are not a fucking king.
