President Donald Trump went after his immigration critics on Twitter Thursday amid increasing outrage over his apparent backing down from a shutdown fight over funding his wall on the southern border.

In his latest Twitter proclamations, Trump claimed he won’t sign any legislation from Democrats unless he gets what he wants on border security. He also said “Steel Slats” are tantamount to his “Wall.” In a second tweet, Trump appeared to downplay “talk about the Wall,” declaring that the “Border is tight.”

Trump’s tweets come as it appears Congress will sign a short-term continuing resolution that will fund the government through the New Year but deny funding for the wall. Trumps’ flinching on the wall has drawn frustration from hard right conservatives, including many of his usual defenders.

As far as the media being “silent” on the border situation, it’s possible Trump is upset because Fox & Friends, usually one of his favorite shows, said he got played on border security throughout the last two days. Thursday morning they questioned whether Trump has really made the border more secure, given the ongoing chaos around there.

6. It's unreal.

2. He's done now, he's fucked over his own supporters bigly

[llmart]

5. I love how he had to put the word "wall" in parentheses...

just to make sure people know it's not really a fence (which it is).

Next thing you know, we'll have a cute, white picket Steel Slatted structure (FENCE).

I've have truly exhausted all derogatory names for this guy. I guess right now the only term I can use is "desperate".

7. To whom does he owe that money?

He wants us to pay back his old debts, his new debts, and his future debts.

I am so sick of him.

8. He stopped the caravan?

Maybe I don't understand the border, but I don't think 4,000 people thought they were just going to waltz across the US border and go to the nearest welfare department. They were coming up to apply for legal asylum.

Trump wants us to thank him for solving a problem that never existed.

9. Hey trump you moron

You used the term "Great Wall"

That does NOT bring images of steel slats to mind...

Of course I hate the very idea of the wall, but even if I supported it, I would be very disappointed in that description hahaha

EDIT- OH YEAH!! The border is so "tight" that it stopped the caravan, so that's why we need the wall... Mental Pretzel
