President Trump will meet with House Republicans on Thursday as his frustration builds over their refusal to include border-wall funding in a stopgap spending bill.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement the meeting will take place at noon.

“At this moment, the president does not want to go further without border security, which includes steel slats or a wall,” she said. “The president is continuing to weigh his options.”

Trump has refused to state publicly whether he will accept a funding bill without wall money, renewing the prospect of a partial government shutdown.

15. I don't get the "steel slats" jargon. Did they focus group that term or something?

Makes no sense otherwise. Makes it sound like a fence, not a wall. Also makes it sound climbable unless they plan to electrify it. Trump talks about "being able to see through it." I guess he doesn't realize that works both ways. So people trying to get over the fence can see if there is any border control activity on the other side.
