Amid a government shutdown centered on President Donald Trump’s demands for border wall funding, the president again slammed Democrats on Monday for refusing to give him the funding levels he wants.

“Virtually every Democrat we are dealing with today strongly supported a Border Wall or Fence,” Trump tweeted. “It was only when I made it an important part of my campaign, because people and drugs were pouring into our Country unchecked, that they turned against it. Desperately needed!”

The comments echo a talking point that congressional Republicans have circulated in recent days — noting that a failed 2013 immigration deal, which garnered Senate Democratic support, would have devoted $46 billion to border security.

That’s far more than the $5 billion Trump has demanded in border wall funding, a figure that largely prompted the current shutdown.

1. Hypocrisy like claiming Mexico will pay for the Wall?

He is the embodiment of a complete & total liar & hypocrite. No sane citizen buys his load of fertilizer anymore.

[Achilleaze]

7. Why is he asking us to pay? He promised Mexico would pay.

The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief needs to stop lying and breaking promises.

[PatSeg]

9. And why didn't he take the $25 billion

offered and agreed upon last year? He doesn't care about the wall or the money. He wants to make everyone an adversary, so he can be the injured party.

[noneof_theabove]

18. What he wants...

every panel in the wall/fence with bigly gold letters D J T.

He only cares for himself and what he can get out of anything.

[PatSeg]

19. And even then he won't be happy

Nothing will ever satisfy him.

2. The Art of the Squeal. Nt

[Scarsdale]

3. That $5 Billion

is just tRump's share for pushing this insane idea through. He employs undocumented workers at his establishments, even tRump Tower, so why pretend to be outraged? Same deal, different day. There HAS to be money in this for him. It is his only motivation.

4. Trump says Mexico Will Pay for a Wall Compilation - 100 % he says.

Trump says Mexico Will Pay for a Wall Compilation - 100 % he says.

If the American taxpayer doesn't pay for my wall, I'm gonna shut down the gov't.

5. The Republicans should build the wall out of Hillary's emails since there is obviously no way to get

The Republicans should build the wall out of Hillary's emails since there is obviously no way to get over them.

There is no legitimate reason for the American taxpayer to pay for Trump's wall.

It is Mexico's obligation according to Trump... 100%

Trump and his GOP falsely blame democrats but the republicans have the power to pass Donald's $5billion in the Senate.

It is their choice to refuse to use that power.

6. They shouldn't give him a dime for the wall

And remind him he had an earlier deal with money he refused to accept, and publicly claimed that he wouldn't interfere with their deal only to do exactly that. He can't be trusted period for anything he says. They should suggest Mexico should pay for it like he promised so many times, or nothing. He should be asked over and over again why he hasn't kept that promise he made to the American people. He claimed how easily, he bragged, how he could do that , and he could do it all by himself. It was all an act from serial liar trump, and is still now. Its a diversion , a distraction. Media should stop promoting this story , its propaganda.

8. The delusion is strong in this one...

His hate brings him to the dark side.

[justie18]

10. But

There is a huge difference between Border Security and building a wall along the border. Democrats are in favor of border security, but not building the wall, as it is a stupid solution and a medieval idea.

[beachbum bob]

11. its hell when you have to actually compromise with an idiot when trump looks in the mirror

[turbinetree]

12. He's pissed off that he didn't jet down to that roach infested home to vacation on the

taxpayer dime..........................so that he could somehow scam money from the wall into his pocket..................he really can go fuck himself................


10 days to go asshole TEN DAYS to January 3, 2019........................and he will fully understand what happens when 8.6 million more people or 53.1% more people flipped the House of Representatives with 40 new congressional people....................we are coming asshole..................we are coming...............................

[keithbvadu2]

16. Poor Melania has to come back to the WH that Donald calls a dump.

[Racerdog1]

13. Fucking embecile

This fucking orange plague sucks ass.

[world wide wally]

14. Trump sees this wall as a monument to himself.

NEVER give the fucker a nickel for it!

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Exactly.

It's always all about him.

[FarPoint]

17. Ignore the Grifter behind the curtain...

This is my New Years advice...IGNORE the DAMN TWEETS....

Stop giving this presidential failure any attention...it makes him feel important...which, he is actually abusive and obnoxious...not presidential.
