(53,061 posts)15. Hate to be picky but no he didn't. He said that he wanted to shut the country down

"We have to have borders and we have to have them fast and we need the wall," he said, then referred to the fall spending bill: "We come up again on Sept. 28, and if we don't get border security, we have no choice; we'll close down the country because we need border security."
I don't think he misspoke. I think he thinks that he has the power to shut down border crossings and everything else.

"rails" and "trump" don't belong in the same sentence - unless it is the rails of the train
