Trump Says It's a 'Good Time' for a Government Shutdown Over Wall Funding
The window of opportunity is closing on Donald Trump as a lame duck Congress prepares to address the issue of funding most of the government before a temporary spending bill expires on December 7.
Specifically, Trump wants funding for his border wall. And he may be willing to shut down most of the government until he gets it.
CNN: (https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/17/politics/trump-southern-border-government-shutdown/index.html)
"I think probably, if I was ever going to do a shutdown over border security, when you look at the caravans, when you look at the mess, when you look at the people coming in, this would be a very good time to do a shutdown," Trump said.
Trump added, however, that he didn't think a shutdown would "be necessary, because I think the Democrats will come to their senses."
Well, good luck with that, Mr. President. Republicans are still in the majority and Democrats are not going to lift a finger to help them if a shutdown looms, nor are any of them going to vote money for a border wall.
The simple reason? They don't have to.
