Trump threatens to shut down government in September

Saturday night, President Trump threatened to shut down the federal government in September if Congress does not approve more funding to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. The president fired up his base at a campaign-style rally in Michigan. For the second year in a row, he was a no show at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett reports.

The only thing Trump needs to shut down as his mouth.

The president is going to shut down the federal government? That's great news! Until it starts up again, then that sucks. ☹️

Shut it down completely, but not because of the fence, but rather, due to the corruption of politics.

I hope this blight is behind bars by September.

Look at your society in all it's glory, you can tell how great a country is by the intelligence of it's society. When you devalue the philosophers they will watch your game fall to peiece's. Outstanding choice from your wide range of choices in the elections i shall add, you really could have not done better, bravo!

Why all gta crimminals got be other races but not white, Gta v has micheal, atleast there is one white crimminal on gta series.

[johnlee]

just a thought
Durinf his campaign he was saying Mexico will pay for the wall. Rest assured. Nor did they not pay for it, they did not pay anything at all. Now he wants Congress to pay for it, or he will shut down the government. I am all for security and the wall. But there has to be a final solution. Or it will never be done. By the great negotiator. I support trump. But this is confusing. Any answers?

Hippies what happened? When did so many of you turn right wing? In the 1980's I bet.

It is a shame that the other two branches of our government are not committed to defending our country. One branch cannot do it . IT TAKES ALL THREE BRANCHES WORKING TOGETHER.

Wow CBS you guys really pull what you can to twist the narrative. "THREATENING" not even close. More patriotic. I was amazed by how awesome that speech went. MAGA!
