Trump torpedoes deal to avoid government shutdown

A holiday government shutdown appeared more likely after President Donald Trump informed House Republicans he would refuse to accept a stop-gap measure -- already passed by the Senate -- that doesn't include funds for his long-promised border wall. #CNN #News

Americans were promised by Trump that Mexico was paying for the wall. What a clown.

Should've written a cheque for the wall out of the charity foundation. Didn't have any trouble paying off your legal bills out of it.

We would save alot of money if we didn't pay congress or anyone in washington dc during the shut down and u will see these shut downs would stop real quick.

Take the money from the Trump Foundation

[muhammadnimji]

Last year 1.6 billion was provided for the wall and only 6% has been used to shore up the wall. Why request more funding when you have not used funds for the wall?

Don the Con off on holiday for three weeks. Thousands of workers having to make the next three weeks on a string budget with no wages.

3 week vacation! We cant even afford to take a sick day but hes guna shut the govt down bcuz it wont affect him only us reg Americans.

Paul Ryan never wanted to be speaker, and he's spent his entire tenure illustrating that fact. The weakest, most pointless Republican speaker in history. He will not be missed.

It's amazing how those who are financially secure are so willing to risk the livelihood of those less fortunate. The ones who will be hurt the most are those who depend on their paychecks; federal workers who need their paychecks especially now. The rich have no regard for those people, for us.

He could always ask the Saudis for the money. Sure they'd be delighted to donate.
