Trump lowers his ask for border wall funding

As more agencies run out of funding, President Trump is now also threatening to close the border with Mexico if Democrats refuse his demand for money to build a wall along the southern border. Mr. Trump has lowered his asking price. Democrats plan to pass legislation to try to restore the government when they take control of the House on Thursday. Nikole Killion reports.

Art of the Deal. First, make ridiculous claims. Then, bluster, bravado, and bluff. Finally... Hope for the best.

That’s why savings are important. You never know when you’re going stop receiving your paycheck, especially if you work for the government of a country where shutdowns are common.

Trump said that Mexico IS GOING TO pay for the wall. Got amnesia??

[scubadiva]

As Jan Major said in the New York Times comment section today: "To quote a fellow FB poster, Steve Engle, 'If it were possible to close a border like that, without a wall, wouldn't it prove the absurdity of actually building it?'"

Three shut downs in two years with majority in Congress. We have two more to go. If you work for the government, you might want to consider different employment until Trump is out of office

[larvale]

Did he asked Fox and friends first if its ok for the lower amount for the wall.

My daughter and son-in-law are looking into borrowing to pay the mortgage in February. He's a contractor, no paycheck if not working.

[petereyes]

Give Trump 500 billion dollars for his wall.
When he is done with his wall.
Give a 5 dollars cardboard boat to an illegal so he can row it from Cuba to Florida.

[barrykaine]
