While federal workers may feel the pressure of the lingering shutdown, President Donald Trump is not. He told pool reporters Wednesday in Iraq that he’s not backing down on his demand for a border wall: “Whatever it takes. We need a wall.”
“We have terrorists coming in through the southern border,” he added, baselessly.
Not only does Trump seem unswayed by the notion of tabling his demand for wall funding to reopen the government, he even expressed confidence that he’d make a trip to the southern border for a wall “groundbreaking” before his next State of the Union address, scheduled for next month.
I remember Louisiana Congressman ‘Bob Livingston’ giving a ‘we’ll never give in!’ Speech on the House floor during the 95-95 shutdown only to have the GOP fold a bit later.
He’ll be folding once Sean Hannity tells him he’s put up enough of a “fight”. Has the moron POS even mentioned the little boy who died at the border?
Whatever it takes, you need to go.
No, you need the wall, Donnie. We need a competent president.
It’s going to be embarrassing when Turtle finally decides it isn’t worth it to keep trying to appease Individual 1 and the CR gets passed with a veto-proof majority.
Sometimes I really like it when history rhymes.
