BREAKING: Trump Warns Government Shutdown ‘Will Last For a Very Long Time’

President Trump blamed Democrats on Friday for the possible government shutdown. This comes after Trump said he would be “proud” to shut down the government if border-wall funding was not included in the spending bill.

Shutdown today if Democrats do not vote for Border Security!

Trump also tweeted that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should fight “as hard as he fought for anything” to secure the wall funding.

Mitch, use the Nuclear Option and get it done! Our Country is counting on you!

The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!
