Washington Post ^ | Apr. 23, 2017 | Sean Sullivan

President Trump and his top aides applied new pressure Sunday on lawmakers to include money for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border in a must-pass government funding bill, raising the possibility of a federal government shutdown this week.

In a pair of tweets, Trump attacked Democrats for opposing the wall and insisted that Mexico would pay for it “at a later date,” despite his repeated campaign promises not including that qualifier.

There isn’t all that much not funding the gov has to cover. Parks and monuments? I’d think they’re self-sufficient in the spring and summer. The inconvenience will be that the DC swamp things won’t get their paychecks.

All Trump has to say is if you close it down we will NOT pay workers for those days off after the fact like you have done in the past.

Then watch how fast the federal tit sucklers change their tune!
