Trump floats September shutdown for 'border security'
CNN ^ | Apr. 28, 2018 | Eli Watkins, CNN

President Donald Trump told supporters at a speech on Saturday that if Congress did not meet his funding demands for border security, he may support a government shutdown this fall.

Trump was speaking in Washington Township, Michigan, at the same time that the White House correspondents' dinner was taking place back in Washington, DC, with some lawmakers and current and former members of his administration in attendance. During his remarks, he alluded to the appropriations deadline at the end of September.

"We have to have borders, and we have to have them fast," he said. "And we need security. We need the wall. We're going to have it all. And again, that wall has started. We got 1.6 billion. We come up again on September 28th, and if we don't get border security, we'll have no choice. We'll close down the country because we need border security."

Okay knock off the reality of President Trump. You will give the Never Trumpster Snowflakes severe headaches and mental trauma.

You posted: “Examples of this is where
- Trump staked out 15% corporate taxes, then dial it to 20% then 21%. This got the nevertrumpers on board thinking Trump didn’t get what he wanted!

-remember the $1.6billion in the ominibus bill? Trump been trying to get this for 6 months, but DEM kept denying it be included into any spending bill. Trump created leverage by expiration DACA. Offered DACA for $25 billion. DEM/Graham countered with DACA for $1.6 billion. Now he got the $1.6 billion without giving up DACA.

All the Trump critics were all focus on the fact he didn’t get funding to build the wall, he exactly got the exact funding he asked for 6 months ago!

I read this week, that two out of three voters want immigration reform - less immigration.
