President Trump on Tuesday threatened to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn't present him with a spending bill for the next fiscal year that includes funding for a wall on the southern border.
“The obstructionist Democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me, if we have to close down our government, we're building that wall,” Trump said at a rally in Phoenix.
