With a potential government shutdown looming less than two weeks away, Pelosi told Mr. Trump, "you will not win" on the border wall. The president demanded border wall funding — and said he's not afraid the shut down the government over it.

Pence is just dead weight.

You'd think he would have at least said one or two words in support of the president.

I doubt Pelosi & Schumer agree to meet again after POTUS called in the press on them today. They did not intend for this to be public. Ha ha.

Not to sure about that.
Didn’t Trump do the same thing the first time the government shut down for 1/2 a day?

Absolutely.

Trump skunked them by having the press there.

Now it’s on YouTube.

I have thought that for years. Nothing like making a big training ground of the border.

Yeah, Pence has been so helpful with his buddy Paul Ryan—such as with getting Obamacare repealed.

The black robed turncoats might let him diss npr, but not pp. Watch them try to keep him from using available funds for a wall. Tough. If I’m not mistaken, Congress passed a bill to build that wall, many years ago.

The Rats are intent on taking down the country. President Trump needs millions of his supporters to come to Washington am=nd make clear that Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the anti-American plotters are going to become hunted animals if they don’t get out of the way.

“I don’t think Trump can get away with having the military build the wall without fund specifically appropriated for it.”

Sure he can.

The real issue is that the Constitution does not specify the MEANS of exercising the specified powers. Then there is the fact that the CC discussed limiting the fed/gov to the specified powers and it was rejected.

There are many more tasks charged in the Constitution to the fed/gov than just delivering the mail.

Dems are on the losing side on Illegals, and know it, but GOP has gone along with them because money men behind both parties want it...

Dems and their MSM traitors will attempt to spin the shutdown over the wall as a win for Dems... but its an ABSOLUTE LOSER....

Pence has nothing to do with Ryan and I doubt he is more than an acquaintance much less a good friend. His problem is lack of charisma which is not his fault.

He was not there to argue with fools when the President loves to do that.
