The White House indicated Wednesday that President Trump could go along with a government funding bill that does not include money to begin building his proposed wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Senate Republicans are not planning on including the funds in a measure to keep the government funded beyond the end of April.
“That is our request,” press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday when asked if the wall funding is a deal-breaker for a must-pass spending bill.
“We will continue to work with Congress on the rest of the [fiscal 2017] budget,” he said. Trump requested $1.5 billion from lawmakers this year to begin work on the wall he wants to build along the southern border, a central pillar of his campaign promise to crack down on illegal immigration.
But key GOP senators have said they will likely put that funding request on hold as they try to broker an agreement to keep the government running beyond the April 29 funding deadline.
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, said Tuesday the supplemental spending request that includes money for the wall will likely wait until later in the year.
Blunt said adding the request for defense and homeland security money would complicate talks over the broader spending measure.

I will bet the liberal go fund me would pull the page!!!
Yes they would pull the plug no doubt.
Yes they would pull the plug no doubt.
Or pull the page.
Now that you mention it, it does have that familiar ring.
Probably, but there are other fund me type sites.
Just allow advertisements on both sides of the wall. It will pay for itself.
Trumps next rally will be held in a phone booth if he doesn’t make good on this.
This is pathetic. 20 billion is the equivalent of a rounding error in the overall Fed spend. Furthermore, illegals are costing us 150 billion annually.
And at this point, Ivanka’s politics are quite clear.
Maybe the people going to the rallies can spare some time, get off their ass, and get control of the retards THEY sent to D.C..
God knows where the peanut gallery here gets off acting like your job ended back in November and it was time to go on a 4 year vacation.
President Trump definitely needs to get back out there for some rallies and listen to the people who put him in office.
Certainly seems like he is either being misled, getting horrible advice or even being corrupted somewhat by the miasma of the swamp!!!
Yep. Gorebull warming weather cult funding, here it comes.
