Trump Again Threatens a Government Shutdown

President Trump again threatened a government shutdown over his border wall in a tweet: “I don’t care what the political ramifications are… and there is no way that the Democrats will allow it to be fixed without a Government Shutdown.”

However, a senior GOP official tells Jonathan Swan that the tweet was not “intended to signal a change in timing on the shutdown. The working understanding among senior staff is that he’ll wait until after the elections to have the shutdown fight.”
