President Trump threatened that a government shutdown would last “for a very long time” if Congress does not meet his demand for billions in funding for his long-promised border wall, the Washington Post reports.
“In a spate of morning tweets, Trump sought to pin blame on Democrats for a potential shutdown even though he said last week that he would proudly own one if lawmakers did not provide at least $5 billion toward his marquee campaign promise.”
Axios notes Trump tweeted that it would be a “Democrat Shutdown” despite saying last week that he would be “proud to shut down the government.”
