Senate Republicans are warning President Trump against his demand to include funding for his immigration priorities in a must-pass spending bill in September as the president reiterated Monday that he is willing to shut down the government.
The president said during a press conference with the Italian prime minister that he has no "red line" in negotiations, including the $25 billion for wall funding, but said he would have "no problem" with a shutdown if he is unhappy with what Congress sends him. Republicans said Monday that they still remain optimistic that the government will not shut down at the end of September, but acknowledge that Trump's decision to weigh in has thrown a wrench into talks.
“I was a little bit surprised when he brought it back up again, but I know it’s really a burr under his saddle," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “The president negotiates in his own unique fashion and I assume that that’s part of what’s going on here, but there’s no interest in shutting down the government."

Give him money for the wall and border security. It’s that simple.
The President should tell McConnell to “Get back in your shell!” in so many words...
these senate GOP-e’s are disgusting, absolutely disgusting
You clowns in the Senate should give it a try for once instead of crying.
I got a word that rhymes with luck followed by ‘em
They were surprised he brought it up again?
These people are so out of touch.
Tell Congress that the money is for Iran and spend it on the wall.
Why should we believe the Republicans will fund a wall after we vote for them?
They don't listen and are thick headed.
It’s OUR MONEY!!! WE WANT IT!!! GIVE US THE MONEY FOR OUR PROTECTION!!!! WE PUT HIM IN OFFICE FOR A REASON, MAINLY “THE WALL!!!”
Bob Corker would run over someone in the Senate to vote for that bill.
(Giving more money to Iran)
...Why should we believe the Republicans will fund a wall after we vote for them?...
We shouldn’t. Their record if lying is monumental.
You’d think the GOPe WANTS to lose the House and Senate.
(Actually, I do seriously believe they are more comfortable in the minority.)
Same ol RINO bastards. CRUSH THEM!! We have a rally in Florida tomorrow night and we are going to ROCK AND SOCK!! SHUT DOWN NONESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT FOREVER!!! We will Get it on like Donkey Kong!! Why don’t some of you antifa communists bastard show up so we can punch your mask covered teeth down your throats. Go TRUMP!!
The Bush League Republicans are still committed to the Bush Plan for North Mexico.
The last thing they want is to enable real border security or enforcement.
The Republican members of the senate are not worth a warm pitcher of spit.
....and I am not the first person to reach that conclusion.
Aren’t these idiots proposing another continuing resolution (regardless of the wall issue)? And didn’t Trump say the last time he signed a CR that this would be the last time - bring me a budget or else!
They don't listen and are thick headed.
No, they are used to GOPe presidents like the Bushes who’s attitude is ‘Oh well, I tried'. Let’s move on to something else.
