WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is facing scathing criticism from conservative supporters after backing away from his threat to shut down the government over border wall funding, with some aggressively lobbying the president against signing a short-term deal with no wall dollars.
Trump has not said if he will support a temporary funding measure approved by the Senate, though his White House has made clear it will review whatever can pass Congress. Urging him to veto, Trump’s critics argue he will have even less leverage when Democrats take control of the House on Jan. 3, and they worry that the unfilled pledge for a U.S.-Mexico border wall could hamper his re-election campaign.

I believe you meant: cavalry.
honestly, if he does not get the wall done..
he’ll be a one termer..
Mr Trump, shut it down.
We all know what he meant.
I don’t know what Trump is going to do here. But it does seem like a pivotal time for his presidency. I hope he holds out for at least $5B for the wall.
Well, there’s 2years squandered now.
Now OFFICIALLY squandered.
Maybe not, maybe he meant crucifixion.
Support Trump in building the wall and SHUT IT DOWN IF NECESSARY. The democrats are anti everything Trump does. Stand and fight and support Trump.
Nothing is being done on border security and the invasion by hordes of illegal aliens. We still have the Diversity VISA Lottery fer cryin’ out loud!
Build the Wall. Shut ‘er down!
If he's a one termer I hope he goes full scored earth before he leaves. Expose every rotten secret of every rotten politician on both sides of the aisle. The country is screwed anyway if it gets to that point so I hope he takes everybody in DC down with him.
elected republicans for the most part are anti everything trump does too
You don’t know that
Stop parroting DNC talking points
You are right. it is an assumption based on history..
The wall is trump’s no new taxes pledge
You want the wall?
Put in the wall bill that protects Mueller from Trump firing him.......
If it doesn’t pass, Mueller is instantly fired
Watch the Dems freak out
Make them chose for once
I'd be happy with the $1.8b (whatever the GOP number was) for a physical wall and several gun emplacements.
that might be a fair trade off.. ;)
Really? The wall is only a small part of what is going on.
No its not
Again, you are parroting DNC talkpoints
stop listening to them
Support this man, he has done 50x better things for us then any of the Bushes ever had
And Bush Sr. lost because he did not take Clinton and Perot seriously. Its true, look it up. Read my lips had nothing to do with it. Just like If you like your doctor you can keep it should have killed off Obama in 2012 but didn’t
Again, stop parroting the crap the MSM and DNC want you to believe. Use your head
In the decades leading up to Trump, the con-servatives did nothing and were nowhere to be seen.
