BREAKING NEWS: Trump in public Oval Office shouting match with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as he threatens to shut down the government to get his wall built - and they call him a 'Pinocchio' and tell him: 'Elections have consequences'

Congress and the president must agree on a federal funding proposal by Dec. 21

Trump wants $5 billion to fund his border wall and had Washington worried he would engineer a partial shut down of the government if he doesn't get it

Democrats are offering him $1.6 billion that can be used on fencing not concrete

He indicated Tuesday that he had a new strategy: have the military build the wall

Democratic senators warned just yesterday that the military does not have the authority to use defense funds to build border barriers on a bombing range in AZ

Trump fired off tweets that cast immigrants as disease-carrying lawbreakers hours before Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were due at the White House

Donald Trump's negotiating session with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer spiraled wildly out of control on Tuesday, with the politicians viciously tearing into the president in plain view of reporters.

Pelosi informed him that his border wall wouldn't pass in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a majority of seats, if it came for a vote.

If money’s an issue, Trump should just crowd fund the damn thing.

Well kinda didn’t think they’d be very agreeable. Their hate is clearly on display. So, two years of nothing happening I guess.

The Republicans in congress should have been confronting Democrats just like this for a long time but they are too weak, passive and unprinicpled to do it.

Two more years. We already had two years of GOP control with nothing happening.

I agree
Oh and by the way, elections have consequences and Trump was elected to build a border wall

Yep, and request volunteer workers and equipment. The damned wall would be up in less than a year.

Yep. Get even more illegals into the country to vote or be counted as part of ballot harvesting, which will expand beyond California the next two years.

I hate to break it to you, but Fedzilla does NOT shut down. The parts deemed “essential”, which is (snort) most of it, keep right on running.

But by all means, Trump should call the uniparty’s bluff. And allow the American public to learn an excellent object lesson in the mean time.

No. The Repuglicans in congress AGREE with the dims. They’re all bought off by the same lobbyists.

Exactly. Who was fighting to defend the border before Trump?

Maybe not with MILCON, but OMA is another story if the cost could come in under the minor construction caps.

Awesome idea, but he may need Congressional approval to float those.
