Trump Threatens to Shutdown Government if No $ for his Border Wall

Yes. And also, yes.

It's a very simplistic solution that appeals to his base and allows Trump businesses to continue to hire illegals, all while preventing federal employees from doing their jobs and getting paid. Win, Win, Win for Trump and his base. So much winning.

The shutdown is already causing major problems at national parks despite efforts by states and private groups to offset the loss of federal funding.

A pileup of trash and dirty toilets during the shutdown has drawn intense concern at Joshua Tree National Park in California. December is historically one of the park’s busiest months — last year, 284,398 people visited Joshua Tree in December. Visitors are still being allowed into the park, but there are no federally funded services being provided, including maintenance.

Sorry but visitors shouldn’t be allowed in if there aren’t bathrooms. I don’t want human pee everywhere.

And who will keep them out Einstein? Trump has shutdown “nonessential government.”

Has Trump watched it? Since he seems to be fond of hiring illegals at his golf courses.

Remember, you're only against illegal immigration.

Trump is digging in on his unpopular shutdown and stewing alone in the Oval. Hope he doesn’t decide to bomb some poor country as a distraction.

The television is on. The phone is never far away. And President Trump is repeatedly calling allies such as members of Congress and conservative radio hosts, telling them privately that he will not give in on his demand for funding for a border wall.

What the president who campaigned on his ability to cut deals has not done, nine days into a partial government shutdown over his signature campaign issue, is reach out to Democratic congressional leaders to strike one.

Virtually alone in the West Wing since the shutdown began, Mr. Trump has instead taken to Twitter to excoriate Democrats, and highlight that he canceled his own vacation to his private club in Florida while lawmakers left the city. He has lamented the negativity of the news media coverage, which has included repeated airings of Mr. Trump’s declaration in the Oval Office that he would not blame Democrats for a shutdown, according to people familiar with his thinking.

You would think the adult daycare staff would be classified as as essential.
