Trump to Congress: Fund the Wall or I’ll Shut the Government https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/23/us/politics/trump-wall-flake.html?mcubz=0 WASHINGTON — President Trump issued an extraordinary challenge to his own party late Tuesday, threatening to shut down the government in a matter of weeks if Congress did not fund a wall on the southern border that was a signature promise of his campaign for the White House. On Tuesday night, he told a rowdy crowd in Phoenix, “If we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall.” “We’re going to have our wall,” he added. “The American people voted for immigration control. We’re going to get that wall.” His campaign promise stressed that Mexico would pay for the border barrier, but that part of the promise seems to have dropped away.
....the one that totally alienates him from Congress, and effectively ends his ability to initiate legislation?
maybe congress'll ignore Trump and form a repub/dem coalition,.. I couldn't even type that with a straight face
