Well, you guys may have tried to tie the Dems to the last government shutdown that only lasted 2 days, but now, if the government shuts down again (and it may), Trump is the one who is responsible for it.
Seems that if Trump doesn't get everything he wants on immigration, he's willing to shut down the government in comments he made today.
Trump threatens government shutdown if Congress doesn't fix immigration laws
WASHINGTON – President Trump said Tuesday he would shut down the government if Congress doesn't fix an immigration system that doesn't allow the government to deport criminal gang members.
"If we don’t change it, let’s have a shutdown. It’s worth it for our country. I'd love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this taken care of," Trump said Tuesday as he met with law enforcement officials at the White House to discuss the threat of the MS-13 gang.
If Democrats don't want to close loopholes that allow gang members to illegally enter and remain in the country, he said, "Then shut it down."
Trump's comments came just four days before Congress faces another deadline to pass a spending bill or shut down the government. The last spending impasse was resolved only after Democrats extracted a promise that Trump and Republicans would negotiate a solution to immigrants who arrived in the United States as children.
