Donald Trump promised that Mexico would pay for his wall. Is he not a man of his word?
Tell us what Trump is doing, don't make up crap, tell us what you saw with your own eyes.
He plans to shut down government unless he gets funding for his wall, which will never happen. Now why did you lie about Obama shutting down government?
Obama shut down Government Oct 1-Oct 16, 2013. Want some more?

A "funding-gap" was created when the two chambers of Congress failed to agree to an appropriations continuing resolution. The
Republican-led
House of Representatives, in part encouraged by conservative senators such as
Ted Cruz[5] and conservative groups such as
Heritage Action,
[6][7][8] offered several continuing resolutions with language delaying or defunding the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as "Obamacare"). The
Democratic-led
Senate passed several amended continuing resolutions for maintaining funding at then-current
sequestration levels with no additional conditions. Political fights over this and other issues between the House on one side and President
Barack Obama and the Senate on the other led to a budget impasse which threatened massive disruption.
[9][10][11]
The deadlock centered on the
Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2014, which was passed by the House of Representatives on September 20, 2013.
[12] The Senate stripped the bill of the measures related to the Affordable Care Act, and passed it in revised form on September 27, 2013.
[12] The House reinstated the Senate-removed measures, and passed it again in the early morning hours on September 29.
[12] The Senate declined to pass the bill with measures to delay the Affordable Care Act, and the two legislative houses did not develop a compromise bill by the end of September 30, 2013, causing the federal government to shut down due to a lack of appropriated funds at the start of the new
2014 federal fiscal year. Also, on October 1, 2013, many aspects of the Affordable Care Act implementation took effect.
[13] The
health insurance exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act launched as scheduled on October 1.
[14] Much of the Affordable Care Act is funded by previously authorized and mandatory spending, rather than discretionary spending, and the presence or lack of a continuing resolution did not affect it. Some of the law's funds also come from multiple-year and "no-year" discretionary funds that are not affected by a lack of a continuing resolution.
[15] Late in the evening of October 16, 2013, Congress passed the
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014, and the President signed it shortly after midnight on October 17, ending the government shutdown and suspending the
debt limit until February 7, 2014.

According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted several months following the shutdown, 81% of Americans disapproved of the shutdown, 86% felt it had damaged the United States' image in the world, and 53% held Republicans in Congress accountable for the shutdown.[17]
Yes, Hoss, let us look at that shutdown.
