Trump Again Threatens To Shut Down His Own Government Over Wall Funding
“I would be willing to ‘shut down’ government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security,” he tweeted.
President Donald Trump on Sunday embraced shutting down the federal government if Democrats do not agree to fund his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as other hardline immigration-related provisions.
Trump’s tweet came just days after his meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who on Wednesday pitched the president on a strategy intended to minimize the threat of a shutdown over the border wall, which Democrats stringently oppose.
Trump seemed “receptive” to the idea of delaying a fight over the wall ― long the cornerstone of his political agenda ― past the Sept. 30 government funding deadline and after the November midterm elections, according to Politico. But his tweet ― as well as similar threats he has made in the past ― indicates he’s spoiling for a fight over the issue and willing to risk Republican prospects in the midterm elections over it.
Building the wall remains one of Trump’s biggest unfulfilled promises. It’s an issue that resonates with his supporters ― one that could drive them to the polls in November. And Trump’s tweet makes clear he would seek to blame Democrats for an impasse over the wall that blocks funding for the government beyond Sept. 30.
But with the GOP controlling both houses of Congress, a government shutdown could also spark a backlash against the party, as has been the case in previous budget standoffs.

And Mexico has agreed to pay for the wall , it will have a beautiful big door with gold trimmings.

Yemeni-American Commits Suicide After Trump Travel Ban Bars His Family
Tragic death underscores the toll of harsh immigration policies.
A Yemeni-American father killed himself earlier this month after his family was barred from entering the country by the Trump administration’s travel ban.
U.S. citizen Mahmood Salem, a father of five, fatally shot himself on July 18 at his apartment in Louisiana after saying goodbye to his family on the phone, NBC News reported Saturday.
Salem’s three youngest children are also American citizens, but his wife and two oldest kids were denied visas to join him because of President Donald Trump’s travel ban. They were living in Djibouti in Africa when they got Salem’s call and frantically reached out to a friend for help, according to NBC. The friend found Salem, 31, dead in the home in Crowley.
Mimun Salem, who lives in Michigan, blamed the immigration impediment for his younger brother’s death.
“I’ll say it’s the first and main reason. I could give it 90 percent,” he told NBC. “He cannot bring them here and at the same time, he cannot take them back to Yemen” because of the war ravaging that country.
There are thousands of Yemeni immigrants, many of them American citizens, who have been separated by family members due to the travel ban that bars people from seven predominantly Muslim nations. The Supreme Court upheld the ban last month.
The ban and Salem’s death is part of a broader picture of the toll of harsh immigration policies by the Trump administration. After a series of four suicides by immigrants late last year and early this year in Baltimore following raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the city, researchers at Johns Hopkins University began to gather data on immigrant suicide.
“Stress and depression in the immigrant community have always been there, but it is heightened now,” Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Rheanna Platt told The Pew Center’s Stateline. “I see more children being very distressed about the possibility that a parent will be deported.”
Donald Trump Promised Dirt On Clinton 2 Days Before Trump Tower Meeting
He touted special speech that didn’t happen after Trump Tower meeting was a bust.
Candidate Donald Trump vowed to expose dirt on his political opponents Bill and Hillary Clinton just two days before the controversial 2016 Trump Tower meeting that his former lawyer Michael Cohen insisted Trump knew about.
Trump never delivered on his promise after his eldest son Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner and then campaign manager Paul Manafort met with attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in 2016. The men expected to be presented with damaging information about Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but the attorney failed to deliver, Donald Trump Jr. told Senate investigators.
His father’s promised speech on the Clintons then sank without a trace.
Trump railed against Hillary Clinton to supporters after he won the New Jersey primary that same week. “I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week and we’re going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons,” he told them. “I think you’re going to find it very informative and very, very interesting.” (He announced the Clinton speech in the video above at 7:08)
Donald Jr.′s meeting with Veselnitskaya took place two days later on Thursday, June 9. His father’s promised June 13 speech never occurred, and no explanation was ever offered.
Trump has denied knowing about the Trump Tower meeting in advance.
Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg also told CNN’s Jake Tapper earlier this year that Trump knew about the meeting. “He talked about it a week before,” Nunberg added.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon suspected the same thing. “The chance that Don Jr. did not walk these Jumos up to his father’s office on the 26th floor is zero,” he told author Michael Wolff in his book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Bannon has called the meeting “treasonous.”
