Trump, Dems dig in over shutdown

Trump is digging in ahead of the deadline for a partial government shutdown that looks more likely with each passing day.

No signs of a possible compromise emerged from the White House Monday as Trump attacked Democrats for being weak on border security.

Republican lawmakers are in a dismal mood, believing their party will get blamed for the shutdown. But Trump showed little sign of being worried.

“Anytime you hear a Democrat saying that you can have good Border Security without a Wall, write them off as just another politician following the party line. Time for us to save billions of dollars a year and have, at the same time, far greater safety and control!” he tweeted Monday morning.

Ya think? Republicans hold the White House, the Senate, and the House. That means that if the government shuts down, there is one and only one party responsible. I can't understand why any media outlets (other than Fox) are pretending otherwise.

It should have read, " Democrats stand their ground as Trump digs in."

But, it's the Hill.
