Trump Threatens a Shutdown That Will 'Last for a Very Long Time'

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/12/21/us/politics/trump-shutdown-border-wall.amp.html

The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!

If refuses to sign or veto the current bill, without wall funding, passed by both chambers it becomes law automatically after 10 days.

If he vetos it then that sets up the option to for congressional override which I suspect will happen if things got ugly.
