The White House maintained Friday night that President Trump will "move forward" with plans to build a border wall "with or without the Democrats" if no funding is offered before a deadline next month.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued the warning Friday night on Twitter while defending Trump amid backlash from conservatives over his decision to reopen the government without securing funding for a border wall.
In 21 days President @realDonaldTrump is moving forward building the wall with or without the Democrats. The only outstanding question is whether the Democrats want something or nothing, Sanders wrote.

Sanders posted the remark after Trump tweeted Friday night insisting that the deal he announced earlier in the day to fully reopen the federal government for three weeks was in no way a concession.
The statement came just hours after Trump said he would sign a short-term funding bill to reopen the government without funds to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

(13,096 posts)Trump would not be allowed to spend it without approval from Congress.
The money would belong to the US Treasury and would have to be allocated.

(10,252 posts)Now the MSmedia will get in a tizzy about whether he'l pull the trigger and declare an emergency and shut the gov down again. He's stupid enough to do it. And the MSMedia is stupid enough to fall for it. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Republican haven't named folks to the intelligence or ethics committees to prevent them from having enough committee members to do their work and give transcripts to Mueller.
We really have got to vote those fuckers out. Hope Pelosi can change the rules.
