Trump Lashes Out After Schumer Withdraws Offer On Border Wall

In a late-night tweet, President Trump on Tuesday ratcheted up taunts aimed at Democrats over the short-lived government shutdown, reiterating his insistence that there can be no fix on DACA without funding for his border wall.

"Cryin' Chuck Schumer fully understands, especially after his humiliating defeat, that if there is no Wall, there is no DACA," the president tweeted, referring to what he earlier described as how the Democrats "caved" on the shutdown.

The response should be some derisive version of get your stinking funding from Mexico like you promised the American people.

The Fucking Moron turned down Schumer's offer which included the wall during the Shutdown. Why didn't he accept it then? Stephen Miller did the talking for him while he stayed out of the negotiations last weekend.

He could just return DACA to back to its origins.

DACA is only an issue because he violated the Tarzan principal. (ie don't let go of the old vine until you have a grip on the new one.)

"fill in your nickname" Trump fully understands that Mexico will pay for the wall. Why is he asking us to pay for it? Your friend, Chuck.
