Democrats have repeatedly admitted their shutdown is INTENTIONAL, and they are using hardworking American families as “leverage.” Chuck Schumer boasts that “every day of the shutdown gets better for us.” To President Trump’s GREAT CREDIT, he is doing everything possible to protect families and keep vital services running. This is a difficult time for millions of Americans — and history will show CLEARLY the Democrats imposed this pain, but the Republicans fought to end it.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’” This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN! Even Republicans are acknowledging it.
