So you agree that by not signing the spending bill Drumpf not only shut down the government but he also warned everyone in advance that this was his intentions?Correct, otherwise meaning that if a consensus couldn't be reached on a bill that funds the wall and government, then of course the government can't run without a budget set for it to run, so off went the lights as the stand off between the demon-crats and the American people represented by Trump continues.Trump didn't shut the gov't down. He didn't get his money for the wall and so he didn't sign the legislation. He can only sign what comes across his desk. The congress didn't pass a bill with the necessary wall funding so it died.
The president doesn't have the power to "shut the gov't down."
Youre wrong again.....
“And I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it.”
