Recognizing that Democrats in Congress keep looking for an excuse to precipitate a government shutdown on Friday, President Donald Trump has decided to defer funding for the Mexico border wall until the fall.
In order to keep the government funded and running, Congress must pass a temporary spending bill by Friday. While President Trump was hoping to get funding to start construction of the wall, he realized that the Democrats would use the funding as an excuse to block the legislation and shut down the government.

Any excuse those lazy liberal democrats can get to not have to work.
If they shut down they should lose pay
Truth is lot people look for there check every month that has been worked hard for.
What the Hell. This has nothing to do with the Democrats. It is own cabinet that bares this distinction.
This is very different then when the Republicans shut down the government.
Republicans did it as a strong arm tactics. Short memories or hypocrisy?
Obviously you are an obstructionist. Trump will build the wall and you will whine all the way.
We are going to build the wall, that is what.
I agree that he’s caving, if he gives in. I will distrust him from then on.
Lameass thing is the government shutdown hurts We The People, NOT these career politicians. I respect our President for looking out for our legal citizens, that is something all too many of our elected officials apparently cannot be bothered to do.
Tammy Wells no I won’t ill cheer and dance happy all around,but the facts are what they are.hes a totally ineffective president that has been stopped at every turn.the wall,the travel ban,health care etc.etc.its going to be a wasted long 4 years if he doesn’t find a new way to reign in these rogue liberal judges.
He’s compromising like an intelligent leader should.
He’s putting the welfare of the American people first
