5 times the President Trump Blatantly admitted to the very thing he was being criticized for.

Let's see if that happens. That will be next. Yes, sir.”
When he said he’d shut down the government over the border wall. In a combative Oval Office meeting that previewed what a divided government may look like, President Trump sparred with Democratic leaders and said he’d be “proud” to shut down the government later this month unless Congress provides taxpayer money to build his long-promised border wall with Mexico.
