Shutdowns are not a new thing - we have had them all through history. The government does a partial shutdown every weekend. From Associated Press:
Shutdown due at midnight after lawmakers fail to reach deal
White House negotiators left the Capitol late Friday, and the House and Senate adjourned without a spending deal, all but ensuring a partial government shutdown at midnight with President Donald Trump demanding billions of dollars for his long-promised Mexican border wall.
Trump’s top envoys were straining to broker a last-minute compromise with Democrats and some of their own Republican Party’s lawmakers. But Vice President Mike Pence, incoming White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and senior adviser Jared Kushner departed after hours spent dashing back and forth, with no outward signs of an agreement.
Hey - Associated Press. Your bias is showing. President Trump campaigned on draining the swamp and building a border wall. He was swept into office by the majority of We The People. It is not Trump's long-promised Mexican border wall, it is the border wall that we want. Us. The Normals.
I hope that Schumer et. al. blink first. Trump needs to stand strong on this.
