Trump threatens government shutdown if America doesn't pay for his wall

What do Trump supporters have to say about this?

Trump said Mexico will pay. Now he says America must pay or he'll shut down the government. Another broken promise by Trump with severe consequences.

Ryan warns Trump not to shut down government over border security funding

Speaker Paul Ryan Wednesday rejected a threat by President Donald Trump to shut down the government to force Congress to approve funding for a border wall with Mexico.

"I don't think a government shutdown is necessary and I don't think most people want to see a government shutdown, ourselves included," the leader of the Republican-controlled House said at a news conference in Oregon where he was promoting tax reform.

Ryan argued the House had already passed funding for border security but that the narrowly divided Senate -- where Democrats have considerably more sway over what gets into funding bills -- would need more time to act.
