Donald Trump went on a morning Twitter rant against media bias and Democrats who refuse to solve the border wall problem as the government shutdown breaks the record as the longest in history.<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s anger was provoked by what he described as \u201ca fake reporter from the Amazon Washington Post,\u201d<\/em> who claimed that the White House was \u201cchaotic\u201d<\/em> and lacked any plan for the shutdown.<\/p>\n I just watched a Fake reporter from the Amazon Washington Post say the White House is \u201cchaotic, there does not seem to be a strategy for this Shutdown. There is no plan.\u201d The Fakes always like talking Chaos, there is NONE. In fact, there\u2019s almost nobody in the W.H. but me, and…<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n He denied this allegation and insisted that the White House couldn\u2019t be in chaos due to the fact that \u201cthere\u2019s almost nobody in the W.H. but me, and I do have a plan on the Shutdown.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ….I do have a plan on the Shutdown. But to understand that plan you would have to understand the fact that I won the election, and I promised safety and security for the American people. Part of that promise was a Wall at the Southern Border. Elections have consequences!<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n Trump reminded that building a wall on the Mexican border was one of his main campaign promises. He said that the ball was in the court of his political opponents, warning that \u201cwe will be out for a long time unless the Democrats come back from their \u2018vacations\u2019 and get back to work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n We have a massive Humanitarian Crisis at our Southern Border. We will be out for a long time unless the Democrats come back from their \u201cvacations\u201d and get back to work. I am in the White House ready to sign!<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n The shutdown began on December 22, after Senate Democrats refused to vote on the appropriations bill giving $5.6 billion towards the construction of a barrier on the US-Mexico border that was approved by the Republican-majority House of Representatives. Democrats took over the House on January 3, and refuse to include money for the wall in the funding bills.<\/p>\n Neither of the sides seem willing to budge, yet Trump is also unwilling<\/a> to resort to declaring a national emergency and use the Pentagon slush fund to build the wall. Some 800,000 federal workers have been affected by the ongoing partial shutdown, missing their paycheck on Friday.<\/p>\n\n
