Trump: No Money for Wall, No Signature on Bill to Fund Government
House Democrats plan to vote on package later this week

President Donald Trump on Monday evening signaled he would not sign an omnibus spending package House Democrats plan to bring to the floor later this week because it omits dollars for his proposed southern border barrier.
“The Democrats will probably submit a Bill, being cute as always, which gives everything away but gives NOTHING to Border Security, namely the Wall. You see, without the Wall there can be no Border Security — the Tech “stuff” is just, by comparison, meaningless bells & whistles,” he tweeted.
The incoming House Democratic majority plans to vote on a package that would fully fund all other currently shuttered agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year and reopen the Department of Homeland Security until early February — but with no new dollars for a border barrier.
Trump on Monday evening equated border-sealing walls to the wheel, one of mankind’s most important inventions.
“Throughout the ages some things NEVER get better and NEVER change. You have Walls and you have Wheels. It was ALWAYS that way and it will ALWAYS be that way! Please explain to the Democrats that there can NEVER be a replacement for a good old fashioned WALL!” he tweeted.
The president’s rejection of the House Democrats’ package would mean Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would likely not bring it to a vote. The Kentucky Republican has said there is no point in his chamber holding votes on any shutdown-ending package Trump would not sign.
