‘Israel’s wall works 99.9%’: Trump says shutdown only about Democrats not letting him win
US President Donald Trump is accusing the Democrats of opposing funding for a border wall only to deny him and the Republican party a policy victory. Walls work, Trump says, pointing to the case of Israel.
“This isn’t about the Wall,” Trump tweeted on Thursday evening, back in Washington after visiting troops in Iraq and Germany as the government shutdown extends beyond Christmas holidays, adding that “everybody knows that a Wall will work perfectly (In Israel the Wall works 99.9%).”
“This is only about the [Democrats] not letting Donald Trump [and] the Republicans have a win,” the president argued. “They may have the 10 Senate votes, but we have the issue, Border Security. 2020!”
