Trump Speaks After Threatening To Keep Government Closed "For Months Or years"

Discussing the border wall, Trump said "We're not playing games, we have to do it."

“We’re not playing games. We have to do it,” Trump said of the wall, adding it’s vital to “national security”

The President added "I think we'll have to build a steel wall instead of a concrete one ... although steel is more expensive."

Trump admits that a steel wall would be more expensive than a non-steel wall, but he says he probably wants to do a steel wall "because I really feel the other side feels better about it." (The other side does not feel substantially better about it.)

Trump just claimed that former PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES have privately told him that he's doing things they should have done re: the border. Seems highly unlikely this ever happened and should be pretty easy to verify.

President Trump confirmed that he said the shutdown could last for months or years.

Good for you Mr President! stick to your guns, SCREW THE DEMOCRATS!
