Trump: Dems Are Powerless With Their Far-Left Base

The Washington Examiner reports:



President Trump blamed Democratic lawmakers on the third day of the government shutdown for placing noncitizens’ demands over the needs of Americans. The partial government shutdown started midnight Saturday following Republicans and Democrats’ inability to compromise on when they would vote on a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals bill.

Democrats wanted DACA legislation included in a stop-gap spending bill, but the majority of conservatives do not want immigration reforms thrown into the continuing resolution, and say more time is needed to negotiate in either case.
