We are now *checks watch* close to one day since the government partially shut down, which stems from a bitter fight between lawmakers regarding funding for President Trump’s long-promised wall along the U. S. southern border. While the president has warned of a „very long“ shut down if he isn’t given the billions of dollars he wants for the proposed wall, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told Trump that the only way to end the shut down is by abandoning his wall. So get cozy and settle in, because this might take a while. Elite Daily reached out to Schumer’s representatives and the White House for comment on the remark, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Speaking almost directly to Trump during a Senate floor speech on Dec. 22, Schumer blasted him for a „destructive two-week temper tantrum“ that led to a partial shut down over an „expensive and ineffective“ border wall.
