On Tuesday, POTUS threatened to shut down the government at the end of December if Democrats don’t approve his funding request for the wall. As a result, it’ll become increasingly important in the coming weeks to know how to call Congress about Trump’s border wall if you oppose it. Since Republicans will lose control of the House in the new year, it’s possible they’ll try to push a bill through in the last minutes of 2018.
On Tuesday, Trump met Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in a televised conversation in the Oval Office with the goal of coming to terms on a budget agreement. It didn’t exactly go as planned.
Instead, an on-camera shouting match between the parties unfolded, The Washington Post reports, during which Pelosi and Schumer repeatedly asked POTUS to take the conversation behind closed doors. In response, he insisted that he would force a government shutdown if Democrats didn’t acquiesce to his request of funding for the wall.
