Donald Trump delivers a high-stakes prime-time address Tuesday night, making the case to the nation, as he tweeted Monday, that there is a “Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border.” His remarks were followed by a televised joint response from Democratic leaders, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who adamantly oppose paying for a wall and are demanding Trump agree to re-open the government.

Unnecessary border wall??? Really!!!!! I believe your house Nancy those not have wall 😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸😎💪🏼… 2020 Trump
Yes to the wall!!! Bless this man!
President Trump is the best thing for the USA.
what does this have to do with craps
we should do the public vote: should we build or enhance the wall we have with taxpayer's dollar?
He fails to mention the real issue, non-violent killings.
It's funny how he was saying Mexico will pay for the wall and Mexico never did lol then baby trump gets mad and shuts down the government lol what a loser lol

Why do we have a government shutdown when the president is being investigated
we need a wall like trump needs a brain
and you trump are brain dead and anyone who belives you if you want a eall build it around your house than we will be safe
TRUMP A BITCH
I'm Canadian so my opinion on your president doesn't matter. So I've read, the U.S Government is partially shut down, until the other parties and American People agree with Trump' s wall, so no different then how Hitler, Castro and Hussain treated their people. If and when the wall is built, what white Supremacist group will build it, who will maintain it ? wouldn't this mean more boarder security would be required either way? How does one build a wall if Mexico decides not to allow Americans on their soil, a wall is not one sided, Does' t the gate swing both ways? – I don't disagree with boarder security – But it doesn't sound promising.
To the news room at ABC and most of the other mainstream media news outlets, and to the Democrats on Capitol Hill: What Trump is say is true, and you all know it! How you can sit there behind your news desk, or stand in front of the news cameras and lie through your teeth is beyond me. You only do this because you hate Trump and want him to fail! Well the People of this country who can see the truth know it is you who are failing this country! You would rather see illegals coming across the border and committing crimes against our people just so that Trump will be seen as a failure! Yet I have seen you saying a barrier at the border is needed, long before Trump became the President, and it is true that only when Trump won the election, you flipped your stance on this issue!
If you are denying that this wall will pay for itself by saving far more than its cost, you are not saying what you really believe! Hundreds of billions of dollars are being lost every day without this wall! You know it, I know it, and nearly everybody else knows it too! It is your two year old spoiled rotten temper tantrum that is speaking, as you stand there and lie to the American People! You are not fooling anybody with even half a brain! We know your true agenda, and we are sick of it!
Trump said he was going to Drain the Swamp of you corrupt politicians! Here's how it is likely to happen: You will continiue to act like spoiled rotten crybabies that can't get their way. We are and shall continue to watch you, as you act like that, obstructing what We, The People demand of you, which is to do the job we put you in your positions to do. You will continue to go against the wishes of your bosses; We, The People, and we will take a vote of no confidence against you! You will be removed from your undeserved positions for failure to do your job! We will hold a special election across the whole country to replace you with people who will do the job we want them to do! We will also take a vote to deny you any pension once you are ousted! Then against the worst of you there will be charges brought, for which you will have to answer by trial in a court of law! If and when you are convicted, you will be made to serve time in prison! It won't be a cushy prison for people of your so called status; rather it will be among the general population where you really belong!
This fiction you are pushing that a wall would be ineffective is proven by the fact that most of you filthy rich politicians who are saying this have walls around your own homes! If they are ineffective, why do you have those walls? There is only one reason you would have those walls, to secure your home and its occupants from attack! You cannot tell us this is not true; we know it is true!
So straighten up and stop acting like spoiled rotten babies! Grow up and do the job we entrusted you to do! Protect our country from ALL THREATS BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC! If you refuse to do so, you are not worthy to serve in the positions you hold!
Just because you say you're objective doesn't make you so.
President Trump remains focused on reality and doesn't let the Demonrats and their Medusa media distract him.
I thought Mexico was gonna pay for the wall did the republicans just conventiently forget about that?
Love Trump. Hate fake news.
Terrible coverage. Very biased. Networks used to be better even 10years ago. Coverage simply ignores the points that are inconvenient and exaggerates the ones that help the bias.
Aww the bloated non essential depts aren’t getting their checks right now. I haven’t noticed a difference honestly. Maybe they are a waste of money.?
I would like to know where he gets his numbers. How does he come up with 90%?
Picture obamas voice while shumer is speaking , scripted speech .
Skip to 13:50 to see the best ventriloquist dummy act ever before witnessed.
Yeah, and more lives will be lost if we dont address Americas gun issue and input gun control, so where was is attitude when are kids are getting shot down in school?
ABC is fake news. God bless our President!
If you bring a child to the border it's just wrong.
Mr Shutdown
Mexico will end up paying by not having drugs, human trafficking, and illegals pouring into our country. Wake up. https://youtu.be/Ws679mklmIk
It's official drumfp is a nice big fat orange bitch!
THANK GOODNESS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP! LOVE IT!..
AND PLEASE SHUT DOWN THE MILITARILY ARMED MURDERERS AND THIEVES OF THE T.S.A., BLM, EPA, BATF, DEA, FBI AND KEEP THEM SHUT DOWN!…. FOREVER!…
(BLINK MUCH SCHUMER?)
democrats just need to give him the wall he is trying to help our people we have families here that need help why would we want to let these foreign people keep bringing drugs and selling children that are being stolen GIVE HIM THE WALL !!!!!!!!! WE THE PEOPLE WANT THE WALL
All I’m hearing is that trump is holding the government hostage until he gets his 5.7 billion but what if the reason the government is shut down is to raise the money without anyone realizing it I normally am for trump but this is ridiculous
Pelosi and Shumer speak to us like we are children. Absolutely sickening.
"If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor…" That president gave money to an active combatant country. Trump is protecting this country. If we have to pay for the wall than we will be money ahead because we won't have to pay for all the illegal immigrants welfare.
Seems a little like fear mongering. Also wasn’t the country colonised by illegal immigrants? How the tables have turned! Now you know how the natives felt
Bullshit
Trump wall does nothing but cost 5 billion dollars.
They should build a wall around trump instead
I understand if you want to be hear do it the legally but on the other hand this is a voting country ask the people if thay want it dount have a tanshum and shut down the government and not think of the family's kids and even hard working people that pay your paycheck and effect every one
The first duty of president of USA is to ensure safety and security of its citizens
The first duty of senators and representatives is to take people problems to Congress
