New reports indicate that members of Congress are increasingly more at odds with the White House regarding funding for President Donald Trump’s Southern border wall, or lack thereof.

News Regarding Discord Over the Border Wall

At this time, the White House and Democrats in the Senate remain staunchly divided. The Trump administration is urging members of Congress to approve funding for the president’s promised border wall in order to halt unlawful immigration into the United States.

However, Senate Democrats are not going along with said advisements. As a matter of fact, Chuck Schumer, the current Senate Minority Leader, stated that the commander-in-chief maintains the right to “throw a temper tantrum.”

“If President Trump wants to throw a temper tantrum and shut down some departments and agencies over Christmas, that’s certainly within his power.”

Now, the White House is pushing back. They claim that Schumer is to blame for government shutdowns.

“Another Schumer shutdown would not surprise anyone, it [is] the new norm in Washington.”
