President Donald Trump on Sunday accused Democrats of ‘having fun’ while he is in the White House waiting to make a deal to end the government shutdown.
‘I’m in the White House, waiting. The Democrats are everywhere but Washington as people await their pay. They are having fun and not even talking!,’ he tweeted on a snowy Sunday morning in Washington D.C.
Congress left the city on Friday with some lawmakers going back to their home states for the weekend and others – including new Speaker Nancy Pelosi – traveling to Puerto Rico for a conference and to see Lin-Manuel Miranda in ‘Hamilton.’
Lawmakers are scheduled to return to Capitol Hill on Monday although it’s unclear if that will be affected by the weather. None of the votes scheduled in the House or Senate for Monday evening deal with reopening the government.
The Capitol city received four to eight inches of snow overnight with the flakes still falling on Sunday as Trump went on Twitter storm of his own.
The president touted his readiness to make a deal and argued his border wall would bring down crime. He also got slammed Democrats on Dreamers – the illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. children by their parents – and said their actions would bring Hispanics to his side.
‘The building of the Wall on the Southern Border will bring down the crime rate throughout the entire Country!,’ he wrote on Day 23 of the shutdown.
‘The damage done to our Country from a badly broken Border – Drugs, Crime and so much that is bad – is far greater than a Shutdown, which the Dems can easily fix as soon as they come back to Washington!,’ he tweeted.
As part of the talks to reopen the government, some Republicans have pushed a plan that would fund Trump’s border wall and give benefits to those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in return.
‘Democrats are saying that DACA is not worth it and don’t want to include in talks. Many Hispanics will be coming over to the Republican side, watch!,’ Trump accused his opposition.
