Shutdown Day 11:Donald Trump rejects Democratic funding plan

(USAToday) WASHINGTON With no end of a partial shutdown in sight President Donald Trump rang in the new year Tuesday by denouncing a new Democratic plan to reopen the government because it lacks money for a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. The Democrats much as I suspected have allocated no money for a new Wall. So imaginative! Trump tweeted. The problem is without a Wall there can be no real Border Security - and our Country must finally have a Strong and Secure Southern Border! Democrats accused Trump of promoting the shutdown in its 11th day as well as a new year by insisting on an expensive wall that would do little or nothing to stop illegal border crossings. Trump has given Democrats a great opportunity to show how we will govern responsibly & quickly pass our plan to end the irresponsible #TrumpShutdown just the first sign of things to come in our new Democratic Majority committed to working #ForThePeople Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi tweeted in promoting her plan.
