Trump angrily lashes out at Democrats in Twitter tirade as they ignore his demands for wall funding

On Thursday, as the government shutdown continued, leaving thousands of federal workers without pay over the holidays, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to blame Democrats.

"The Democrats OBSTRUCTION of the desperately needed Wall, where they almost all recently agreed it should be built, is exceeded only by their OBSTRUCTION of 350 great people wanting & expecting to come into Government after being delayed for more than two years, a U.S. record!" the President exclaimed.

The President went on to slam the 9th Circuit's court decision on DACA.

"The reason the DACA for Wall deal didn’t get done was that a ridiculous court decision from the 9th Circuit allowed DACA to remain, thereby setting up a Supreme Court case," he wrote.

"After ruling, Dems dropped deal - and that’s where we are today, Democrat obstruction of the needed Wall."

The President previously promised his base that Mexico would pay for a wall on the Southwest border.
