Pelosi: No wall money, period. Trump: 'Stop playing political games!'

Democrat unveiled their border security plan, totaling almost $22 billion for the customs service, border patrol and immigration agents.



WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday hardened their positions about a border wall, casting doubt on the prospects of Capitol Hill negotiations intended to reach a compromise and avoid a second government shutdown.

"There's not going to be any wall money in the legislation," Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters. Her remarks came after Democrats had signaled at least some flexibility in the talks on border security funding that began only Wednesday.

Pelosi's stance came as Trump used Twitter to reiterate his demands on the wall and appeared to sour on the congressional talks aimed at striking a deal with Democrats. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Pelosi is "just playing games" and repeated his threat to declare a national emergency and transfer billions of dollars in previously allocated funds to build the wall.

6. No fn money for fencing or fence upgrades either. The grifter is trying to...

infer that anything done on the border is "wall" so he can proclaim victory.

The cultists are already saying he won because she is considering infrastructure.

7. A tip for you, Donald

Pelosi isn't playing. You're not getting any money for your stupid wall from this Congress. The sooner you come to grips with that fact, the happier you'll be. But I suspect you prefer to be miserable.
