the Democrats approve his wall

The republicans own this, NOT the Democrats

"Breaking News: In morning tweets, President Trump sought to pin blame on a looming shutdown on Democrats even though he said last week he that he would proudly own one if Congress did not meet his demand for border-wall funding.

Trump’s exhortation, contained in morning tweets, came about 19 hours before a deadline for the president and Congress to come to terms on a spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown. Trump also sought to pin blame on Democrats for a potential shutdown that just last week he said he would proudly own if his demands for border security were not met."
