Trump Gives Dems Two Choices: Fund Wall Or The Military Will Build It

  President Donald Trump threatened to task the military to build the wall if Democratic congressional leaders don't support funding for the construction of the border wall.

​  Trump wants $5 billion for the construction of the border wall. The Democrats are insisting Trump accept $1.6 billion instead. The original price of the wall was $25 billion, but Trump said the cost of building a wall is a lot less. 

  "If we don’t get what we want, one way or the other, whether it’s through you, through military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government,” Trump said.

  “I will take the mantle of shutting down the government. I’m going to shut it down for border security.”
