Trump: 'Schumer Has Supported A Barrier In The Past.' He 'Changed His Mind After I Was Elected President'

  President Donald Trump addressed the nation at nine o'clock on border security. Trump urged the Democrats to cooperate with the Republicans to fund the $5.7 billion border wall. Trump stood by his promise and did not back down.

  Trump slammed Democrats in his address. "​Senator Chuck Schumer, who you will be hearing from shortly, has repeatedly supported a physical barrier in the past along with many of Democrats," Trump said. "They change their mind only after I was elected President," Trump added.

  "No president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down. Hurting millions of Americans who are treated as leverage," Schumer later responded.

  "Tonight, throughout this debate and throughout his presidency, President Trump has appealed to fear not facts, division, not unity. The symbol of America should be the Statue of Liberty. Not a thirty-foot wall," Schumer added.
