Mr Trump's embrace of such a disruptive event came days after he accused Senate Democrats of seeking that same outcome and obstructing majority Republicans during budget negotiations.

When a reporter asked Mulvaney where the wall in the picture behind him was on the border, he couldn't answer. "I hope the President does not seriously wish to have the consequences of a government shutdown resting squarely on his shoulders". "And we didn't do any touting like the Democrats did, by the way", he said at an unrelated White House event.
