WALL NOT FULLY FUNDED THIS BUDGET. SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT NEXT BUDGET.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

The President  just signed the spending bill. Again, the WALL came in underfunded.
 The $854  billion spending bill is to keep the government open through December 7th.

Trump only received $1.6 billion for his wall. That is a far cry  from what is needed. However, Senators McConnell and Speaker Ryan supposedly told Trump that after the midterms they will fully fund his wall. I suspect the leadership in the Republican party are once again patronizing the President. Based on their past action regarding the wall construction I feel it is  very difficult to trust what they say. The leadership in the Republican party has taken a page from the Democratic party and continually obstructed and delayed Trump's wall. The lawmakers keep moving the wall goal post for the President. First, they say, next time. Next time comes and goes and no wall. Next they say "please Mr. President, do not shut down the government. The midterms are coming up and if you demand the wall or  shut down the government that will hurt us in the midterm election." So again the President caved to their demands.

But, I suggest that the President  STOP giving in to this weak, feckless Republican leadership next time. If they do not fully fund the WALL--SHUT down the government. Period. He should stop buckling under the whims and wishes of these lawmakers and act on his own good instincts. Following the midterms he should hold fast and tell these weak acting lawmakers: "it's the money for the Wall or nothing.

But I  believe even after the midterms these same entrenched, established Republicans will tell Trump, "We have the 2020 presidential election coming up and it will hurt the party. Wait until after your reelected." That seems to be their game plan. They will flatter and patronize the President to get him to  keep postponing and delaying  the wall project.

Mr. President, shut down the government and refuse to sign the next budget bill if full funding for the wall is not in  it. Stop conceding to your leadership. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
