Trump blasts GOP spending plan that lacks money for wall

Raising the specter of a government shutdown in just 10 days, President Donald Trump complained Thursday that a spending plan pushed by congressional Republicans is “ridiculous” because it does not include funding for a border wall with Mexico.

Trump tweeted that he wants to know “where is the money for Border Security and the WALL in this ridiculous Spending Bill.”

Trump’s outburst could complicate GOP efforts to avert a partial government shutdown at the end of September and delay a fight over border funding until after the midterm elections in November.
