President Trump said the Democratic Party is unwilling to work with him on negotiations over the expiring DACA and would let the federal government shut down to get blanket amnesty.
“The Democrats want to shut down the Government over Amnesty for all and Border Security. The biggest loser will be our rapidly rebuilding Military, at a time we need it more than ever. We need a merit based system of immigration, and we need it now! No more dangerous Lottery,” Trump tweeted Tuesday.

Trump also complained about the media in an additional tweet.
“Do you notice the Fake News Mainstream Media never likes covering the great and record setting economic news, but rather talks about anything negative or that can be turned into the negative. The Russian Collusion Hoax is dead, except as it pertains to the Dems. Public gets it!” he tweeted.
