Trump Blasts Dems on Twitter as Shutdown Becomes Longest on Record: ‘Democrats Come Back!’

Today the partial government shutdown officially became the longest on record. President Donald Trump––after railing against the FBI over last night’s bombshell report––blasted Democrats on Twitter.

Trump again tweeted today he’s waiting in the White House for Democrats, even saying “Democrats come back!”

He also encouraged supporters to call their Democratic representatives to tell them to “solve the Shutdown.”

Democrats should come back to Washington and work to end the Shutdown, while at the same time ending the horrible humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border. I am in the White House waiting for you!

Democrats could solve the Shutdown in 15 minutes! Call your Dem Senator or Congresswoman/man. Tell them to get it done! Humanitarian Crisis.
