Budget director: Trump would sign a funding bill without wall money

With a potential government shutdown set for Friday at midnight, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney confirmed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump would, in fact, sign a funding bill that did not provide money to build his border wall.

"The offer that we received from the Democrats the last couple days included a good bit of money for border security," Mulvaney said on CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper."

When Tapper asked if Trump would sign the bill even without funding for a border wall, a clear administration priority in early talks, Mulvaney said "yeah."

He added that the border security money in the bill would allow Trump "to follow through on his promise to make that border more secure." However, he said the administration was not backing down from its demand for border wall funding.

"We just thought that it would be a good first step to get these things that everybody agrees on and take that idea of a government shutdown off the table," Mulvaney said.

So there goes that threat for good. Assuming easyD won't do random 180 at last minute.

This is the stupidest shit in the history of deals

Our government is literally jumping the shark if this happens. Funding a fucking multibillion $$$ wall while people's lives, health, the environment, and interstellar travel get pushed to the side and defunded

goddamn idiots. can't believe we are even talking about this

When 62 million people come out to vote for a man proposing an impossible idea, you know this election had zero to with the economy or getting jobs back.

The wall is a metaphor for pushing supremacy. Or white lash.
