The Latest: Trump to stay in DC if partial shutdown happens
9 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on efforts to avoid a government shutdown (all times local):
6:42 p.m.
President Donald Trump will not travel to Florida on Friday for Christmas if the government is headed toward a partial shutdown.
Thats the word late Thursday from two of Trumps senior advisers.
Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at the White House that Trump will not travel in a shutdown.
Policy adviser Stephen Miller also says Trump will stay at the White House absent an agreement with Congress to keep parts of the government open.
Trump told House Republican leaders earlier Thursday that he will not sign Senate-passed legislation to keep parts of the government operating through early February because the measure does not include $5 billion he has demanded to pay for a wall he promised to build on the border with Mexico.

Is he afraid they will change the locks? That golf remark from Nancy must have left a mark.

seeing as how this is his last chance to do something truly drastic before the new Congress comes in.

It seriously wouldn't surprise me if this was a response to Nancy setting him on fire over golfing during a government shutdown.
