The United States President Donald Trump said he is “ready, willing and able” to negotiate with democrats to end the partial government shutdown that has now stretched into 10th consecutive day on New Year’s Eve. Trump used Fox News interview to blame democrats for a deadlock which led shutdown.
Trump said democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer “can come over right now” and also “could’ve come over anytime” to produce out any solution.
According to news reports, Trump’s fresh statement could be considered as another attempt to prove that federal government shutdown and deadlock over funding was a failure of democrats.
During interview, Trump said: “A lot of people are looking to get their paycheck, so I’m ready to go whenever they want.”
While in the meantime, Trump lashed out on Democrats and started blaming them via twitter.
Early Monday, in a tweet, Trump wrote: “I campaigned on Border Security, which you cannot have without a strong and powerful Wall. Our Southern Border has long been an “Open Wound,” where drugs, criminals (including human traffickers) and illegals would pour into our Country. Dems should get back here a fix now!”

Then, Trump attacked the “fake news” via tweeting: “I am the only person in America who could say that, “I’m bringing our great troops back home, with victory,” and get BAD press. It is Fake News and Pundits who have FAILED for years that are doing the complaining. If I stayed in Endless Wars forever, they would still be unhappy!”

Trump continued tweeting and wrote: “I’m in the Oval Office. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall. You voted yes in 2006 and 2013. One more yes, but with me in office, I’ll get it built, and Fast!”

Over not reaching to an outcome with democrats, Trump wrote: “It’s incredible how Democrats can all use their ridiculous sound bite and say that a Wall doesn’t work. It does, and properly built, almost 100%! They say its old technology – but so is the wheel. They now say it is immoral- but it is far more immoral for people to be dying!”
