Addressing the nation Tuesday night, President Donald Trump made his case for Congress to pass a bill funding border security and a physical barrier along the southern border to reopen the government.
Trump pointedly noted that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has previously supported building a physical barrier along areas of the southern border where law enforcement officials say it is needed.
"Democrats in Congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis. And they have refused to provide our brave border agents with the tools they desperately need to protect our families and our nation. The federal government remains shut down for one reason and one reason only: because Democrats will not fund border security."
He's waiting on Democrats in Congress to vote for policies needed to secure the border.
What Trump needed to do - and what he accomplished - was to take his case to the people of the American electorate who live outside the D.C. media bubble, who don't follow the minute-by-minute politics of the Swamp because they have lives to live.
Trump needed to go past media filters, speak clearly, show that illegal immigration is a problem, show he has a solution ready, and put the onus on the Democrats to respond.
Not only did Pelosi and Schumer look ghoulish on TV, but they agreed to President Trump's premise that there is a need to secure the border - and then denied that Congress needs to fund the policies law enforcement is asking for.
