HARD TO ARGUE THE POINT

Trump adamantly rejects any allegation that he would accept the blame for any Government shutdown if they didn't fund the wall at the border.  Trump says that he said that his tax cuts would not increase the national debt but they did; he said that the Mexicans would pay for the wall and they didn't.  Trump claims that no reasonable man could have the expectation that his promise to assume responsibility for the shutdown could possibly have any validity.  Hard to argue the point.
