Trump: "I'd Love To See A Shutdown"

During a meeting on the MS-13 gang, Donald Trump announced he supports a government shutdown if Democrats won't agree to tighten immigration laws:

"If we don't change it, let's have a shutdown. We'll do a shutdown and it's worth it for our country. I'd love to see a shutdown if we don't get this stuff taken care of."

Trump's comments came at 2:33pm today.

At 3:50pm, White House press secretary Sarah Huckbee Sanders walked that back telling the press, "We are not advocating for a shutdown."
