During a press conference on Thursday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stated that President Trump “is doing everything that he can to shut the government down. You have to ask the question, why?”

Pelosi said, “The president is doing everything that he can to shut the government down. You have to ask the question, why? Does he not believe in governance? Does he not care about the American people? Doesn’t he know that the economy is uncertain? Hasn’t he followed the stock market that he likes to brag about, sometimes? There is something wrong with this picture.”
