The president took to Twitter Tuesday to call for a “good shutdown” in September, when government funding will run out under the latest deal, to fix the “mess” in government.

Trump has repeatedly stayed at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., since becoming president, leading some to dub Mar-a-Lago the “winter White House.”

Trump also expressed frustration over legislation needing 60 votes in the Senate to clear a filibuster.

“The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there!” he tweeted.

“We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%,” he added. “Our country needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September to fix mess!”

Congress is poised this week to approve a deal to fund the government through September.

The funding package is the first major bipartisan legislation of Trump’s presidency, coming after lengthy negotiations.

The measure will spare Trump a damaging government shutdown, but it also left out some of his biggest policy requests, including funding for a wall along the southern border with Mexico.
