'The Schumer Shutdown'? Trump
In hopes of brokering an agreement   President Donald Trump  summoned Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer  D-N.Y.  to the White House Friday â apparently to no avail.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn said  â The president  told him (Schumer) to go back and talk to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and work it out. So I think thatâs the best way to handle this."
With a shutdown looming   the president  scrapped plans to travel to Florida to celebrate the one-year anniversary of  his  inauguration.
"Government Funding Bill (passed) last night in the House of Representatives. Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate - but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!"  Trump  tweeted Friday morning.
Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters Friday that while  he 's hoping for the best   he 's planning for the worst.
"I think it's ratcheted up "  he  said. "We were operating under a sort of 30 percent shutdown up until yesterday; I think it's ratcheted up now."
