President Trump pleads on TV for wall money; Dems say he stokes 'fear'
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump urged congressional Democrats to fund his long-promised border wall in a somber televised address that was heavy with dark immigration rhetoric but offered little in the way of concessions or new ideas to break the standoff that has left large swaths of the government shuttered for 19 days.Speaking to the nation from the Oval Office for the first time, President Trump argued Tuesday night that the wall was needed to resolve a security and humanitarian "crisis," blaming illegal immigration for what he said was a scourge of drugs and violence in the U.S. and asking: "How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?"Democrats in response accused President Trump appealing to "fear, not facts" and manufacturing a border crisis for political gain.Using the formal trappings of the White House, President Trump hoped to gain the upper hand in the standoff over his demand for $5.7 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

In Oval Office address, Pres. Trump urges wall funding to fix border 'crisis'; Dems vow to block it
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In a somber televised plea, President Donald Trump urged congressional Democrats to fund his long-promised border wall Tuesday night, Jan. 8, blaming illegal immigration for what he called a scourge of drugs and violence in the U.S. and framing the debate over the partial government shutdown in stark terms."This is a choice between right and wrong," he declared.Democrats, in response, accused President Trump of appealing to "fear, not facts" and manufacturing a border crisis for political gain.The back-to-back remarks by President Trump and Democratic leaders appeared unlikely to do much to break the logjam that has left large swaths of the government closed.
