Donald Trump fired a new shot across Democrats' bow on Thursday, claiming that they should feel motivated to end a six-day-old partial government shutdown because most of the out-of-work federal employees are part of their political base.
'Do the Dems realize that most of the people not getting paid are Democrats?' the president tweeted.
Trump had just made a morning return to the White House after visiting Al Asad Air Base in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was busy tweeting an hour and 16 minutes later.
It's unclear what percentage of furloughed federal workers are registered Democrats. But a late 2016 analysis of political donations among self-identified federal government employees, conducted by The Hill, showed that about 95 per cent of their presidential capaign contributions went to Hillary Clinton.
President Donald Trump, pictured at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on his way back from Iraq, tweeted upon his return to Washington that his congressional adversaries should give him billions of dollars to fund his U.S.-mexico border wall because the federal employees affected by a partial government shutdown resulting from the funding statement are mostly Democrats
The president tried to set the news agenda by putting pressure on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as the partial shutdown entered its dixth day
Trump hosted Pelosi (left) and Schumer (right) in the Oval Office last week for what turned out to be a public airing of resentments about border security that served to harden positions on both sides of the standoff
Friday night's partial shutdown, the third since Trump took office in January 2017, came after the White House and congressional Democrats reached a stalemate over funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
'Have the Democrats finally realized that we desperately need Border Security and a Wall on the Southern Border. Need to stop Drugs, Human Trafficking,Gang Members & Criminals from coming into our Country,' Trump tweeted.
He first praised America's troops in the Middle East, saying the Iraq-based servicemen and women he visited are 'incredible people' who 'know how to win!'
Trump vowed on his way to Iraq aboard Air Force One that he would stick to his guns in order to resolve the shutdown in Republicans' favor, telling reporters that he’ll do just about anything to secure funding for his wall.
He declined to say how much he would accept in a deal with congressional Democrats.
'You have to have a wall, you have to have protection,' he said while on the ground at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq.
When asked how long he would wait to get what he wants, he said, 'Whatever it takes. We need a wall. We need safety for our country.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
