President Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to rail against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi whom he blames for the rejection of a deal to end the Government shutdown.
The Shutdown is now in its 29th day and Trump offered an extension of protection to certain immigrants, about a million of them.
“Nancy Pelosi and some of the Democrats turned down my offer yesterday before I even got up to speak,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They don’t see crime & drugs, they only see 2020 – which they are not going to win. Best economy! They should do the right thing for the Country & allow people to go back to work.”
He also had to explain his offer, stating that it was not an offer of amnesty to the immigrants.

“No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer. It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else,” he said of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Trump continued his rant against Pelosi saying: “Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat. She is so petrified of the ‘lefties’ in her party that she has lost control,

“While a contract is a contract, I’ll get back to you soon!”
Trump also took some time to mock Global warming, tweeting: “Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record-setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!,”
