Trump backpedals a bit on shutdown but still strikes tough line on his wall

President Trump Thursday appeared to step back from comments suggesting he’d take responsibility for a government shutdown, tweeting, “Let’s not do a shutdown,” but also saying in a video accompanying the tweet, “Whatever it takes to get border security, I will do it.”

Trump in the video upped his political rhetoric in his push for wall funding, calling Democrats hypocrites for not financing his border wall while supporting other border security measures over the years.
