The White House is saying that Democrats will be to blame for the government shutdown after they block his non-starter of an offer to end the government shutdown.
Mick Mulvaney discussed the latest White House scheme:
.@MickMulvaneyOMB on Senate Democrats and how they will vote on Trump shutdown proposal.
“If the bill is filibustered on Tuesday, on the “motion to proceed,†people will not get paid. I will be very curious to see how the Democrats in the Senate deal with that.‗ Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) January 20, 2019

Trump offer to end the shutdown was fake
Trump made Democrats an offer that he knew they would refuse because he already offered it to them and they turned him down. The White House still hasn’t gotten the point. Democrats will never vote for money for the wall. Trump has no intention of compromising on the shutdown. His goal remains to make Democrats give him money for his wall.
Senate Democrats will block the bill on Tuesday, as the White House will have once again failed to divide Democrats, and the shutdown will continue until Donald Trump grows up and reopens the government.
