Fox News Guest Says Trump Voters Should Pay for Border Wall by Crowdfunding It

A Fox News guest proposed a crowdfunding campaign to avoid the looming government shutdown over disagreements about funding for a border wall to separate the U.S. and Mexico.

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin appeared Monday on Fox & Friends, where he reiterated an argument made in his Saturday column.

The president's request for funding is a departure from earlier claims that Mexico would pay for the wall.

He needs Democrats' support because of the 60-vote threshold to advance the measure in the Senate, according to The Washington Post.

The president has at various times changed how much he said the wall will cost.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller placed responsibility for impending shutdown on Democrats while speaking Sunday on Face the Nation.

If government leaders cannot settle their differences before Friday, 420,000 people will be forced to work without pay, while 380,000 others will be sent home, according to NPR. »

Despite a collapsed economy and severe international sanctions, there's a healthy mix of old Soviet and European beaters, imported luxury cars, and home-grown copycats plying the wide streets of Pyongyang these days.

A year later, with economic ties deepening between the two countries, Sweden became the first Western nation to open an embassy in Pyongyang. »
