On Tuesday night, after a long day of very important legal developments for Donald Trump, the former president posted on his Truth Social feed "ALL A PRESIDENT HAS TO DO IS SAY, "CLOSE THE BORDER" AND THE BORDER WILL BE CLOSED. A COSTLY NEW BILL IS NOT NECESSARY!" This came in response to the total collapse of the Senate's bipartisan border bill which had been painstakingly negotiated over the last couple of months to meet the demands of the hardline GOP. Republicans said they would not advance any funding for Ukraine, Israel or Gaza humanitarian aid unless immigration laws were changed to their specification.
But then President Biden and the Democrats called their bluff.
