President Donald Trump made an unexpected visit to the White House instructions room Thursday to ask for an outskirt divider that Democrats have said he won’t get.
“We require assurance in our nation. We’re going to make it great, individuals of our nation need it,” Trump said Thursday, only hours after Democrats recovered the House and gave the speakership to Nancy Pelosi. “I have never had such a great amount of help as I have had in the most recent week over my position over outskirt security, fringe control, or honestly the divider or the boundary.”
“Without a wall you cannot have border security. It will not work”

Trump has partially shut down the government over a lack of funding for his wall, and incoming House Democrats have said they will not meet his demands for the funding.
The president did not stay to respond to questions from reporters.
