On Christmas eve, President of the United States tweeted that he was ‘all alone’ in the White house while Democrats were celebrating. He spent the day slamming his critics as the partial shutdown of the US Govt entered its third day.
President Trump, who has cancelled his trip to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Monday, said he was “all alone” in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come to the negotiating table to end the partial government shutdown.
Through a series of tweets and pictures, Trump showed he was working hard while the opposition Democratic lawmakers were in their homes celebrating Christmas.
I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

Trump wants the Democrats to fund for a border wall to stop illegal immigrants from entering the US. Democrats have refused his demands for USD 5 billion in funding for his border wall in a standoff that resulted in a partial government at midnight on Friday.
“At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our country more money than the border wall we are all talking about. Crazy!” Trump said.
Several hours later, Trump said in a tweet that he was in the Oval Office and working on border security.
I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas. We are already building and renovating many miles of Wall, some complete. Democrats must end Shutdown and finish funding. Billions of Dollars, & lives, will be saved!

Later in the evening, he and the First lady Melania helped children across the country to track Santa.
“Nothing new on the shutdown. We need more security,” he told reporters during this phone call with children.
Santa Tracker is a 63-year tradition of tracking Santa’s sleigh from the North Pole to children all over the world.
