Article Body: 
Fake News’ question of the week: Will Trump risk a government shutdown over the wall?
 
... But the “shutdown” hypothetical in this case is a trick question.
 
A failure to build the wall IS a government shutdown...
 
The government’s No. 1 job is to protect the nation.
 
This has always been true, but it’s especially important at this moment in history, when we have drugs, gang members, diseases and terrorists pouring across our border. The failure of the government to close our border is the definition of a government shutdown...
 
As commander in chief, Trump doesn’t need Congress to build a wall. The Constitution charges him with defending the nation...
 
Building a wall is not only Trump’s constitutional duty, but it’s also massively popular.
 
Although Trump doesn’t need congressional approval for a wall, it was smart for him to demand a vote. Let the Democrats run for re-election on opposing the wall...
 
No politician wants to have to explain a vote against the wall. What the Democrats want is for Trump to be stuck explaining why he didn’t build the wall.
 
Then it will be a bloodbath. Not only Trump, but also the entire GOP, is dead if he doesn’t build a wall. Republicans will be wiped out in the midterms, Democrats will have a 300-seat House majority, and Trump will have to come up with an excuse for why he’s not running for re-election...
 
He’s the commander in chief! He said he’d build a wall. If he can’t do that, Trump is finished, the Republican Party is finished, and the country is finished.
