President Donald Trump took the unusual step of advocating a forced shutdown of the federal government , after Republicans and Democrats ignored White House demands in reaching a budget deal.

“Our country needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September to fix mess!” Trump tweeted.

After a bruising budget battle which saw fellow Republicans jettison many of Trump’s election promises, the embattled president lashed out, saying maybe the government should not be funded at all.

Trump’s congressional allies have cut a deal with Democrats to fund the government until September, at least delaying the building of a border wall and a host of Trump’s other priorities.

Previous government shutdowns have cost the US economy tens of billions of dollars and seen government services grind to a halt as thousands of non-essential personnel are temporarily laid off.

Trump could, if he wanted, refuse to sign the bill funding the government up to September, which is still being finalized in Congress.
