Sen. Bob Corker says President Donald Trump pushed the government into partial shutdown as an act of political posturing.

Please watch the video and consider what Corker says before you have a knee-jerk reaction to blast Corker and defend President Trump. Corker explains that not long ago Trump could have had $25 billion for border security in exchange for settling the dreamer issue and Trump would not accept it.

Corker says this government shut down is a made up fight so Trump can look like he is doing something. I agree. Corker says even if Trump should win, our borders would still not be secure. Listen to his explanation as to why.

Corker also explains why Trump's sudden pull out of Syria without consulting allies is a mistake and why Gen. James Mattis is right.
