How come Trump is shutting down government because he wants funding for a wall that over 60 percent of Americans do not want?

Because it's not about what Americans want, it's about what HE wants. You haven't figured that out yet?

Really? President Trump did NOT shut the government down - the Democrats did this! The Wall is only 1/10th of 1% of the National Budget. Plus 99%, of Americans, WANT THE WALL.

Because he's stupid

That's just the way he is. He doesn't want to back down. He thinks that he can run the country the same way he runs his companies, which of course he can't.

It was one of his election promises and the guy is a focused idiot.

Trump is a spoiled man child that has a huge ego problem. He likes to see his name. This wall would be known as the “trump wall”. He will put America in harms way (the shutdown) to get his way.

Why do you need government?

Because 60% of Americans do not know the facts--any of them. They are not told the facts and they do not research to find out the facts. Trump and border patrol knows that a wall is absolutely necessary.
