President Trump says Republicans aren’t interested in compromising with Democrats over the government shutdown. With the shutdown entering its 6th week, the president said he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats. Appearing on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” he said that Democrats who are demanding an extension in health care subsidies “have lost their way” and predicted that they will eventually capitulate to Republicans. The president said if Democrats don’t vote to reopen the government “it’s their problem.”
