The virulent remark "Our country is living a hell now" posted on Instagram by American rapper Cardi B against the US president can sum up the country's situation since the "shutdown".

The shutdown, the partial paralysis of the administration with 800,000 federal employees who are either unemployed or required to work without being paid, is the longest in history: it begins its 27th day and no way out.

Some administrations were simply closed. The ministries of Homeland Security, Justice, State Department and Treasury present closed doors as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and NASA.

This is not without negative consequences on the functioning of the country so much that Donald Trump reminded thousands of officials to return to work without pay (for lack of budget) to limit the effects of the paralysis of the administrations ...

At issue: the lack of agreement for the financing of $ 5 billion (4.4 billion euros) of the wall required by Donald Trump on the Mexican border.

This wall is presented as a key element of its strategy to fight illegal immigration and drug trafficking and as a matter of "national security" for the White House. For their part, the Democrats do not want to hear about it.

But by taking responsibility for the shutdown, Donald Trump ties his fate to the success of the wall on the border with Mexico.

No side wants to give in and the "shutdown" turns to the settlement of accounts.

Just as Friday of the Democrats and not least ignited the possibility of a dismissal of Donald Trump after information provided by an online media, immediately denied on Saturday. "Listen, if Mueller has several elements alleging the Trump asked Cohen to lie in Congress, we need to be informed as soon as possible, "tweeted Senator Chris Murphy.

And all the moves now seem permissible.

Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi have been engaged in an intense standoff since the beginning of the partial budget paralysis. The first on Friday, canceled an official trip until then kept secret. He stunned the Congress by announcing that he was canceling a trip that third state figure Nancy Pelosi was scheduled to perform in Afghanistan aboard a military plane. "Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been postponed," Trump wrote to Ms. Pelosi, referring to the "public relations" activity trip, Pushing irony he proposed a commercial flight "Of course, if you want to travel by commercial plane, the choice is yours," concluded the tenant of the White House. The day before, Nancy Pelosi had asked to postpone the traditional speech on the state of the Union of the president, scheduled on January 29 for security reasons due to shutdown. Now, according to tradition, it is up to the leader of the lower house to invite the president to this annual speech before the House of Representatives and the Senate together. Private military aircraft by Donald Trump, the leader of US congressional Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, said Friday suspended a trip. "We were informed that by revealing the existence of our trip, the president had made the situation much more dangerous on the ground," Pelosi told reporters.

Would the president want to end this fight?

US President Donald Trump said he planned to make a "major announcement" Saturday afternoon about not only the shutdown but also the construction of the wall.

"I'm going to make a major announcement about the humanitarian crisis on our southern border, and the shutdown, tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm [9 pm in France], live from the White House," tweeted the Republican president. without further specification.

If the stalemate continued, did it not threaten to declare a national "emergency" to activate extraordinary powers to obtain funds from the defense budget, thus bypassing Congress ?
