funding operations: If you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in America, then you can dream anything, you can be anything, and together, we can achieve anything, according to Toronto Star. Despite his calls for bipartisanship, Trump spoke with tensions running high on Capitol Hill.

An impasse over immigration prompted a three-day government shutdown earlier this year, and lawmakers appear no closer to resolving the status of the Dreamers young people living in the U.S. illegally ahead of a new Feb. 8 deadline for funding operations. The controversies that have dogged Trump and the ones he has created have overshadowed strong economic gains during his first year in office.
