However, not all netizens agreed with Trump, responding to him with rhymes of their own.
Many Twitterians used the occasion to practice writing verses, slamming POTUS. Most of them threatened him with sentences for crimes that he had allegedly committed.
Others used rhymes to mock the president's promises.
Some netizens came up with entire verses devoted to the president.
One social media user suggested that Trump should now assume a stage name, since he has started his rapper career. The user even offered up an option to consider.

Trump demands that funding for the wall is included in a budget bill, saying that he won't sign it otherwise. The Democrats have refused to give a "single dollar" for the wall, further prolonging the already record-long shutdown.
