House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is giving President Donald Trump an F for "failure in leadership" on the anniversary of his inauguration.
Pelosi also slammed congressional Republicans on Saturday as the government shutdown began.
In a speech on the House floor, Pelosi said Republicans who control the White House and hold majorities in the House and Senate are "so incompetent and negligent that they couldn't get it together to keep the government open."
Pelosi urged Republicans to "get down to business for everyday people in America."
She says Trump has tweeted that the country "needs a good shutdown." She says: "Your wish has come true for your one-year anniversary."
Republicans have blamed Democrats for the shutdown.
