President Trump: If we dont get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on February 15th, again or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws & the Constitution of the United States to address this emergency.
And POTUS 45 followed that up with this tweet a few minutes ago
"I wish people would read or listen to my words on the Border Wall. This was in no way a concession. It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, its off to the races!"

Analyze their behavior. That whole raid was stage craft. Designed to be in your face. Like the kid with a new hot rod in the late 70’s who had to do donuts and burn outs around me while laughing. We all knew he was nuts anyway. This actually is due to their fears. Their fear Trump. That is why they are doing all this. He said Hillary belongs in jail to a national audience. That is what this is all about. They are afraid. That kid from the 70’s btw was a hemophilliac.
Leverage over what goes into the budget us what is supposed to get the wall funded. That leverage is still there whether there is a temporary budget or shutdown. First shutdown Trump took blame. Then he ended it. Next shutdown will be pyschologically harder to blame on him. If he keeps asking for a deal and we end up going through more shut downs which he then ends it will be very difficult for Americans not to start blaming the dems for being unreasonable.
