He started out at $25 billion. It is the Dems that are immovable.
At day thirty, some fear among the DC employee crowd who have gone and missed one paycheck. At day sixty (late Feb), I think a great deal of chatter will start up. What you will get is an offer on the table to fund 1-billion dollars for 2019, and maybe 1-billion for 2020 (a promise signed on paper). I think Trump will push back and in mid-March...it’ll be agreed to fund 2.5-billion in 2019 and 2.5-billion in 2020.
Frankly, at that point...most of the Trump promises will have been accomplished and I would suggest that he will announce he won’t run in the 2020 election by August of 2019.
Trump should have never budged off the $25 billion number.
He should also announce that he will now no longer settle for anything less than $25 biilion and that furloughedfederal employees will not be paid for the time they have not worked; and stick to it. After 2-4 weeks of that, the federal government employee unions will order the Democrats to give Trumpnthe money he wants.
