“The media and the Democrats will point out that a couple of weeks ago they had a compromise that took care of DACA and fully funded the wall but Trump threatened to veto it.”
I don’t remember any compromise that got enough votes in the Senate. There was no bill that would have passed the House. If a DACA bill was sent to POTUS and he vetoed it, I would see your point.
While I’m thinking about it, if Maddog Mattis threatens to quit over funding of the military, I would say hit the road. POTUS has broader responsibilities beyond C-I-C.
Trump threatened to veto it so it's hard to say how many votes it would have gotten had he supported it.

I had not heard that Mattis was threatening to resign over the budget.
And don’t get me wrong. I think the President should veto the bill because the end result will be a $1 trillion-plus deficit for this year. That is reason enough. Don’t say it’s over DACA or any other patently nonsensical excuse.
