Trump backs away from demand for border wall money (AP, but just a heads up, maybe...)

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump stepped back Monday from demanding a down payment for his border wall in must-past spending legislation, potentially removing a major obstacle to a bipartisan deal just days ahead of a government shutdown deadline.

Trump told a gathering of around 20 conservative media reporters Monday evening that he would be willing to return to the wall funding issue in September, according to two people who were in the room. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the get-together, which was not originally intended to be on the record.

How is it that we witnessed McConnell-Boehner-Ryan dish up everything Obama wanted that the American people did not want, yet deny this President and the American people that which is so strongly expressed as a fundamental protection of security?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This is a Ryan sell out of the Trump agenda.

Paul Ryan must go with Priebus not far behind.

Can you imagine what Bannon is saying to the president on this issue?

This is a make or break issue for the Trump presidency.

Ryan screwed Trump on Health care and now he will screw the president on the Wall. Ryan HAS to go!

You have the right idea. Trump will build the wall but we must be patient. This article does not say Trump will never build the wall. He learned a big lesson with healthcare because he did try doing that too quickly without the right support.

He also said Mexico is going to pay for the wall and thats what I want to see happen.

Let the government shut down. Please. Trump won’t be stupid about it. He’ll use it to justify further cuts.

yeah if they can’t crack this one simple nut with both houses and the presidency the game over. When President Camacho comes, and he will come, then that is that.

More concern troll bait - love the “news” leaked by those who have no sense of honor and hate that so many supposed Constitutionalists lap it up so greedily.

Who is "we?"

Do you mean Republicans in the House and Senate?

Good, let's flush them out and expose them for what they are and start looking for good primary opponents for them.

In the meantime "we are going for it." We are not "punting on fourth down."

Oh, here is another quisling right here on FR. I am sick of this low T (testosterone) crowd that is infesting this country. Man the f*ck up!

We've already been patient! Wasn't the money for the wall appropriated by the House years ago? Exactly what are we waiting for?

Trey Yingst was at this meeting and just tweeted something different about what Trump said. It’s now confirmed that this article is fake news.

This article is stating that Trump already backed away from demanding the money this week.

His actual statement is the same one from last week. Nothing changed. This article is BS.

Sometimes you have to pick the right time for the fight.

And the right time to say that would not have been during the campaign.
(Straight from the Book of Hillary Lincoln.)

I would have to say I agree.

I found this from him (according to what I am seeing at the link below), from yesterday:

@TreyYingst

“On funding the border wall, Trump said he could get it this week or the administration could come back to it in September.

6:58 PM - 24 Apr 2017 “

From:

I have not found another tweet on the subject yet today, does Helicondelta have a link to that please?

These two posts should be on tshirts, billboards and skywritten.

This article states:

“Trump backs away from demand for border wall money”

True or false based on Trey Yingst’s tweet:

“On funding the border wall, Trump said he could get it this week or the administration could come back to it in September.”
