Trump should just announce he will not sign any budget that does not include funding for the wall.

Not a full-blown budget (like we have not seen in 8 years) nor a Continuing Resolution.

And then stick to it.

I would bet $100 the US Congress will not fail to deliver something with his desired funding. They will not think he is bluffing, not for a minute.

They know he is impervious to anything they can throw at him.

>> Trump should just announce ...

And some friendly pressure at the home districts wouldn’t hurt either.

If he wouldn’t sign a budget or CR then only the critical spending would get done, which would actually accomplish what a lot of us would like.

Only trouble is we need to still fund the military.

Would the CIA and NSA still be funded? Maybe this would be a way to finally just get rid of the Deep State...

I have to say that I’ll be surprised and very disappointing if Trump doesn’t do this

“Trump should just announce he will not sign any budget that does not include funding for the wall.”

Trump is, in effect, the first third party President since the 19th century.

And the DC Uniparty is going all out to defeat him, including, I predict, shutting down the gov’t and the debt ceiling.

But two can play at that game. Trump can use the threat of the debt ceiling himself. He has to be ready to prioritize payments.

Some of the groundwork for payment priority was done by Obama - he lied about it but he still did it.

Obama just takes money to give to our enemies. I say president Trump should just take the money to build the wall. Take it from the money we waste on the palestinians and other stupid spending. I'm sure the president can find the money somewhere.
