Dear Mr. President,
You cannot make a deal with Satan or his pit of vipers in the congress.
Period.
If you cave on this you will be a one-term president.
The democrats will not come your way to accept your offer no matter what you offer. They sense weakness on your part and they're going to go for your jugular.
They couldn't care less about the out of work government workers. This is a sledge hammer they intend to use on you no matter what.
The only way you can win in this situation is to stand your ground. We the people have your back.
If the democrats refuse to budge, then you will have to secure the border any way you can without them. Use the military to beef up and secure the most vulnerable sections of the border.
Let the government stay shutdown until hell freezes over if necessary.
NO AMNESTY (comprehensive immigration reform)!!
If you let the democrats and RINOs badger you into approving amnesty, you WILL lose your base and you will NOT be reelected.
You have already saved the country several times over and you will go down in history as the greatest president ever, IF you do NOT cave on this!!
STAND YOUR GROUND AND MAKE THEM COME TO YOU!
Jim, we really need a like button. :^)
RIF. (Read: Reduction in Force) It worked in the military when the democrats cut defense spending. Now let it work at the SES (Read: Senior Executive Service) and below levels. (GS-12 through GS 15) DRAIN THE SWAMP!

“If you let the democrats and RINOs badger you into approving amnesty, you WILL lose your base and you will NOT be reelected.”
BTTT
Just declare an emergency and build the damn wall. We’ve had quite enough of the democrat’s games. You’ll never get what you want trying to make deals with snakes.
EVERY WORD YOU SAID!!!
I voted for Trump on the economy. I trust him with amnesty. We aren’t ever going to deport 20-30 million illegals. It simply isn’t going to happen. Like Trump always said we need to have heart.
Jim
Respectfully, I see DACA as a done deal with the widespread public support for it.
Trump will just be giving them something they are surely to get anyway.
And the value of their eventual capitulation on this matter opens the field for all other plays toward the end zone. The real value of your opponents capitulation, after all their credibility has been utterly destroyed...is priceless.
And that’s only if the Democrats are smart enough to TAKE the deal.
If not, our resolve will last years. They will eventually cave with nothing in return.
100% but my guess is he is offering something he knows the RATS will turn down that he can then use to beat them over the head with... i hope
Jim speaks truth.
Whatever Trump offers today will most likely be rejected, so he will come across as the reasonable one, trying to make a deal and end the shutdown....
The Democrats were never going to cave and give Trump 100% of what he wants, but compromise doesn’t mean giving the other side 100% of what you want....
Offer to make a deal, which will be rejected, remind the Dreamers who rejected giving them some type of status, the Democrats who claim to support them have rejected multiple times deals from Republicans...
Once the deal is rejected and the Democrats refuse to make a serious counter offer, then declare an national emergency and build the way anyway.....
I dont think the dems will ever take a deal. So offer a new deal every week. $5.3 Billion
$5 Billion
$4.8 Billion
$4.5 Billion
$4.2 Billion
$4 Billion
Six weeks of the dems being unwilling to compromise will make them look bad. Then Trump can declare an emergency and build the wall.
Beat the dems over the head with it.
During the campaign Trump promised to DEPORT them, now you say they're a bargaining chip in a game we have already lost?
That attitude is exactly why we will never get our country back.
I say fight, and if we lose, leave them nothing to reward their treachery, burn the Republican Party to the ground.
I agree Jim, but I would urge all to be patient on this.
Trump is no naive fool. He knows what the Dummycrats are and their intentions.
Trump is, however, a master of strategy the likes of which the Republic has never before seen. He can see the whole board in a way the rest of us cannot. He is thinking, 4,5,6 moves ahead with every action.
I suspect we are seeing a grand strategy worth of Alexander at play currently. Books will be written and students told to study the wit and wonder of Donald J Trump
At the SOTU he will say, “I’ve done everything I can reasonably do to protect our great country. I even made a deal with the devil and offered them DACA knowing that they claim to care for the children of undocumented immigrants—they even turned that down! America, I now need your help.
You elected me for this, but the left would deny you the most basic of protection. They would have more of you die at the hands of illegal criminal aliens so long as they can continue to get more votes for their socialist agenda and globalist goals.
You just voiced my worries.
True.....all of it.
