Pres. Trump has now given the country leaders the carrot and stick approach to settle the govt shutdown as well as funding the border security wall that America needs. Unlike other presidents who unwisely trusted the democrat party to keep their promises to fund the wall if only this or that thing was done in return.
Pres Trump has set a deadline for negotiation on the entire situation and ended his address to the nation by affirming that either the wall is funded or he will use his presidential powers to get the job done without their help. I support Pres. Trump in this decision which tells the democrats to put up or shut up. He has afforded them the opportunity to work for the safety of America and the citizens who pay for this govt. God bless Pres Trump and keep him safe. February 15 is three weeks away. The democrat leaders and any recalcitrant Republican leaders had better get cracking.
