ANALYSIS It took 35 days, but President Donald Trump ultimately caved to Democratic demands that he reopen the government before theyd entertain negotiations on border security. And in 21 more, Trump will have to decide whether to give in again, because hes not likely to get what he wants.
Trump agreed Friday to back a three-week continuing resolution that will reopen the government through Feb. 15. But he is not giving up on his quest to secure funding for wall along the southern border.
We really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier, Trump said as he concluded remarks from the Rose Garden announcing the deal to temporarily reopen government. If we dont get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on Feb. 15 again or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution of the United States to address this emergency.

Then close the entire border. Order all employees to lock the gates and report elsewhere.
“Never trust a Democrat. Why wait the 21 days,”
Same reason he’s letting the Mueller witch hunt play out. The media is NOT his friend. Every i must be dotted, and every t crossed or else. He has to tread carefully until all the truth comes out, then WHAM! (I hope!)
when is the last time the military or police went against a supreme court decision?
The President will get the wall he wants because it is also what the American people want - especially ME!!!
He is setting the stage, doing the ground work necessary to call an emergency which requires winning some court battles. He knows exactly what to do.
Yes! Screw endless continuing resolutions...declare the emergency, build the big beautiful wall.
Pelosi’s advancing Alzheimer’s Disease makes her Communist beliefs even more obvious.
Truth is truth whether any one believes it or listens to it or not. Pelosi and all of them made their choices and are now and have been in past and will be in future responsible for all US citizens killed, raped, harmed, robbed, drugged etc by their quest for the continual flood of illegals.
WE are responsible to all reexamine ourselves and see what else we can do to help or support a wall or whatever security we can increase to secure our borders and our local communities.
It’s our responsibility as citizens of this great nation. So many give up attitudes here even on FR and in general in our country is the problem. This whole situation can flip toward more wall and better protection ( to me when they say secure the border i think they mean secure the drug can still come in) if we all think what one more thing can I do to help and go ahead and do it - be it pray, or get involved or donate or email Trump support or whatever.
Too many people still don’t realize we have more power than just our vote and watch and see what leaders or others do.
I doubt it. He never goes in for the kill.
Unfortunately Trump has taught the democrats that he is insincere.
He does not mean what he says, at least in shutdowns.
Close the govt. in 3 weeks, what does that mean? Another
cave just down the road.
He best should have continued the shutdown and closed
the border completely until security was achieved.
“Have I not been clear about the wall?”
Trump’s mistake was not taking her word the first time she said it and immediately declared a state of emergency. Some country we’ve got where one nasty old snot can stop the wall.
Within a few hours Schumer and later Pelosi announced no wall. They are not operating in good faith. Why wait 3 weeks?
Donkey’s are known for stubbornness. I know as over the years we’ve had three of them here at the ranch. Love them, but yes they are stubborn. It’s a great mascot for the Democrat party as they use stubbornness to their favor.
They are also Jackasses as their goals are about themselves, and only about themselves.
No Democrat actually thinks about the welfare of their constituency unless it benefits them, and their particular fantasy of life personally.
And THAT is why it was a mistake to reopen the government. In the middle of strangling the beast, you relaxed your grip and gave him a nice big breath of fresh air.
Either that or he's just hiding his shame with excuses and big promises for the time being.
He knows what he’s doing. I think the delays are legit. He is collecting testimony and evidence for the drainage project. The wall/fence/baricade are up for specualtion. He doesn’t give a bleep about Nutsy Peelousy or her trained digbat, either. He leaves them out there for entertainment.
“he miscalculated all along. He negotiated and she wasnt negotiating.”
Then you have to make them hurt until they see the light, not give them what they demand.
A new medical study states the bacterium that causes gum disease also triggers Alzheimer’s. Pelosi is 78, with a mouth full of bad teeth, gums, and dentures. Add to it that she stumbles over simple thoughts, has brain freezes, and is frequently confused, and it’s obvious this Communist is in the throes of dementia.
that chance was thrown away yesterday. just as the pain level might have moved a few dems, he gave them relief and she gave him nothing
