Yes, but he keeps supporting Ryan, and Spicer is now saying that Trump is pleased with the provisions of the CR. I wonder if Trump realizes just how much he is handicapping himself with support for this CR? No money and further restrictions for the Wall combined with more funding to resettle refugees and bring in more low wage foreign workers is a deadly combination, not to mention Federal funding for Planned Parenthood and sanctuary cities. The CR seems to be a poisoned chalice for his stated agenda and a huge victory for the Uniparty.
If he gives up ground here, and then there (think immigration control, then Obamacare repeal, then tax reform, then the wall), then pretty soon he will run out of battleground to make a stand on.
If Trump appears to be weakened by losses to his own party at home, then our enemies in Iran and North Korea won't take his threats seriously because they will think they can outlast him by waiting for his party to undermine and remove him before too long.
This is why Trump must stand his ground here, and now.
