I would imagine that, rather than $5.7 billion for the remaining 9 months, he’d take $600 million for a 1-month extension. The democrats could argue they won because 9 months of that would only add up to 5.4 billion.

If anyone thinks @SpeakerPelosi won the State of the Union stand-off, you’ve missed every @POTUS victory of the last 2 years, and have no idea who @realDonaldTrump is, or how he wins.

He keeps making them offers he knows they will refuse.

This is all building up to Emergency EO.

EXACTLY!

And all of the people who just, SO BADLY, want to "trust"/"believe" in Trump and/or claim that he "has a plan", are refusing to see reality; not to mention remember that the Dems have been playing this "promise" game, re a WALL, since Reagan.

His supporters aren’t offering 3 years amnesty for Dreamers, or shaving down the wall payment number even further.

Yep. He keeps losing ground. Bargaining down.

But what can he do? Look at today’s failed Senate Vote.

Trump is ouuta options. He does not call the shots.

Pelosi hasn't budged an inch from the start, it's Trump offering amnesty, coming down on how much funding etc.

At least threads like this bring the never Trump hacks out of the walls. It makes recognizing them easier.☺

“How much is a down payment?”

I believe he said pro rata.

So one month out of a $5.7 billion year, would be $475 million. Plus the equivalent percentage of his other requests.

I wish there was some way to communicate to Mr. Trump that his supporters want the wall, and don’t mind the govt being shut down one little bit. Clearly he is caving, first on the SOTU and now the wall. It is my prayer and my hope, if Mr. Trump fails, and he seems to be failing, that our Lord will raise up another who will not fail. But I am grateful for all that Mr. Trump has accomplished. But if he cannot withstand the heat any longer, I hope that he will step aside, for his family’s sake, and for ours.

It's threads like this that bring out the personality cult types that just don't care that the centerpiece of his 16' campaign was a lie.

Ugh, I think we are talking about a short term extension for a down payment. Then, he can give the ‘state of the union’ speech.

Ok he didn’t cave on SOTU or the wall. He’s playing 10th dimension chess cause he likes negotiating from a position of weakness. Now excuse me while I go water my pet unicorn

Not exactly. Its not amnesty.
Trump knows there are critical parts of the overall wall that need attention.
In not a builder and I no that.
I suspect the dims, as well as the RINOs know it too.
That is why they don’t want to give him a measly 5.5 billion.
