Trump would consider short-term funding bill only with 'down payment' on wall: White House
The Hill ^

President Trump will only accept a stopgap spending bill to reopen the government if it contains a down payment for his long-desired border wall, the White House said Thursday, shortly after the Senate rejected two separate funding bills.
The president would consider a CR only if it includes a down payment on the wall, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement to The Hill.

Damn it, the 5.7M is a down payment. I'd say so. I thought the whole wall would be like $25 billion. The $5.7 billion is just to get started. But the $25 billion would STILL be cheaper than spending billions on these cockroaches every single year anew.

“Damn it, the 5.7M is a down payment.”
Pelosi probably won’t go along with even a down payment on a down payment. :-)
To: Truth29
Good move by the President. I hope it would be a significant down payment.

"He cant stop negotiating against himself."
Nancy is incrementally winning by not giving an inch. Trump could be saved by Pelosi still refusing to give even one dollar, but what would happen next?
