Just watch: Trump will proclaim he got his wall funding and that the wall is nearly done.
Dollars to doughnuts he claims it was his super-duper negotiating trick of asking for 5 billion when he really only needed 1 billion, which he got.
He will proclaim victory for 1) getting his wall and 2) avoiding a shutdown.

(150,879 posts)1. I don't know. Maybe Trump should step in that huge pile

Can we now now shut it down over cuts to SS, MC along with election security? You know, things people really care about.
