While some Fox News hosts (Sean Hannity) caved to President Trump and switched gears on their critiques of the Presidents support of a border funding deal, The Five co-host Jedediah Bila dug in her heels on Wednesday.
She lambasted Trump for floating fantasies, like Mexico is going to pay for the wall, that wont work out and disappoint his base. She then suggested that if he puts his John Hancock on the compromise bill, the month-long shutdown he forced over his border wall funding demands will have been for nothing.
He has to learn to stop doing this, she said. He put out there, Mexicos going to pay for the wall. Didnt work out that way. He put out there, Im not going to budge, Im going to dig my heels in. And then when you dont, people are disappointed in you.
This whole shutdown was completely absurd and a waste of time if it wasnt going to force him to kind of say, You know what, my way or the highway, because this is a national emergency, she continued. Either its a national emergency or its not. Make up your mind.

families, as well as the American economy.
