The more republicans will lose their jobs in the 2020 election, especially with trump tweeting and talking . The Democrats know this too, so why would they make any deal with trump and the gop today? That would be stupid for them to do now, and lett trump and the gop off the hook. What trump would do if he got the funding is just like he always does, cuts all costs on its construction for them to funnel more money into his pocket by pressuring any contractors in order to get the contract , they have to pay him by giving to his campaign, which he then funnels into his pockets. He's wanting more money for himself , and is all this is about. Corruption.
