37. Trump was just given Democratic approval to cut $18 billion in domestic spending.

And that's just over the next six months. Who knows what other cuts will be added to the next CR that Democrats will now inevitably support because gosh Trump really seriously wants a shutdown!

In the meantime, Trump and Co will continue firing federal employees and ignoring the courts, which he's already doing.

Nothing was won today. Democrats folded and just showed the Republicans that they can bring even more severe cuts to the table next time because you can't risk a government shutdown!
