I agree, he needs to drill the fact that people are back to being paid because he didn't like how far down the Dems had sunken by placing their safety of it's citizens in exchange for extending priveleges to illegal aliens.
He doesn't need to "drill" anything. The people who support him (like you) already blame Democrats for literally everything -- crime, poverty, civil rights, teenage pregnancy, Muslims, loss of factory jobs, Roseanne being cancelled, etc.

For everyone capable of objective, rational thought, Trump is the decisive loser this time. Just like the Democrats were the clear losers during the last shutdown standoff.

You should go get some Covfefe and a Hamberder or two and relax a bit. It will be good for that thin skin You seem to have.

Glad you are enjoying this. I admit I'm laughing pretty hard today, too, at how hard his supporters are working to try to make this major cave sound like a win. It doesn't get any funnier than that.
Twice in one week!!! Definitely "The Art of the Deal!"

Are we normally inclined to give people credit for releasing hostages?
McConnell's just twitchy because so many Rs were breaking from Trump support... elections coming up in 2020.

So he cares so much that he caused the pain to those American people just so that he could take the deal that Pelosi offered weeks ago to save them? He wouldn't even stay in the room to try to work out a deal, he had to storm off like a toddler when he was told no.

I didn’t think I would ever say this but please act a little more like President Trump and have some dignity and self respect.
Yes please act mature and oh wait another tweet storm coming.
