Building the wall is doing 100% what he should do as a democratic leader.
He ran on it in 2016, in fact it was his signature campaign promise. He won the 2016 election. When he doesn't focus on it, his base begins to complain.
He's doing what his base wants, which is the base that won him the 2016 election. Ignoring them would be undemocratic and single to people that elections don't have consequences.
I don't think you understand a democratic system of government.
He is POTUS of the whole country, all of us, not just those who voted for him.
You think his duty is to his base. Go ahead and build the wall. Let his base pay for it.
Trump is being pressured to listen to his base. This actually a good thing. You want the president to listen to the base that got him elected. This is what president's are supposed to do in a democracy. Not forgot the people who got them elected.
Trump gets accused of being a dictator, fascist etc but at least here, he's being a very democratic leader.
I thought Trump was president for all the citizens of the country, not just his base. He should actually be listening to both sides. And listening to his base might be a good thing if they were giving him good advice. But they're not.

You don't just promise you will do A during your election, then when you get elected, say sorry, I can't do A because the other half want B and I need to be "president for all Americans" (whatever this platitude actually means).
He has duty to keep fighting for that wall. He might not be successful, but he should be fighting for it.
Don't Chuckie and Nancy too? Or is it only Trump that is supposed to govern all Americans?
Yes, Congress does too. That's why the Dems passed multiple bills trying to get the government open. Unlike Trump who's willing to split the baby in half.
