WH ( housing/ cooking/ security ) staff and POTUS/ FLOTUS aids must be thrilled to suddenly have to work the holiday, especially with delayed compensation.

To think, Trump could have received as much as $20 billion last January in trade for DACA. He knows you don’t give without getting something in return during a negotiation. No damn good reason why this appropriation could not have come to a head months ago.

This is what gets me. Negotiations involve giving a little here and getting a little there. Trump seems to think he should get whatever he wants without giving anything.

That’s a terrible negotiating strategy! Why does he call himself a great negotiator? How did this strategy go over in the private sector?

Appears Trump was initially willing to deal.

Then Limbaugh ( most listened to radio program) bashed hiim with no mercy. Coulter was so over the top in insipult, he ceased being a Twitter follower. Sounds like a middle school pissing match.

It’s pretty amazing. The POTUS is so thin-skinned, he makes policy decisions based on conservative commentator tweets.

Ann Coulter is POTUS.

Yup. Since the White House kitchen feeds so many workers, I'm sure it will be open for biz too.

What's so bad about staying at the White House for Christmas anyway? I think it would be a swell place for Christmas and the holidays.
