Congress has told Trump like 50 times already we will never fund your stupid wall he is now acting like a cry baby Bi***. Trump will never sign any any bill that does not have like 6 to 9 billion for the wall time to impeach is sorry self if they do not the shut down will still be going on in 8 months This is the first time in Trumps life that anybody has ever stepped toe toe and challenged him before he would bully and get his way.

Trump has offered no compromise, just a demand.

They weren't all failing when the Dems, Reps and Trump all agreed on a budget a few weeks ago. Why didn't they go through with it?

Perhaps they asked Trump to show them the Pesos.

How can a candidate go on for years screeching about Mexico paying for a wall and then have the absolute gall to turn around and ask the US taxpayers to fund it?

Was Trump even at the Trump rallies?

That's what Democrats said a year ago when we had the last shutdown over DACA. Remember? Democrats said they would discuss border security and a wall. A year later, same empty promises.

Dems aren't interested in negotiations how is this a Trump shutdown still? They promised last time they would discuss it this time around and now they aren't even doing that. They haven't even gone after DACA citizenship which is just stupid; give us DACA and the idiot in the White House can have his fence IMO.
Exactly. If the Democrats won’t negotiate for anything then they are the ones keeping the government closed.
