Trump did indeed back himself into a no-win situation.

It was a fool's move.

So we're celebrating that thousands of scofflaws continue to show their belligerence for U.S. Immigration law and break in, illegally, to our country?

No, we're celebrating that 800,000 hardworking Americans will finally get paid. Do you have a problem with that?

In what alternative fact filled world do you live in that you think this is a win for Trump?
He creates a false crisis & emergency and shuts down the Government for over a month yet gets NO MONEY for his WALL !

Pelosi: 1
Trump: Big fat 0

Au contraire, it's a great day for America! The POTUS should not be able to hold the government hostage for policy concessions.

Very true. The Democrats are so determined to keep Trump from getting a "win" that they have retracted their previous support for a wall, and to the detriment of American citizens.
