Where's the lie? He did cave. He isn't getting a wall right now. Government is opening.
So we wait for three weeks, big whoop.
During which time Trump gives his SOTU in the House chamber, right on schedule. Then when the Democrats refuse to compromise with him on the wall, at least he tried. And then the emergency declaration is implemented, which includes $7 billion for border wall funding.
All I'm seeing is spin from both sides. What is the actual deal? If we are back to square one after 3 weeks I don't see how this makes much difference at all.
So if ISIS released hostages, you'd give them "kudos" for doing the right thing?
It's not like Trump wanted to re-open government. He backed himself into an unwinnable position. He shouldn't get "credit" for caving.
I think equating President Trump to a terrorist organization is a bit of a stretch. My point is someone had to give in this stalemate and I am glad he finally did before Feb 1 (when a lot of federal workers are facing rent and mortgage payments). He could have stuck to his guns a lot longer and a lot more people would be hurt (and a lot worse). You don't have to give him credit for being the one to throw in the towel, but I do. It's not enough credit to give me an overall favorable view of his job as president (if I were polled, I'd be one of those disapproving of the job he's doing). But it's a step in the right direction as far a I am concerned. If he works with Congress and negotiates border security with them (as in real negotiations of give and take) that would be another favorable step in my opinion.

yeah i would be surprised if this is not his plan at this point
I really hope that Trump knows if he backs down on this that a lot of his base voters might have urgent business on November 3, 2020, like taking a dump or something, and not bother to vote.
Yet, Trump dug himself in and once Nancy Pelosi was sworn in as Speaker she pretty much owned him on this. There are no two ways about this. President Trump could not even get back to the 1.6 billion dollars Dems originally agreed to back in Nov.
That is getting abused politically and I don’t see how this benefits the argument of securing the border or playing to Trump’s base. The die-hard Trump supporters just watched him get owned by Pelosi in the State of the Union showdown and now this in just 24 hours.
Just goes to show that he cares more about those out of work than spoiled Pelosi does....politically it's a win for Trump, although I'd rather see all those bearocratsfired and just pay the security services except the bloated unnecessary TSA.
Gee, you made me a little dizzy there from all that spinning you did ! Face it, marine guy, your boy FOLDED. He started this mess, and he was backed into a corner and had to abandon his stupid wall.
To see it any other way is simply Trumpee logic, which is no logic at all.
