He has been more than fair in all of this. Perhaps dems may want to take a look in the mirror if they want to find childish, self-serving behavior.



I detect a lot of mock sarcasm in this post.

Their plan for everything is to sufficiently manipulate voters so that they can steal back power of the country. That's their plan.

And they wonder why the country is so divided.

Trump's useless wall is a nonstarter.

Border security they are will to work with him.

But his wall is going nowhere.

Senators So Murkowski, Collins, Gardner, and McCarthy are already saying that they are ready to end the shutdown.

Friday is payday.

Won't be long now.

These replies are hilarious. Why should the Dems negotiate with this guy who they have MADE deals with, and which he has welshed upon 2 hours later?

Donald Trump absolutely does not negotiate in good faith, is not a man of his word and uses childish threats to 'negotiate.'

Trump doesn't even care about the wall, and he is receiving horrible advice--like reading that lame piece of paper last night. Waste of time and he was half asleep.

You mean the Democrats who controlled all branches of government last year. Oh, wait.... See, blaming the party who did not control any branch of government kinda makes you look silly and out of touch

What is Trump's plan fir border security? There have been no specifics mentioned. He doesn't even know from one day to the next if it's a barrier, a fence or a wall Or if it's steel slats, concrete or styrofoam.

Yup, women have learned how to stand up to bullies. Notice who the Republican senators are who are peeling away.

Politics is not the same as business. When you have a insular family business and others want what you're selling, you can demand what you want. Not the case now. Border security, sure, but carried out with intelligence.

"I alone can fix it" does not represent what our Constitution stands for.
