So, the BEST the 'great negotiator' can do is throw a hissy fit and hold American workers hostage until he gets his way?
Pathetic!
Trump is trying to negotiate. It's the Democrats who say, "5 billion is a non-starter". So Trump said he'd go 2.5 billion and the Dems still said no. The Dems want to use this as a political football to shame Trump into admitting defeat. That's all they care about.

Nope, I heard it right out of the dummy's mouth, 5+ billion or no deal.
"Why is Congress keeping the government shut down over 5 Billion Dollars that would help the country by tightening security at the border? There are 6000 Central and South American migrants in Tijuana alone waiting to pour into the US illegally and that number will rise exponentially as thousands of Venezuelans flee their homeland every day. Congress has a problem with 5 billion dollars for a wall but they have no problem spending 14.7 billion in pork on their own pet projects that are designed solely to keep their constituents happy and them in office. Does anyone see a problem with this?"
Then I would have replied - the majority of illegal aliens overstay their visas and the majority of illegal drugs come in at ports of entry, so Trump, you don't have a leg to stand on to obtain $5 billion for an unnecessary wall. It is a waste of money. Security can be tightened at the border without $5 billions for a wall.
And, Trump, if you use a national emergency have the military build a wall at a cost of $20 billion, we will see you in court so fast it will make your head spin. Also no 'Winter WH' this year at Fla golf resort--enjoy DC and your government shutdown!

wow, check that out ... It can be done, the fact is they won't go forward and are stonewalling the whole process with the shutdown and funding. The power is in the Congressional house, not the White House.
Wow, like, I think we all know what "can" be done. Going into law without the President's signature is not the same thing as a veto. The President's signature merely accelerates making it official. Anything passed by Congress becomes law unless the President issues a veto.

Not what I heard.

Trump makes $1.5B request for border wall
President Trump will ask Congress for $1.5 billion this year to begin work on the wall he promised to build at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The money is part of a $30 billion supplemental spending request that’s being sent to lawmakers on Thursday, according to White House budget director Mick Mulvaney.
That was almost two years ago. How many times has he changed his mind since then? Too many times to count. Which is one reason the Democrats know they can't negotiate with him. They have brokered deals with him before, only to have him renege at the last minute. What's the use in even trying to negotiate with him when they can't trust him to hold up his end of the bargain?
The budget is $3,800 billion.
It costs $49 billion to educate the 1 million foreign born school age kids who attend school here illegally.
5 billion is not much.
Build it.
2/3 of the border that run through Texas is on privately owned lands. Do you support the federal government seizing those privately owned lands to build a wall not even the majority of Texans want?

Wrong. Trump has demanded $5 billion, no less. Pence offered $2.5 billion and Trump found out and said Pence had no right to negotiate, the price is $5 billion no less. Dems have tried numerous time to negotiate but as said before, Trump changes his mind more times than a baby changes a diaper. You can't negotiate with someone like that.
