If Trump and his remaining GOP goons would pass Medicare for all in exchange for a wall then I would say give him his damn wall and be done with it.

There is more a possibility of Trump scaling back Medicare than expanding it.

Gee. I think Ronald Reagan could have said the exact words in your first sentence, when he found the democrats didn't follow through on their promise to him regarding immigration.

Bob.

I'm guessing that Russia and Saudi Arabia may have made Trump offers he couldn't refuse.

The Dems answer to The Art Of The Deal is the "Art of the Squeal" :

Well, Constituents will eventually force GOP Senators to STOP supporting this POTUS on HIS personal vendetta!

Maybe McConnell is waiting for enough GOP Senators turn around and willing to VOTE against DJT and able to override that VETO!! It's not like Agreements with CIC'a word and promise means anything!

Personally, I don'tTrust Mitch McConnell as he has worked forever decade to BLOCKADE ANYTHING!!

Turtle Man needs to stop protecting his wife' s job and protect the "CONSTITUTION" versus protecting a increasing proven CIC!!

In January 2018 democrats offered Trump $25 billion dollars for a boarder wall, but Trump refused the $25 billion border wall deal.
The immigration deal Trump should've taken, but didn't | MSNBC

Donald Trump (the deal maker) refused the $25 billion dollar border wall funding deal, instead Trump waited for the $5 billion dollar border wall deal he is currently seeking.

Trump offered the Demwits amnesty for DACA recipients whom the Demwits had been wailing and handwringing over but they refused. He wants Congress to work on comprehensive immigration reform after he gets his wall money, which Dems are refusing. Negotiations involve more than one person. Some people have never negotiated their own salary or house price or car price. It isn't take it or leave it.
