Wasn't that the original number already offered for security not necessarily the wall? Or really close to it?

But isn't Trump the proverbial street fighter, hero for American truth and Justice, unafraid of Democrat bullies, outsmarting them at every turn and unafraid of any fight? :roll: :lamo

But wait our resident Trump acolytes are on this thread. Let's see what they have to say!!! NOT!

They're hiding after spending 2 days humiliating themselves with posts about Flynn being entrapped by the FBI. The rest are at WalMart stocking up on adult diapers.

$1.6 billion which, if I recall, is exactly what Pelosi and Schumer offered for major fence repairs.

Fake nooz! He's the great negotiator. The strongest man in the world. He was sent by God to ensure that the Republicans get what they want and never, ever compromise with Chuck and Nancy!

The entire wall will cost less than 1% of the Federal budget. Cost complaints are a red herring. The people would don't want the wall care nothing about cost. They don't want it because they know it will work quite effectively. That includes Democrats harvesting future votes and businesses getting cheap labor. The elites decide what we get, not the voters.

Yup. Between that, Flynn, and now this, he's had the ****tiest day in a long series of ****ty days. Couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow.

What a fighter...what a man. Wow, I would be sooooooo lucky to have Donald Duck in the Foxhole next to me. NOT!!!!!!

Getting down to the brass tacks of a worthwhile opinion I can offer here, I have to think somebody finally got to Trump and made him understand that he stuck his foot so far down his own throat in that halfassed mess of a meeting with Pelosi and Schumer that he really did not have an option here.

He DID NOT have the votes even in the House as Pelosi had said to his face and he could well be shutting down the portions of the government that are unfunded for weeks on end and not end up one step farther down the road than if he just took the $1.6B being offered him, shut up and have a Merry Christmas! Trump is being forced to cut his losses and run off to Mar-a-lago for the holiday.

How could Trump have come out as a winner in your opinion? By compromising, you call him a loser, so if he had stuck with his original demands and the government "shut down", he'd be a winner?

maybe he should stop pushing loser policies then??

Um we are not voting on the wall and if you voted for Trump b/c of the wall, this isn't what you had in mind. So you shouldn't vote for him again. Face it. He screwed up big time!!!! He couldn't negotiate a deal with Chuck and Nancy and pretty much gave them everything they wanted.
