Breaking: Trump Backs Down On Border Wall Government Shutdown

Lawrence O'Donnell is reporting on this right now.
Are you implying that the "Master Negotiator" hasn't negotiated a deal with Mexico to pay for the wall?

Oh, that's right, the "Master Negotiator" hasn't negotiated one fucking thing since he took office.
 
It was a dopey idea to begin with because he was insisting that Mexico will pay for his wall. Then he wanted the American taxpayers to pay for it. The man is a clown.
Sure they will. Close the border off 100%. When the billions of $$$ in US industry returns to the United States...winner, winner, chicken dinner.
What you write is not what Trump said about building the best wall ever seen and Mexico will pay for it. The clown is a demented pathological liar and those who defend his nonsense cannot be taken with any more seriousness than Trump deserves.

You lost.

Suck on it.
 
A common response/deflection from Trump supporters is they won, we lost and we need to get over it. They control everything. We lost everything.

Yet here we are on the sidelines watching them in the driver's seat and they can't even come together as a party even though they have the majority.

Amen! And we're just trying to give them the same level of support they gave President Obama.
 
Analysis | Trump races an imaginary deadline to get his border wall on track
...

As The Washington Post's Kelsey Snell and Robert Costa report, the White House is leaning on congressional Republicans to use the threat of a government shutdown Friday to win funding for Trump's long-promised wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The idea is simple: Lawmakers in both parties want to keep the government open past April 28, when the current budget resolution expires. Trump would force them to include funding for his wall in a spending measure designed to avoid a shutdown next week. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney has suggested Trump would refuse to sign a spending bill that did not include funding for a wall. (The president himself hasn't gone as far, as you'll read later in the newsletter.)

By tying the wall's funding to critical legislation, Trump might be able to sidestep lawmakers' concerns about spending money — as much as $21.6 billion, according to experts — on the wildly controversial project

The Washington Compost =Fake News!
 
Reporting negative stories about Trump does not make it fake news. If anything, I see an argument could be made to trust the mainstream media, not distrust them.
 
I wonder how many would still have voted for Trump if they found out they might have to pay for it instead of Mexico.

Yet they accuse liberals of wanting free stuff.

Yeah, because millions and millions of unvetted foreigners just waltzing across the border is noooooo problem....

They just want to return to their stolen homeland.


SO, you don't respect border changes even after 200 years?

Just how much war do you WANT? You blood thirsty monster.

Oh you should see them, coming in by the droves, they looked hungry, thirsty, tired. We brought them in for the night. That Jesus thing you know.


THey wouldn't have been hungry, thirsty and tired, if they had stayed home instead of crossing a desert.

Your complete lack of concern for your fellow AMERICANS, is noted. YOu are a traitor.
 
A wise move by Trump
You don't start political battles you can't win

Deferring the wall till a more opportune time saves him the embarrassment of being defeated now

Trump will get his wall. He will get some token project that he can do a photo-op on and then declare victory
We will have basically the wall we have now and Trump will claim we are now safe
 
Breaking News on MSNBC. Trump backing down from budget standoff over border wall funding. No link yet.
There is already 11 billion dollars appropriated for the wall and or border security that Obama would not use. So don;t hold your breath kid

Well, you pitiful dumbass, at least he backed down from shutting the government down over it.

That's because he knows that if the government shuts down, and part of the reason is because of the rider for the wall, well.............he's gonna catch some if not most of the blame.

Wow....................I think this is the first time in US history that the government was on the verge of shutting down only 100 days after the new president is inaugurated.
Democrats will be blamed by real Americans. News media will try to blame Trump. But we know the tead MSM has on regular folks. Remember election night. Stand your ground Donald. They will pass emergency spending bill and operate for a time without full budget.
Democrats will be blamed by real Americans

For what?

Trump doesn't even have support for the wall from his own majority.
 
A majority of Americans don't want the wall (59%) and do not want to pay for the wall (63%).
So, how does that give Trump any advantage?
Poll: Americans oppose Trump’s wall, easing regulations


A majority of the nation wants unvetted outsiders to be able to just walk into this nation any time they want?


I find that hard to believe.

That has never happened.

I hope they fucking die crossing.

^A morally bankrupt conservative. Who would have guessed?
