Trump will take his 50 miles of new fence and claim that is what he wanted all alongFrom NPR:
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., one of the negotiators working on the deal, told reporters after Monday evening's meeting that both sides had to give some.
"Not a single one of us going to get every single thing we want but nobody does. But we're going to get what is best for the United States," Leahy said.
Shelby says White House staff was kept apprised of the talks but none of the top negotiators would say if they have any guarantees that President Trump will sign the deal. "We think so, we hope so," Shelby said when pressed about whether the president would back the proposal.
Shelby told reporters that he believes Congress can approve the legislation and send it to Trump for his signature before the Friday night deadline to avert another partial shutdown.
That right there tells me the Democrats are up to their old tricks; trying to screw the Republicans and saying they did everything the could.
If Trump doesn't get his fence/ walls/ barriers, he should tell Democrats the price just went up to 10 billion, and the government will stay shutdown until the day he leaves office if that's what it takes.
