Trump set himself up for failure on the shutdown, unless he's serious about immigration
by Eddie Scarry
December 16, 2018 02:03 PM If President Trump caves on his demand for funding to start on his on-again-off-again border wall, he might as well just go back home to New York and let his daughter run the White House for the rest of his term.
Trump last week proudly declared during an Oval Office meeting with Democratic leaders Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., that he would own any partial government shutdown if Congress doesn’t allot him $5 billion for a border wall.
Setting aside that we no longer have any clue what Trump means when he says “wall,†he has set himself up for a painfully easy failure. Unless he’s serious.
