Realistically he won't. One of two things will happen. One side will give in rather quickly, probably within a week. Or, Congress will pass a CR as is, no funding, send it to the president to veto. It will then go back to Congress and they'll vote to over ride his veto. This will probably be over within a week or two tops.
There really is no safety net for these folks...there's a lot I can do to help the guys who work for me...K9 Handlers take care of our own...but the average Joe working a checkpoint is going to be desperate by mid to late January. As I've said, the Dems are causing this and as far as I'm concerned, only the Dems can fix this by giving Trump his wall funding. There is no other solution. And thank God for Trump...either of the Bush's (our last 2 GOP Presidents) would have folded like a cheap suit by this point. Virtually all of the other GOP 2016 candidates would have folded as well with perhaps the exception of Cruz...and he could never have won the general election. Trump will fight on like a bull on fire...THAT is why we elected the man, and he understands this. He cannot fold without caving his presidency, so he won't. The Dems can live to fight another day...so they will...eventually.
I hope President Trump tweets tomorrow morning that he wants the entire $25 Billion. ...and promises to hire the same company that fixed the Central Park ice-rink for him, under budget, from years ago.
But wait! This can't be true!!I saw several lengthy threads filled with concern about him caving already.... reducing his requested amount.... offering amnesty as a trade-off...
That's just crap people who are not insane say. Don't listen to it.
Trump isn't the one keeping the government shut down. Chuck Schumer is.

I keep reading this story and it sounds like Fake News. I can't find a direct quote from Trump about the shutdown lasting for years. I think the Democrats said he said it. I trust the Democrats about as much as I trust Trump.
I hope he vows Mexico and Pelosi will pay for the wall twice.
My sympathies are with the thousands of Americans suffering & dying from the flow of drugs and illegals into the country
All cash remittances to Mexico and Central America are taxes at 25%.$25B paid back in two years. Cough...by the Mexicans.
