It looks like Nancy Pelosi gloated too soon when she took her victory lap after Congress decided to go with a short-term budget solution without funds for a wall.
Trump still has not decided if he will sign the short term solution and truthfully it doesn’t matter.
Trump still has many cards to play even with Pelosi taking over the House because she wants certain things to get done.
Nancy is a bureaucrat and wants to make deals and Trump has the power to veto but more importantly, he can drag GOP Senators along if he deems it worthy of his attention like he did with the crime bill.
There are many bipartisan deals to make and Chuck and Nancy know a divided government is the best way to make deals so Trump has more than enough leverage.
From Breitbart: President Donald Trump vowed Thursday not to sign any Democrat funding bills unless it included money for border security.
“What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure unless it has perfect Border Security,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
Trump accused Democrats of “putting politics over country” when it came to border security.
He did not comment on the continuing resolution passed by the Senate on Wednesday night to keep the government open.
Conservatives spent most of Wednesday begging the president to fight for border wall funding, even if it meant a partial shutdown of the government.
Trump claimed that border security forces were successfully keeping the border secure, specifically from caravans of migrants.
“Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way,” he wrote. “Border is tight. Fake News silent!”
The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country. What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!

With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE and our great Military. Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight. Fake News silent!

When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn’t happen! We foolishly fight for Border Security for other countries – but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not good!
