I think the facts bear it out, Trump caved.  Sure, he’s gonna push for his wall and such, but I predict that it will face a flurry of lawsuits and judge’s ruling he can’t do it, and it will go through the rest of his term in office, much like the travel ban did, and not much will get done with it.

Too many people in politics and those that follow them want to say and believe whatever they want to believe but facts are stubborn things.  After President Donald Trump caved by reopening the government without his wall funding, and yes it was a cave which I will demonstrate shortly, Democrats rejoiced and gloated over it.  However, Trump was quick to claim that he had not conceded anything, but the question is, is that true?

First, let’s listen to what President Trump has said in the past about the government shutdown and how it will continue until he gets wall funding from Congress.

Back in the middle of December 2018, after Republicans lost the House of Representatives, but were able to hold onto the US Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and President Trump met in front of the cameras for a WWE-style shouting match over funding the border wall on the US border wall with Mexico.

Here’s a reminder in living color.

Trump states clearly that he’s going to shutdown the government until he gets the funding from Congress for the wall.

‘I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country don’t want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I will take the mantle,’ he said. ‘I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn’t work. I will take the mantle of shutting down.’

Well, he did shut it down, the longest in history.

Just a few days later, he let Congress know he wouldn’t sign their bill because it didn’t include border wall funding, and issued these tweets.

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!

Notice, the George H. W. Bush-esque statement, “I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security.”  He means, unless it contains funding for the wall.

He then reminded us of his promise to never sign anything like the omnibus bill he signed in his first year in office if it didn’t have border wall funding.
