Art of the Deal, my ass. Bernie Sanders described it best "Pathetic.
On January 24, 2018 , one year and one day ago, Democrats offered Trump $20 billion for a wall. The Atlantic reported How Democrats Stopped Worrying and Learned to Accept Trump's Wall.
Vacuous and expensive. Pointless. Ineffective. Medieval. A non-starter. Over the last year, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has used each of those words, and many more, to denigrate the proposed southern border wall that President Trump made a centerpiece of his campaign.
But on Friday afternoon, as the hours ticked away toward a government shutdown, Schumer went to the White House and told Trump he could have his wall. “The president picked a number for the wall, and I accepted it,” Schumer recalled in the midst of the shutdown. He had agreed to a significant sum of money for the wall—reported to be $20 billion, though the Democrat’s office will neither confirm nor deny that figure—in exchange for Trump’s support of permanent protections for the nearly 700,000 young undocumented immigrants covered under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The White House ultimately rejected the offer, and later that night, Senate Democrats withheld their votes for a stopgap spending bill, leading to the three-day shutdown.
Wow - $20 Billion!
Do you think he would take that same deal today? I do, in a flash. But that same deal is not on the table today.
Trump, if he wants his $7 billion wall will have to declare a national emergency to get it.
McConnell was correct. There is no education in the second kick of a mule. But he too insisted on not sending a bill to Trump that Trump would not sign.
Trump had two years to negotiate a good deal. He got nothing .
