Negotiating is a two way street and it only works with someone who’s word you can trust. They gave him everything he asked for in the budget, then he changed his mind, now he won’t budge. That cannot be negotiated with.
Trump said he would "own" the shutdown and used the word "proud" to have a shutdown. He wants his Wall, and that is the end of his position. No more discussions about a compromise that would result in effective border security.
But, his supporters need to blame the Democrats; and is the end of it for them. No matter what is said, his supporters will will not be swayed by what is actually happening.
Waste of words.
