Update: Trump’s offer to re-open the government is similar to what it was earlier. He doesn’t mind the fact that approximately 800,000 federal employees will miss their second paycheck.
Other than the fact that Trump is a terrible, racist, moron, he is a failure. Even though his promises during the elections were hateworthy, Republican supporters voted for him expecting he would build the wall for them. After failing with whatever he tried, he resorted to threatening lawmakers by shutting down the government. However, Democrats were in no mood to give up and pressured to re-open the government before any negotiations. Now, he is to make an announcement on the shut-down.
Hopefully he would give up.
