No means no.
Remember that Trump fundraised during the last SOTU, so if he doesn’t reopen the government, there will be another stunt.
President Trump offered that those who donate to reelection campaign on the day before his 2018 State of the Union address can have their name displayed during a Trump campaign-run livestream

In the afternoon hours of 29 January 2018, President Trump sent a text message to this supporters telling them that if they donated that day, their name would appear on the livestream of the State of the Union address hosted by his campaign website the following day:
DJT: The State of the Union speech is not about me. It’s about YOU. Which is why I will have the names of every supporter who contributes today broadcast during my speech on the Official DJT for President Livestream! Enough of the Fake News Media. It’s time for them to hear from the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Show how many Americans are dedicated to our movement! Contribute NOW and add your name to my Official List
“My response is we need to open up this government, period," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). "There’s no excuse for shutting down the people’s government. And there’s no reason why if we do it this time, he won’t do it every time we have a disagreement. It’s unacceptable.”

White House aides had encouraged the president to continue fighting to hold the speech in the House chamber because backing off would make it look like he gave in. But they've also been making contingencies for a speech outside of Washington, according to one of the White House officials, if he’s not able to give the speech in Congress. And outside advisers think an alternative speech outside of the Beltway would resonate with his base.
