I didn't want this. I voted for Bernie and Hillary thank you very much. This isn't exactly a liberal haven.

Don't need the racist policy, but the racism itself may as well stick though.

Its just really hilarious. He droned on and on about how Mexico would be paying for the wall. Not once on the campaign trail did he say I'm going to need your tax payer dollars up front first!
Lies.
Lies.
"What's this? A border for ants?!""1.5 billion dollars" to build the wall.
Hah, sure.
"Mr. President, the wall is done, but uh, in order to meet your requirement for 'beautiful wall' we had to cut some corners."
MEXICO'S GONNA PAY FOR THE WALL
Mexico - "nah"
WE'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT FOR NOW AND GET MEXICO TO PAY US BACK
Mexico - "still nah"
Democrats - "nah"
OK WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT FOR A WHILE, PLEASE JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING HERE
Dems hopefully - "nah"
He's truly the master of negaotiations

I don't get why Trump doesn't just go on twitter and tweet something like, "The super duper wall is complete, it's the tallest and biggest and most beautiful wall that's ever been created!"
His supporters eat up all his other lies anyway, why wouldn't they believe this too?

Does the man really not understand what it means to have no leverage in a negotiation? It's amusing how the Dems have gone from powerless to sitting in a corner and just letting this dude hang himself with his own words. Not that his base will give a shit either way but still.....

And this is the fucking Democrats we're talking about, here. They don't even have that strong of a negotiating position right now (they control nothing!) and have a long history of bitching out at the first sign of internal dissent or the potential to have to stay at work late enough to miss the early bird special.
I mean, they're basically the worst negotiators in the world. Second worst, apparently.
700D blindfolded underwater backgammon.
It's not that he's negotiating with us. It's he's having problems even getting members of his own party on board. The GOP can't govern and Trump is a fucking terrible negotiator.
Trump's position is deteriorating by the day, if Schumer plays this smart he can be the guy that adverted a shutdown and get a bunch of Dem initiatives funded in addition. This is all while making Trump look like a goddamned moron.

Example #9483290243 (just from the Trump administration) as to why starting out from the most extreme position possible in negotiations doesn't work. Democrats had no incentive to say yes to this.

Trump: DEMOCRATS! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! HEALTHCARE! WALL
Schumer: Shhh Grandpa, go back to Mar A Lago now.
Trump: Grumble Grumble Grumble
They should allocate for him exactly one cent

So
1.Mexico is going to pay for it
2.Mexico is going to pay for it through import taxes
3.Mexico, at some poiint in the future, may pay for it some of it
4.I'll settle for some extra security
Master negotiator, the art of the deal on display here. It's particularly impressive when you take into account his other wins like with healthcare, tax reform, and muslim bans.

I love the phrase 'this go around'. Like they think they are going to get border security money AND the wall money later.

The best dealmaker in history!
The ridiculous shitnisnhe probably could have gotten that done if he didn't start with holding the health care subsidies hostage for the wall, or campaigned on this big crazy wall.
Something small ball like "more money for border security" probably could have gotten through but e played hardball in a way where the democrats can't reasonably give an inch

Don't forget his hardline negotiations with China, who are now going to do nothing about North Korea and are no longer currency manipulators or aggressors in the South China Sea.

He's using those sick AI negotiating tactics.
"Give me all your cities and luxuries if you want peace!"
--2 Turns Later--
"Okay, give me one crappy border city and I'll call it a day."
--2 Turns Later--
"Give me some chocolate and we're square."
--2 Turns Later--
"Take all my cities but my capital and just leave me alone."

illegal immigrants are stealing our air
and once again reality puts Trump in his place
If "usual" you mean standard order modern Republicanism, laced with the typical atrocious hate for lower income and racism, only tied to an idea even more dumb and politically incompetent than usual, sure!
Somehow though Im sure you just thought you were being clever when you tried to carry water for Trump for the 9,389th post and once again failed miserably.

I'll think they will give him the inch but I don't expect anything radical in the budget like the cancellation of all the programs like AmeriCorps, and PBS. I actually expect it to be more or less the same because the republicans can't face the media if they shut the government down on themselves.

Like I said before, the simplest way to fix this problem is for Trump to start a crowd fund for the wall.
Those that want the wall would pay for it. There would be no need to get the ACA involved in this. This could also spare programs like school lunches and meals on wheels.
