Trump Digs In on Border Wall
November 28, 2018 at 8:16 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Playbook: “Not only does Trump seem a bit more dug in than before, he sounds more convinced than ever that the wall fight is good for him — something that Republican leaders have traditionally pushed back on. This means Democrats and Republicans are billions apart at the outset of the lame-duck session.”
“Plus, the president said the $5 billion he wants is just for the wall. Republicans, though, believe they can spread the $5 billion out over some time — but he told House Republican leaders he wasn’t happy about that either. If he doesn’t get $5 billion somehow, a shutdown seems almost unavoidable.”
