Donald Trump was sitting in disgust when Chuck Schumer said before him and the Press that Trump PROMISED his supporters and voters that Mexico would pay for the wall. Once outside the White House, he stressed that point again.
Nancy Pelosi called the impending shutdown..the Trump shutdown. She was not going to be bullied by this man.

He is the bankruptcy king after all.

More like a fence. That has already been partly built, you see. A fence, believe me.

encompasses the middle class paying the bill.

Put it in a bill, get it on the floor, debate it.
It would keep the ridiculous "Mexico will pay for it" lie front and center for weeks.

"How" does not matter to tRump. He is like a child in the grocery line throwing a tantrum because his parent won't buy him candy.
