How to deal with a tantrum

Let's make a few deals

For every day he holds the country hostage;
The House should pass a new funding bill, removing those items that are dearest to him

#1 90% tax rates imposed on Health insurance companies and their stock holders profits
#2 The "tax breaks" , start removing them for anyone that makes over $1 Million a year. 10% per day
#3 The Defense Budget , Remove funding for 1 aircraft carrier per day
#4 Include in the bill, a measure that makes the Presidents current and past tax returns public information
$5 Massive gun control measures as outlined by the Parkland Kids
#6 remove all funding for travel outside DC by him or his children except for Approved trips

That alone would be worth it.

Second, it would be the Democratic House controlling the conversation.

Third, if they stick to their guns, they will have more bargaining power.
