Ds deliver a big FUCK YOU to tRump by REDUCING border funding in new bill

Today’s deal includes a significant REDUCTION in the $ that was included in the December bill to support border security.

So after his temper tantrums, after shutting down the government for a month, tRump ends up with LESS money for border security than he would have had had he signed the deal in December.

Worst. Negotiator. Ever!

All he has left is lying, telling the rubes that he’s already building his imaginary wall.

...also emboldens Senate Dems and stiffens their spines. Why do you think Chuck Schumer has that Cheshire Cat smile?

Trump is most definitely a loser.

Dems and Reps agreed to $1.7 Billion for fencing in December, it made it to Trump’s desk. He refused to sign it and then shut the government down. Now the Dems and Reps agreed to $1.375 Billion for fencing.

Nancy not only didn’t give an inch, she took a mile.

This is less than they were offering 2 months ago AND it's not for a fucking wall. It's the same kind of fencing that was being built under Pres Obama. Donnie loses again but dems like you seem determined to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory.

I think he wants to make California pay . . . just because. And I don't think California will let him.

They had a better deal negotiated and sent it to Trump's desk after which he called Hannity and Coulter and then stabbed the Reps in the back. I think it was the Republicans who made sure it was a worse deal than before. They had to show Trump what he did was not right by them.
