He's trying to box us in, instead of him. He's put the monkey on his back to begin with, no one else did, and he's trying to put it (the monkey) on our back.

He, alone, did it. And even claimed ownership of it. He should arbitrarily resolve the issue since he alone, created the issue to begin with, that is, drop the 'wall' nonsense, and let Congress do their job.

Take care!

...so it's absurd that Democrats would be expected to accept it.

It's just Trump dictating down. He needs to learn that he's not king.

Nancy & Chuck will hold firm this time, I think... they have to know the blow back will be HUGE if they don't.

If anything, they should demand that the unconscionable walls that are already in place on the Mexican border be removed, but obviously, that's a little too much to expect. Just at least don't worsen the immorality that already exists.
