POTUS never caves though. How can you cave if you are in full control? Optics show he is reasonable and willing to negotiate but there is definitely more to this move. Why now?  Roger Stone arrested today, POTUS provides a temporary 21 day opening of the government under the guise for providing fed employees relief via receiving their current and back pay? SOTU address on Tuesday 29th? If no deal on border wall via congress, gov shuts down again and wall still gets built via national emergency.  A lot going on here but Trump caving has never occurred nor will it ever occur.  It’s also obvious that the D party is falling apart internally as they are being starved of “T_WASH” or tax payer money via illegal kickbacks from liberal government funded organizations. We may be watching a slow death of the D party and the fake news media.
