Donald Trump's plan to end the government shutdown will not work

But the plan, negotiated in the White House and between Republicans, has never attracted the support of Democrats because it does not meet their concerns. And the Democrats insist that the government reopen its doors before the start of discussions on thorny issues of immigration.

It is unlikely that Trump's proposal will force 800,000 federal employees to leave their pay check. So the question is whether the president will do a better job of getting the democrats to blame his current closure on the group.

In many ways, Trump's approach is familiar. Last month, the president triggered a crisis by shutting down the government in a last-ditch attempt to get taxpayers' money for a wall crucial for his political status and for which he had ensured that Mexico would pay.

Then, as on other subjects, like his trade wars with his US allies, he proposes a plan to end a crisis he has caused that does not solve the whole problem, but that he can sell as much as everyone should register.

Trump certainly gave the impression of moving towards the Democrats by offering a three-year stay of deportation for undocumented migrants brought to the United States in childhood and for the protection of thousands of other migrants.

And by calling his wall "steel barriers located in high priority locations" in the speech and not a concrete slab ranging from "sea to sea shining", the president also seemed to soften his stances.

His plan allows the more traditional Republicans to badert that he is making an effort and that the Pelosi Democrats are opposed to the reopening of the government.

"I think the decision of the president was bold," said Sunday representative Adam Kinzinger, Republican of Illinois, to CNN. "For the Democrats to reject it simply because there is a barrier – come back with a counter-proposal that is serious at that time, but not one that says it's a counter-proposal but in no way will we talk about a barrier. "

Right game

Trump spent Sunday sending tweets to protect his right flank by denying his plan, which equates to an amnesty for immigrants covered by the Deferred Action Plan for Child Arrivals.

And he tried to pressure Pelosi – insulting his hometown.

"Nancy Pelosi behaved so irrationally and went so far to the left that she officially became a radical democrat.She is so petrified by the" leftists "of her party that she lost control … And from elsewhere, cleans the streets of San Francisco, they are disgusting! "he tweeted.

Pelosi, in the last fight in their power struggle, which will define Washington for the next two years, tweeted Trump, although she dismissed her insults, a sign that Democrats still believe that they occupy a position stronger.

"@realDonaldTrump, 800,000 Americans go without pay, reopen the government, let the workers get their pay back and then we can discuss how we can come together to protect the border." #EndTheShutdown, "tweeted the California Democrat.

She did not even wait for Trump's speech on Saturday to call him a non-starter.

The Democrats believe that the Trump Plan meets its highest priority – the wall – but offers little in return. The wall would be permanent, while the protection of the recipients of the DACA would be temporary and that they could again be held hostage.

And it is the president himself who ended the DACA and the temporary protection of some immigrants from other nations. He therefore proposes a short-term reprieve in a limbo that he himself has created. If the White House had offered permanent protection on the path of citizenship, its offer would have seduced the Democrats – but it would have caused a fire storm among Trump's grbadroots voters.

"My counter-offer would be what we put on the table a year ago and voted to, protect all dreamers, protect the GST status," said the Democratic senator and new presidential candidate of 2020, Kirsten Gillibrand, about CNN's "State of the Union".

"As Democrats, we certainly care about national security and border security," said Gillibrand, adding that she would vote for total border security, but not for the Trump Wall, a distinction that could possibly be specified in any final agreement chance to declare victory.

But the ultimate goal of the Democrats is for Trump to open the government before the immigration talks can begin. Otherwise, the fear is that he can use the same tactic to inflict a majority majority in the House of Democrats in the future.

The party also knows that Trump wants nothing more than going back to his constituents in the 2020 election and saying that he has kept his promise to build the wall – even if it's from a hollow version of his original vision.

Democrats also see the latest offer as a simple effort by the White House to ease Trump's political burden. They are not motivated to let him go.

"I think the Vice President and the President know that what the President announced yesterday would go nowhere," said Californian Democrat representative Adam Schiff in the show "Face the Nation" from CBS.

"It was not intended to do that, I think it was an effort to maintain the disappointing number of polls of the president.This did nothing to bring us closer. "

The return of McConnell

The question that will arise in the coming days is whether the Democrats can hold the high political scene or if voters who are not fully aware of the intricacies of closure will see Trump make an effort and begin to blame more equitably the President and his opponents.

The policy of closure could also be altered by the reappearance of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after weeks of unusual invisibility.

The Kentucky Republicans have pledged to present to the Senate this week the Trump offer as well as other incentives for moderate Democratic senators to break with their party line.

Phil Mattingly, of CNN, reported on Saturday that the package will include an extension of the Violence Against Women Act as well as the President's plan for hundreds of millions in search-aids technologies humanitarian aid and drug detection.

For Senate Republicans, the Trump proposal has the merit of allowing them to unite to open the government and could ease the concerns of some moderate members who fear the impact of the closure of the 2020 elections.

Democrats will oppose the fact that the House has already voted in favor of reopening the government, but the Senate has refused to take any action that Trump would not sign.

Democratic House leaders are planning their own vote on a new plan this week to add an extra $ 1 billion to border security, not including the wall. Like Trump's plan, it is unlikely to end, but it will help refute claims that they are weak at the border.

As each chamber takes dual measures to end the closure and the president continues to badert his position, it will again seem that Washington is playing its political games and ignoring the victims of the closure.

But just maybe, a period of legislative maneuver could possibly produce a slight overlap of position on either side, which could pave the way for Capitol Hill fudge.

It may take a little while, a fact that will not console federal workers who are victims of their own government.
