Trump owns the stop. And he agrees with that.

Judgment of the Government

The President spent the weekend defining his post and collaborators declare to accept a closure which could be prolonged.

President Donald Trump is now the "proud" owner of a government closure – the third – and it does not seem s & # 39;

The threat of a prolonged closure is much less worrying for the President of the White House and his allies, Trump spent the weekend weekend looking for his position behind closed doors, to meet conservateu uncompromising and Trump's allies. reporting through his principal collaborators that he could bear a cl

Mick Mulvaney, Acting Chief of Staff of the White House, set the bar on Sunday.

"I do not think things will happen. act very quickly here for the next few days, "he told Fox in an interview with Fox News.

The holiday stop comes amidst a series of tumultuous backwaters of the Cabinet – Trump announced Sunday that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis would leave earlier than expected – a stock market defeat and Republican Congress turbulence over president's decision to withdraw troops from Syria and reduce US presence in Afghanistan

In the midst of all this confusion, Trump takes up a supporter's mantle that he sees as a unifying factor for the right: the Border Warrior.

Rep. Mark Meadows (RN.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, compared Trump's stance to the Battle of Alamo, claiming that the historic struggle between the Texans and the victorious Mexicans is being recalled "not because they have won over there, [but] because they fought. over there.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (CS), who had lunch with Trump and Meadows on Saturday at the White House, said the Democrats and their leaders were the reason why the country was engaged in prolonged confrontation.

"Sen. Schumer, we're not going to give up the wall," Graham said later Saturday, referring to Senate House Leader, Minority Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.). "We're going to build a wall, and to all those Americans who want us to abandon the wall and open the border, that's what this fight is all about. "

The president's aides, in private, tried without conviction to blame the Democrats – despite the comments made by them. leader earlier this month in the oval office, that he would be proud to close the government for border security, suggesting that the American people were with him on the issue.

who considers the wall of the southern borderas a "total winner", even as polls show that the majority of Americans do not support the structure, preparing to tell senior government officials to say it was "very clear" about its expectations "We are open to many different options in this direction," said one of the officials.

Mulvaney Said d Sunday, the president's wall claims were "absolutely necessary".

Republicans do not rank uniformly. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee blamed Trump for not avoiding this partial halt, rejecting his tough bargaining stance on immigration as "a fight invented so that the president may seem to be fighting ".

Trump did not voluntarily arrive at his last choice to sue the wall at all costs. Last week he was the victim of lethal attacks by conservatives – including commentators and Fox News animators – who urged the president to veto a Senate-approved bill without financing, which would have prevented the closure of the country.

Republicans close to the president. stated that he was shocked by the quick reaction, especially considering everything he had done so far, and that he had come to consider this pivotal moment as his best and most perhaps the last chance to extract considerable funding from the wall.

the closure became a reality, some councilors urged Trump to focus entirely on the border and the intransigence of the Democrats, despite their support for similar security funds before it became President. An ally said the goal was to focus the conflict on who is with Trump and who is against him. As Graham has said, "It's about that they hate Trump so much, wanting to make him lose, they can not understand that America has to win."

Trump's re-election campaign quickly jumped at random. to capitalize on the impasse and portray him as an authentic guardian of promises. The One Trump campaign has seduced Democrat Democrats as insensitive to American security. "FIGHT BACK," he implored. "Make a donation to become an official member of Build the Wall." And other groups supported by Trump broadcast ads and circulate petitions to Republicans.

For the president, the wall of the border is much more than a structure, admits the allies. The White House has long seen its promise "Building the Wall" as an indicator that its initial promises alone could lead it with the voters it will need to secure reelection.

"The wall is important, but not the underlying. an anti-immigrant message that is key, "said a former White House official.

In addition to saying that Mexico would pay for the wall – an objective maintained by the administration is still viable, even if it is likely retroactively – other major claims of Trump remain dissatisfied and look more and more doubtful.

During his 2016 campaign, Trump felt that he would complete the boundary wall in its entirety within two years of its beginning. "We will start quickly," he added. "And it will be a real wall."

While the wall has not yet come to fruition, the president fills the void with more words.

Trump repeatedly boasts of the amount of wall already lost. built, even if little or no building was built, let alone during his presidency. To maintain their presence during the mid-term elections, the assistants distributed signs bearing the words "Finish the wall".

Long before the Conservatives' recent reaction, the president's team identified a threat: its supporters were beginning to doubt its ability to deliver the message.

Although Trump can continue to point fingers at Congress, which has given him only a fraction of what he wants for border security, another person close to the President said the fundraising exercise by the government was an area in which he was. the ultimate word.

For now, it is a leverage function that the recognized ally of Democrats has.
