Donald John TrumpDems is preparing for the main battle. Trump and his family hold a Thanksgiving dinner during the Mar-a-Lago Trump-Roberts quarrel over Thanksgiving PLUS In an early tweet, the day after Thanksgiving, he had asked for funding for a wall at the southern border as part of a "major border security program."

Republicans and Democrats MUST finally unite with a major package of security measures at the border, which will include funding for the wall. After 40 years of discussions, the moment has finally come to action. Set the border, once and for all, NOW!

Trump left the door open for a possible government shutdown if an upcoming deal to finance parts of the government did not include funding for a border wall.

But the GOP lost the House in this month's midterm elections and Liberal lawmakers fiercely opposed Trump's long promised border wall funding.
Trump in another tweet touted the "bipartisan" opportunities for his other legislative priority, criminal justice reform.
