Trump on reopening the government before finding a resolution to wall funding: "Well, that was a suggestion that Lindsey made, but I did reject it, yes. I'm not interested. I want to get it solved. I don't want to just delay it. I want to get it solved." pic.twitter.com/RSJNc34afo— TPM Livewire (@TPMLiveWire) January 14, 2019
Kind of like not denying he's influenced by Russia, Trump here doesn't mention his "escape" plan of declaring the wall a "national emergency" and ending the crisis he has caused. One could say he's now rejecting that option, too, because he knows it will only go to court and that won't "get it solved."
He's in the round room trying to find the corner he's been told to sit in.
I would have bet last week Trump would "solve" this problem by declaring himself King. I'm not so sure he isn't just going to dig in deeper until even the Senate has to override his veto. That's beginning to look like the only way out, now.
