WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump stalked out of his negotiating meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday — "I said bye-bye," he tweeted soon after — as efforts to end the 19-day partial government shutdown fell into deeper disarray over his demand for billions of dollars to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers now face lost paychecks on Friday.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works! 12:34 PM - 9 Jan 2019

If Schumer and Pelosi were smart their answer to the President’s question would have been, “We don’t know. That’s what negotiations are for.” By being completely inflexible they may well be overplaying their hand.
I'm happy to see others are catching on to this milquetoast RINO.
They are trying to govern as though Dems control the Senate and White House as well. They don’t - and Republicans can’t help because they only control the Senate, while an “American Nationalist” sits in the White House.
Glad I missed that. I might have thrown something at the tv. Brian is not a Trump supporter.
Now he has nothing but grandstanding, threats, and insults.

He just said the same thing a few minutes ago.
What the Democrats will do comes down to a RISK/REWARD evaluation.
How much is at risk by not funding the wall?
How much reward is there if President Trump caves?
In the beginning there was little risk if, and that was a big if, the President caved early on since there would be a good chance his (the President’s) supporters, would turn against him.
However, once it becomes clear the President is not going to cave, the risk to the Democrats (especially Pelosi) grows each day.
The President loses only if he caves.
The Democrat lose if the President does not cave and the shutdown continues. Each day more pressure is going to be put on the Democrat leadership to give the President what he is asking for.
It should be noted that the 24/7 hate coverage from the left and the main stream media has inoculated President Trump from media pressure and it has muted their voice since the American people have suffered for almost three years of Trump hate from the media.
They all need to go back and re-read the story of the BOY WHO CALLED WOLF.
He’s been kinder to these hateful back stabbers who lie about him all the time .. than I would be!
After so long at being maligned and hated and never recognizing anything good.. I’d be in the revenge mode.
Kilmeade has a radio show now and replaced Ingraham in the timeslot on a Vegas radio station that I pick up here in the mountains. I never could stand him. His show won’t last long.
FNC has only one problem left to solve. The three hours between 8 and 11 PM weeknights.
And it’s working on that.
Yet more evidence that when Rush goes, AM radio will become a dustbin. I'm glad Kilmeade has taken his mask off. He makes skin crawl.
You can always count on GOP’s Witches of Eastwick to sour a good time along with their pet Swamp RINOs. Now they have mitt... Those will be Skittle $hitting Unicorns making a mess of the Mall.
I’m with you. Brian makes some really stupid comments and Ainsley is just too sweet for my taste. Love Steve.
Reminiscent of Reagan at the Reykyavik summit when the Russians came in expecting the U.S. to give them everything they demanded without a fight, since that how Carter rolled. After listening to their demands, Reagan just leaned over and said ‘Nyet’ and then walked out.
Rock on, President Trump.
90% of gummit workers are Dem which is going to be Dumb and Dingbat’s problem.
Kilmede hates Trump, something about youth soccer and Trump snubbing him.
He’s been hammering our domestic enemies on twitter since walking out.
Really nice to see.
