Shutting down the government means no foreign aid. Which means no kick-backs to Democrats. It also infuriates their base (government bureaucrats, poor underclass who won't get their food stamps or housing).
And Trump has billions of dollars to play with from the Omnibus Budget which fully funds the military, and can declare a state of an emergency at any time.

At that point, the liberals would start screaming at their Democrat critters in Congress to build that wall fast.

She used to be on Fox News.
When Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats flew off to party in Puerto Rico in the middle of the longest Shutdown in history, they didn’t only show contempt for government workers, they also showed contempt for the leftist media.
Nancy made it clear that she believed leftist reporters were such abject, fawning slaves to the Democrats that no matter how objectionable their behavior — including photos of a Democratic Senator lusting after a bikini-clad trollop on a Puerto Rican beach — they would never, ever, utter a bad word against the Democrats.
Maybe leftist reporters are tired of being treated like lowly workhorses on the Democratic Plantation and will begin to write like dignified human beings, including criticizing the Democrats when their behavior warrants.
Who is this person and what has she done with the real CNN?
Constipated Camerota looked like she was reaching for that CNN nailfile.
In that picture Stimpy looks like he just pulled an all-nighter in some cheap bar.
We had two years to get this done with pubbie control. ‘Nuff said.
