Trump said he wouldn't sign any of the Democrat's legislation. He didn't rule out signing the Republican's continuing resolution that will be passed before the Democrats take control of Congress.

Supporters of US President Donald Trump have turned on him after he was yet again denied funding for a border wall.
Late on Wednesday, the US Congress approved a spending bill to keep federal agencies funded until February.
The Republican president was foiled in the Senate by members of his party, who refused to grant him any of the $5bn (£4bn) he wants for a US-Mexico wall.
Two years on, Mr Trump has been unable to deliver on the central campaign pledge that electrified his rallies.
Congress faces a Friday midnight deadline for averting a partial shutdown of the federal government.
Failing to agree a longer-term spending plan, the Senate has only been able to approve a seven-week extension of funds.
The House of Representatives is expected to act on the legislation later this week.
President Trump was quick to voice his displeasure, saying on Twitter on Thursday that he would not sign any legislation that does not include the wall.
But he has repeatedly threatened to veto budget bills that do not include funding for his project, only to sign such measures once they reach his desk.

Deep State wins over some Trump supporters.
Took two years, but they’ve done it. Back on board with the elites.
I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt after last year’s budget disaster. And expect better this year. I’ll wait til it’s done, but if it’s like last year, my enthusiasm for Trump will be way down. Still above any other politician I can think of but way down.
I love so many other things he’s doing, but on the budget I may put him with Ryan. Ryan gave lots of GREAT interviews on budget for 10 months after he became speaker. Then delivered on NOTHING he promised - not even close - for the rest of his term (didn’t even deliver a single budget, which should be the house’s number one job, but we got a bunch of omnicrap).
We can’t let Obama, or Ryan, or Trump rewrite history. It’s less than a year since we had lots of excuses and promises that “next year will be different”. If it’s not different we should be pissed, and not just say “he’s doing good in other areas”. The budget matters. And the things we elected Trump to do matter (e.g. the wall).
The sad thing is that there are so many here on FR who have already declared him dead. Don’t you love it when so-called Trump supporters give up on him after less than two years, and do exactly what the libs want them to?
Plenty of them here on FR. Just as weak-kneed as the Congressional Republicans they thrash every day.
We can see with our own eyes! You disparage us as an ignorant pack because we won’t blindly follow with baited breath, a hushed tone, a faint whisper for the next tweet? No one did it but our President himself. On this issue he painted himself into a corner by trusting in those thousands of tweets. Tweets don’t lead they just bloviate. Using your bully pulpit in the first 6 months to incessantly slam Congress on the wall would have sent a message. But no he signed an omnibus informing the public never again and here we are again it’s Groundhog Day. Instead this time he doesn’t have Congress and we won’t get our wall.
fixed
Yea, because our chances of fixing the border mess are so much better with a Dem president, right?
Trump said he wouldn't sign any of the Democrat's legislation. He didn't rule out signing the Republican's continuing resolution that will be passed before the Democrats take control of Congress.
Whiner.
Better than being a fool wiener.
Congratulations! You made a lib happy today. Have a nice Christmas.
So was it Democrat’s that pretend to be conservatives who signed that omnibus saying never again until he gets his wall?
So was it Democrat’s that pretend to be conservatives who did not use their political capital to get the wall his first 6 months in office by constantly slamming Congress?
So was it Democrat’s that pretend to be conservatives that allowed Russia hoax to fester by not firing Sessions the day he refused himself thus hamstringing his presidency and relegating it to tweets? The tweets remind me of simplistically pleasing the masses when other leadership elements are failing. The Romans did that well with the Coliseum.
So was it Democrat’s that pretend to be conservatives who told Chuck and Nancy in front of the world he would shut down the Government only to slightly backtrack 48 hours later?
So was it Democrat’s that pretend to be conservatives when the FISA warrant was to be released unredacted and the texts between Strozk and Page? Interesting, it must be Democrats pretending to be conservatives who are squelching any further mention of either of these items. Have you heard another peep about it?
It appears you’ve upset the blindly following, never utter a word of criticism or question, hero worshipping contingent of the party.
This is a movement. Turncoats are not welcome and will be turned away. Regret awaits them.
I hope you realize that even if the wall was built, there's still the small matter of all the anchor babies who will be eligible to vote in 2020.
I don't know how many but the last election was won by 80,000 votes and I'm sure the other side will have 3x or 4x that many. Probably a lot more.
Trump also promised to revisit the 14th Amendment, but since he can't even get a wall, I'm not holding my breath.
So you better be ready, and you better have a plan B because once Trump is gone, they're going to put us in a world of hurt.
