There was a whole bunch of stuff in the middle there.
Is it okay if I respond, Jersey Girl?

I'm not sure if I'm ready to give you permission. Stay in your room until I call you.
OK.

Neither are FOX News and Ann Coulter, but they're the ones who made Trump shut down the government.
Trump is fickle and can turn on a dime. And he’s tough on folks who make him look weak. And he really wants that wall.
Was he tough on Ann Coulter and FOX news? If he really wanted that wall he would have gotten it during the first two years of his administration. The wall charade the past month has been about giving in to the demands of FOX and Coulter.
I read the history the opposite way. Trump was at one time willing to trade wall for DACA. That tells me there’s a deal he’s willing to do. Just like Schumer was willing to trade wall money for DACA.
Several states sued in Texas federal court challenging the legality of DACA. The trial recently stated that the state’s were likely to win. There is an excellent chance the Supreme Court would agree. I think DACA’s on life support. The only way to protect those young folks is a statute that gives them the chance to become citizens. Trump really really wants something he can call a wall. The Democrats hold the keys. And the price of the keys should be DACA.
Note that I’m not saying give Trump 1000 miles of bollard fencing. But give him something that he can call a win.
No court has ruled DACA unconstitutional and the DACA kids are likely safe throughout Trump's term. I just think the Democrats have all the leverage at this point and there is no need to give him anything.

Check back in with me when the fat lady’s sung. You can’t tell whether you’re right until you see the bill.
