Trump may very well have just aced this. No matter what the President promises, it is Congress that holds the purse strings. Trump lets the shutdown go. Pelosi says no money. Suddenly the situation is that Trump is keeping his promise, but Congress is refusing to pay for it. He now looks very good and they are the bad guys who refused to cooperate. Never mind whether that's true or not. When dealing with the voting public perception is everything.
