As far as the wall goes, Trump has always maintained this was a bipartisan issue, in which Democrats had previously expressed they wanted to build a wall or barrier in the past. Even Nancy Pelosi had said this needed to be done long before Trump ever took office, back under the Obama regime.
I believe he has waited until the Democrats won back the House to get their approval for the wall so that it would be a bipartisan agreement - thus, less likely that the Democrats, should they ever win back the presidency someday, will tear the wall down out of spite towards the Republicans for having put it up without their approval.
