You need go no further than to Freeperville to see how big a miscalculation Trump has made
I won't link it per the rules but if you know what Freeperville is, you know how to find it and finding their reaction to today's news is pretty easy.
It's very doom and gloom over there. Just the way I like my Freeper Tears Tea. With a good helping of schadenfreude sweetener.

Thanks to inactivity, R lost House. Senate next if this isn’t fixed.
We really don't have the Senate now.

I’m hearing no money for the wall, no declaration of an emergency. = No support from the base

He lost serious face in the SOTU Standoff this week with the Letter War between him and Nancy.
Now? Now if he loses again by reopening the government (even temporarily) while Piglosi doen’t lose a thing?
He will be in serious trouble.

Aviation and security. Per a caller to Limbaugh who claimed to be a TSA employee.

Sad. The house has him on the ropes. pelosy’s goal is the election. If Trump doesn’t build, he will lose the election. Also Criminal Hillary is walking around.
He keeps telling us how nice walls are. This speech is repetitious of past speeches. If he doesn’t declare the emergency, he won’t get funding from the house. If he declares, the dems will tie him up in court and in two years the wall will not be built.
I don’t see a path to the wall before the election. Dem mission accomplished. UNLESS he declares and tells the judiciary to stand down as emergencies are not in their purview. But he has acquiesced to the courts for two years.
Good luck.

Trump just said if they can’t come to an agreement either the gov’t will shut down again or he’ll pull the trigger on the emergency.
