He doesn't want the wall - he wants the campaign issue. It links together all the big bad fear points he tries to scare people to action with.

The wall is the glue that keeps his uglies focussed. If he wins on this, he can't use it as a rally cry.

So he doesn't want a deal. He does want the media attention on something that is not his corrupt family.

Tump will continue to act like an enemy of this country and try to destroy it from within. I do not trust him.
