Trump expected to float deal to end shutdown, for now, without border wall money

President Donald Trump is expected to announce a proposal to temporarily reopen government, ending the 35-day shutdown with a clean bill to end the shutdown without obtaining any funding for his $5.7 billion border wall request, according to congressional and White House sources.

Trump is expected to break the news in a statement in the Rose Garden, though sources cautioned that the deal is "not locked in."

After Democrats rejected a proposal to temporarily reopen government with a pro-rated amount of border wall funding Thursday evening, Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters Friday morning that Republican senators were looking to the White House to decide the next move.

1. I think it was the airlines that pushed it over.

Trump caves to Pelosi again!

[George II]

2. Lots of pressure on him, all his Russian buddies are having a tough time...

...getting out of the country with all these airport delays.

[NurseJackie]

16. My husband just said almost the exact same thing. GMTA or you've tapped-in to our Alexa.

3. He will try and have it his way

I look for this to be a rambling disaster.

[highplainsdem]

10. Of course he'll try to take credit for "his solution" but only the deplorables will believe him.

[Honeycombe8]

25. +1. I'm guessing it will be similar to what one of the Dem. House bills was...

the bills that the Senate wouldn't pass. I betcha. "Extend 2018 funding for a short while, open the govt, and enter negotiations for 2019 budget." I betcha.

[C Moon]

4. There's probably a clause at the very end in 4 pt font, that says "and Trump cannot be impeached."

[CrispyQ]

5. Airline closures.

That affects everyone. Wall Street, Main Street, even Cult 45. The Con thought Pelosi would cave or that the narrative would flip to blaming her, not that the media didn't try.

[Stuart G]

18. Thank You "Airline Closures" that is it....I hadn't seen it that way..you are correct..

That is why the government is opening..(if it is)..You got it... also post #1 bearsfootball516

22. AirPORT closures.

AirLINE closures would be a sign of the economy in free fall. We are not there yet.

[Honeycombe8]

27. The airlines gave a warning today. Aviation worker safety concerns was warned yesterday. nt

[LakeSuperiorView]

31. Yet no airlines have closed or are close to closing.

What was closed was airports. They are distinct, which I'm sure most people know. If Delta or United were to "close" it would be a huge, nationwide deal. What happened was airports partially closing as they didn't have enough Federal personnel to function at full capacity.

A serious thing, no arguments there. But it was airports that closed, not airlines.

[Honeycombe8]

32. That's not what did it. What did: Turtle's comments yesterday + big hit to Trump's approval rating.

Mainly Turtles comments, where he said the govt shouldn't have been shut down in the first place, it's not a good way to do things, etc. Then the approval rating lows came out a day or so ago.

Trump relies heavily on Turtle, esp now that the House is lost to Repubs.

[LakeSuperiorView]

34. I never claimed that it did.

Not sure why you are trying to argue.

No airLINES closed today. Three airPORTS partially closed for a time.

That is the only point I have made, yet you seem to want to argue something else.

Maybe you meant to respond to another post?

6. No SOTU, regardless. NT

7. WaPo reporting a deal now

BREAKING NEWS: Congressional leaders, Trump have reached a tentative deal to temporarily reopen the government without wall funds, according to Hill officials.

With President Trump’s approval, the pact would reopen the government for three weeks while leaving the issue of $5.7 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall to further talks.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Trump was expected to announce the deal in a White House ceremony at 1:30 p.m. in the Rose Garden.

This story will be updated.

13. Oh, really?

[groundloop]

14. I think I see where Tiny is going with this.... in 2 1/2 weeks he'll be demanding his wall again.

And of course blaming Democrats for the impending shutdown if he doesn't get his wall.

[Javaman]

15. I have a feeling of a bait and switch is coming out way.

I trust nothing the orange asshole says.

17. A really rude image comes to mind all of a sudden but I'll just quote Butters Stotch

I said what what, in the butt?

19. If it's truly an emergency, Trump can declare his national emergency.
