If Trump were to ask for everyone in Congress and the House to line up and kiss his ass they'd still play it off like this if he inevitably didn't get it.
Twitter is mildly entertaining. Remember this next time someone gets murdered by an illegal alien invader! You won the battle but not the war! Pelosi and Schumer only had the entire media to indoctrinate the masses, the sheep! They're to blame! This is a sad day, nothing to celebrate. Trump is for the people, while Pelosi is for her anti-American propaganda party. He only did what he had to because he cares about the people. Too bad you Democrats just got played! Checkmate! Enjoy your fake glory now, because the Trump Train will have the last laugh!
I feel like there's a dril tweet for this situation. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/909/525/70a.png
Watching Trumpublicans trying to spin this shit as a victory is as funny as it is sad.

Looks like the wall got... Shucked.
800,000 didn't get paid for a meme election promise.
So Trump only caved so that he can declare a manufactured national emergency on February 15th. Can Congress actually challenge it if he calls for a "national emergency" and if so, could that possibly lead to the start of the impeachment process? Or is this something unprecedented?
House and Senate have both passed the bill to reopen the government. Should be signed and done within a few hours now.
Things that are not a national emergency: Wage stagnation through the roof Newer generations unable to afford their own homes People working 3+ jobs just to stay alive The entire american healthcare system Rise of the far right Things that are a national emergency: The Wall (which is not actually a wall but a non-continuous set of steel slats placed at points along the border), which the american people do not want, not being funded glad to see the GOP has it's priorities in order as always

The previous discussions about him declaring a national emergency were pretty scary. Should I still be worried? my house is packed with survival gear and guns already but I'm still pretty worried.
Be worried.
Also don't forget: the wall was not a national emergency for the first two years of this administration.
If Trump declares the national emergency and when it gets to SCOTUS one of two things will happen: 1) SCOTUS agrees with Trump, giving the executive branch new powers. When Democrats take the WH next, they will use these new powers to go about declaring national emergencies for things like climate change without having to go through congress. Republicans proceed to whine as they suddenly learn of their grave mistake by letting Trump do this. 2) SCOTUS disagrees with Trump, keeping power limited to actual emergencies that must be acted in a short amount of time while congress gets through their process. Trump does not get his wall and that ends the wall. Either way, Trump fucked himself.

Government is officially open.
It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it’s off to the races! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t7bYWM9zAw
Trump actually did something good?
More like, Trump actually did his job for once. If Trump had signed the CR on December 22nd instead of shutting down the fucking government for a month and fucking 800,000 federal employees out of two paychecks (yes they'll get backpay but try and feed yourself or pay rent with the promise of backpay), you could describe it as "something good". This is more like "he finally stopped being the nation's biggest asshole for a little while". But he's ready to do it all over again in three weeks if he doesn't get his wall, so expect more shutdown.
I really don't think that it counts as something good when you partially walk back your own stupid decisions. Even more so when he clearly hasn't learned the error of his ways in the process.
Not really. It's like murdering someone then going to church and confessing about it then saying well he repented so it's okay now
Do not be so sure. Were the negatives of shutdowns more important than petty politics in the long run, we wouldn't ever have them. I am not usually one for cynicism, but I firmly believe that absent any personal threat, our congressmen will always have every reason to risk the livelihoods of chunks of their electorate if it means they get what they want in the end. It is abhorrent.
We're gonna be shut down in a month given how the Ann Coulters and Limbaughs of the world are going on.
I can't believe how people can still to this day twist every single news about Trump as positive and that "he totally is gonna own the cucks in three weeks, he was feeling bad for them is all" One of the people I follow on Twitter for being a die-hard Trump fan hasn't stopped tweeting that Trump failed and that it's over, so it's definitely progress.
A lawsuit, dragging out for months or years, is the most likely response to that, and probably what Trumpworld is actually hoping for. End of the day, it's doomed to fail, but it would allow Trump to boast that he was still fighting for that Big Beautiful Wall From Sea To "Shiny" Sea, rather than having to admit he got his ass kicked up and down the capital by Pelosi.
Did trump just pull the old "hitler isn't so bad after all he did kill hitler" and try to pretend he's a hero undoing the thing he didn't need to do?
that's too well written, someone took his phone and did it for him.
