Washington – A Donald Trump ally says the president isn’t giving in on his demands for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border — the issue that’s led to a partial government shutdown now in its 23rd day.

Sen. Lindsey Graham says he encouraged Trump during a telephone conversation Sunday to reopen government for a short period to try to negotiate a deal with Democrats to end the impasse.
But the South Carolina Republican tells “Fox News Sunday” that Trump wants a deal first.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, wants Trump to end the shutdown first.
Graham says he thinks Trump is willing to accept the level of wall funding he is seeking, along with some immigration measures Democrats might accept, such as helping immigrants who were illegally brought to the U.S. as minors.
Trump has said that while he wants a broader immigration deal, he first wants to hear what the Supreme Court has to say about the group known as “Dreamers.”
If Trump is as rich as he claims , why doesn’t he pay for the wall himself and then he can write TRUMP WALL in big letters.
2-Faced Graham cracker said Trumpie is an empty-head. Now he wants some Federal position. Nothing he says holds up by the next day. What a crumb he is.
President Trump should NOT give in about the WALL because he swore as President of the NEW “United” States of America to “PROTECT” the American Citizens in every way possible – which means not letting ILLEGAL immigrants including murderers, gangsters, drug smugglers into the United States.
Thank you Mr. President
Thank you President Trump for putting the safety of Americans first. The libtards should learn a valuable lesson from you.
When a wall was built in Eretz Yisrael on the West Bank, and along the border with Egypt, it stopped all Arab suicide bombers, and illegal aliens coming from Africa. Case closed!
Tiny Donald is going to show his manhood by holding out for the wall even if it destroys the country. He always boasted of his non existent prowess. Now that Mexico has embarrassed him by refusing to pay, he has no other way to save face
