capitulate.
The irony is that Trump can easliy appropriate these funds with exec power. But he wants to break the Dems with this issue which is a loser for them, and he wants to also let the public see how much thy really miss the nonessential governemtn.
The Dems have used this issue against cowardly Republicans since 1996 every time the budget comes up.. Time to put the pressure back on them.
Trump gets 99% support from his base on this and from a fair number of mod Dems, southern border Dems, and minorites. he would lose if he caved. As it stands, this should go on a very ong time until the Dems feel it in the polls and find a way to capitulate while saving face.
