El Presidente Trumpo woke up early today with a lot on his mind and he decided to spill his guts onto Twitter.
First he thanked Kanye, of course:
Thank you to Kanye West for your nice words. Criminal Justice Reform is now law - passed in a very bipartisan way!

Then he said everyone supports his border wall, of course, of course:
Great support coming from all sides for Border Security (including Wall) on our very dangerous Southern Border. Teams negotiating this weekend! Washington Post and NBC reporting of events, including Fake sources, has been very inaccurate (to put it mildly)!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2019
And blamed the Democrats:
The Democrats could solve the Shutdown problem in a very short period of time. All they have to do is approve REAL Border Security (including a Wall), something which everyone, other than drug dealers, human traffickers and criminals, want very badly! This would be so easy to do!

Many people currently a part of my opposition, including President Obama & the Dems, have had campaign violations, in some cases for very large sums of money. These are civil cases. They paid a fine & settled. While no big deal, I did not commit a campaign violation!

Then he rejects the reporting, based on his own words, that the shutdown doesn’t matter because most federal workers are Democrats:
I don’t care that most of the workers not getting paid are Democrats, I want to stop the Shutdown as soon as we are in agreement on Strong Border Security! I am in the White House ready to go, where are the Dems?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2019
Hmmm. I just don’t see that he has the same incentive structure as the Democrats to stop the government shutdown, especially after he specifically said he would take the blame for it. Ann Coulter agrees – she says Trump will likely cave on the border wall, and it’s hard to think otherwise when he’s already done it twice in his first term, long before Democrats won the House….
UPDATE:
He kept tweeting.
We are working hard at the Border, but we need a WALL! In 2018, 1.7 million pounds of narcotics seized, 17,000 adults arrested with criminal records, and 6000 gang members, including MS-13, apprehended. A big Human Trafficking problem.

The Democrats want Billions of Dollars for Foreign Aid, but they don’t want to spend a small fraction of that number on properly securing our Border. Figure that one out!

Great Tweet today by Tyler Q. Houlton @SpoxDHS on the #FakeNews being put out by @CNN, a proud member of the Opposition Party. @TSA is doing a great job!
