He has usurped congressional authority, ignored dem positions, cancelled negotiation meetings with dems, often ignored

judicial authority...and he now says 'stop the shutdown and...trust us...we'll negotiate later'.

There has never been a less reliable, honest, and trustworthy public official and it's time MSM starts recognizing that and dems start saying it.
