President Trump walked out of shutdown negotiations with Democratic leaders Wednesday after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she won’t agree to any money for his border fence.This confirms my analysis that the Democrats were operating in bad faith by suggesting they would negotiate if the government reopened.
