President. the only thing that matters is what schumer and president trump can agree to. neither side has any incentive to give in. theyre both playing to their respective bases and its broader than the physical wall at this point. for president trump its about a central campaign promise. he talked about it on day one of his announcement. he needs to fire up his supporters. >> hes not making it about anything besides the wall. youre saying this is about more than just a wall. the president doesn...
