Deal 1/   2 years ago Congress with bi-partisan support offers 26 Billion for border ''fencing'' along with a permanent DACA fix...Donald Trump and the ''Freedom Caucus'' turn it down.

Deal 2/   9 weeks ago with unanimous senate support Trump is offered 1.6 billion for his wall.  The rightwing media noise machine goes ballisitc and Trump, after initially agreeing with the deal, reneges and 25% of the government shuts down for 5 weeks.

Deal 3/   5 weeks ago in the middle of the shutdown VP Pence announces that the administration will accept 2 to 2.7 billion for the wall and end the shutdown.  Trump throws him under the bus and says the shutdown will not end until he gets 5.7 billion.

Deal 4/   2 days ago a joint committee of congress presents a bill to fund the government which includes 1.3 billion for border security including 55 miles of fencing.  Trump, even with another rightwing hissy fit, shows every indication he will sign it.

Lord this guy really is a master at the Art of the Deal!!
