“Trump, he’s had it with these people, because he knows they’re playing politics,” said the second person. “Nobody thought it was going to last this long.”

Trump and his top aides thought that unpaid federal workers, closed and limited federal facilities and threats of ever-more job cuts from Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, would be too much for Democrats to handle

“I don’t know what’s wrong with them,” he said of Democrats Friday. “They’ve never done a thing like this. They’ve become crazed lunatics. All they have to do is say, ‘Let’s go. Let’s open up our country.’ And everything snaps back into shape. So there’s something wrong with them... It’s their fault. Everything is their fault. It’s so easily solved.”

The Dems have required that any resolution include the requirement that all allocated funds be used as allocated. Which means Trump wouldn't be able to steal them like he has been with illegal impoundment or moving fund to other purposes. That's what the GoP won't negotiate on, and it's really the only reason any Dem would agree to anything getting passed.

They won't negotiate on anything, ever, period. That's their whole platform: don't argue in good faith to solve a problem, it's their way or no way. They are absolutely domestic terrorists (they literally said that themselves in CPAC).
