Trump can't accept Dems' offer because he'd 'look stupid'

Washington (US States Hub) President Trump told a group of legislators he can't accept Democrats' offer to re-open the government as the opposite sides negotiate border wall funding because he "would look foolish if I did that," according to a person familiar with the exchange.

Trump met with congressional authority from the two sides of the path Wednesday in the midst of an on-going partial government shutdown. 

The President and Democrats are inconsistent funding for a border wall. The House is relied upon to hold a progression of votes to open the administration only hours after Democrats take control on Thursday, a Democratic aide confirmed to US States Hub,  however, Trump is probably not going to sign anything they approve at this stage. 

Our question to President Donald Trump and to the Republicans is, 'Why don't you acknowledge what you have effectively done to open up government?' " asked California Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the assumed new House speaker, alluding to a bipartisan, Senate-passed financing measure, though one Trump has never publicly embraced.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he asked Trump for what valid reason the administration couldn't be revived while the opposite sides work to determine their disparities. 

"I asked him specifically ... He couldn't give a good response," Schumer said. 

After Democrats disclosed their arrangement to pass estimates financing the administration - including the Department of Homeland Security - at any rate incidentally as transactions proceeded with, Schumer over and again asked Trump for what good reason he contradicted that approach, the individual acquainted with the trade said. 

In the long run, Schumer asked a third time for one reason Trump wouldn't acknowledge the offer, and Trump reacted: "I would look stupid in the event that I did that." 

As part of the meeting, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen looked to depict the situation at the southern border as an "emergency" two senior administration authorities said.

"Nielsen stated, 'This isn't an existing conditions circumstance. We are in an emergency circumstance,'" one of the authorities stated, transferring Nielsen's comments, which were gone for the Democratic pioneers in participation. "The present state of affairs financing isn't enough." 

There were no raised voices amid the meeting, yet it was certain that neither one of the sides was moving, the source included. 

After the meeting, legislators on both sides of the path freely said there is no achievement.

Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell confirmed the absence of progress, saying: "I don't think specific progress was made today, yet we discussed all parts of it and it was a civil discussion.

"We are hopeful that some way or another in the coming days or weeks we will we will be able to achieve an agreement," he told journalists upon his arrival to Capitol Hill. 

Trump invited officials to come back to the White House on Friday, after their administration races, to keep talking about a way to reviving the administration, as indicated by approaching House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

During a noontime Cabinet meeting, Trump declined to state whether he would sign a measure to open the government in the event that he got not as much as his $5 billion in asked for divider financing. 

"Would we be able to do it for somewhat less? It's so insignificant contrasted with what we're discussing. You know, I've heard numbers as high as $275 billion we lose on unlawful movement," 

Trump said. "The $5 billion endorsed by the House is such a little sum contrasted with the dimension of the issue." 

US States Hub previously announced that Vice President Mike Pence proposed $2.5 billion for a mix fringe security and migration subsidizing a week ago, yet was rebuked by Schumer. 

On Wednesday, Trump said: "No, not $2.5 (billion), no. We're asking for $5.6 (billion) and somebody said $2.5 (billion). No, look, this is national security we're discussing ... What I'm discussing about is the $5.6 billion that the House endorsed."

By US States Hub The Democratic-drove House intends to cast a ballot on a bipartisan bundle of six Senate spending bills and a stopgap measure to re-open the Department of Homeland Security at its current financing levels until February 8, the aide said. 

The temporary measure would keep up the current $1.3 billion in border security cash, which can be utilized for fencing and fixes of current barriers.
