before. everybody remembers the bill that he literally almost did not sign until the last second, giving people on the hill a heart attack and had to be talked out of not signing that bill. i think there s always a possibility, with trump, at the last moment he can decide that he is going to go the path that literally no one else wants to go down and take and walk out of the room, as a negotiating tactic. so, you know, our sources have told us that he is likely to do it, but no one is willing to go out on a limb over this one. president trump really does not like this bill. he s not really one for details. this is going to be about whether or not he feels like the politics of the situation is one he can sell to his people and he may not know that until he is at that point where he has to make a final decision. he s not one for details. this is a situation where his supporters are likely to seize on the bill and say this is terrible.
what s happening at the border, it s humanitarian. the president has tried to sell a bill of goods to the american people. putting that aside in terms of the president making an end run around congress. reporter: with little more than a day before the government runs out of money, some were starting to worry. we have to pass it. then we all pray that the president will sign it. reporter: as republican lawmakers were praying the president would sign the spending deal. let s pray the president will have wisdom to sign the bill so government doesn t shut down. reporter: part of the reason for the high drama, the president s allies were pleading with mr. trump to reject the deal. as it fell well short of his promise to build a wall on the border. any republican that supports this garbage compromise, you will have to explain. reporter: as one fax news personality tweeted, this bill must not be signed. as the president was dragging his feet, he was making it all about him.
year and engage in this fight. the amount this is obviously not only less than what he asked for, but less than the deal that vice president pence offered up as a way to get them out of the shutdown in the first time. they back slid a lot in the negotiations, even border security. what is amazing is we are in a phase where the president likes to build up the anticipation, is he going to sign it or not. even when he made the decisions, a lot of time he likes to keep up the suspension. i m reviewing the bill. it s not like i m going to sign it. i m reviewing it. that gives republicans fits. in a situation like this, where he is unhappy with the results, he holds on to that, keeping people in suspense until the end. he s put them in tough spots
he wasn t consulted more. the bill, here you go. it s not all of it, i left some on the desk. it requires everyone, democrats, republicans and the white house to hold their nose a little bit. it falls way short of the president s demand of $5.7 billion in border wall funding. the senate, then the house are expected to vote on the deal later today. republicans know the president is mad because he s getting so little of what he demanded. as they discuss this compromise, they are trying to spin it as progress. a government shutdown is never going to help. it hurts people. maybe burned once here badly, i believe it led us to a very good compromise that, again, gives the president the ability to move forward with the plan that the professionals told us they want and need at the border.
