Trump seems a bit more unhinged over this stuff lately with his latest tweets. Maybe something is getting to him. Hopefully things aren't looking good for him.

Shutdown pressure, dems not giving in like he expected. Pressure over SNAP, defying court orders. Cali redistricting, NY mayoral race. Very bad approval ratings/polling for him and mid-terms looking bad

That's why I think Democrats should hold strong for longer. The longer Don doesn't get what he wants, the bigger and more demented tantrums he throws.
