When Trump won the election, he had a strong hand to play to secure the Mexican border and keep his signature campaign promise, but he chose to pass. Now that Republicans do not control the House, Trump is playing a very weak hand.

Maybe President Trump can declare a national emergency and build the wall with Defense funds but doing so will probably turn into a long court battle. So far, Trump has made all of the concessions in this fight and got nothing from Democrats in return.

You're right, Trump has offered a lot of concessions by way of overture. And at the same time many in his own party have proceeded to cut the legs out from under him while those concessions yet hung in the air. If you ask me it isn't likely that Dems of and on their own, would've had the stict-to-it-iveness to hold their ground the way they have. I'd say it is far more likely that RINO turncoats put a collaborative bug in Dem ears.
