    I can't see Trump signing this. He will lose his base over it.

    Even money on whether Trump signs it or not. Depends on what his Fox and Friends decide.

    Hannity more or less already said the Republicans that support it should be executed.

    Limiting the detention beds is stupid. Why would anyone want that?

    You don’t think he will just spin it as a victory and live to fight another day?

    He has to at this point, but I'd be amused if Trump couldn't assert dominance over Alex Jones,Hannity, and his ilk.

    They pretty much rode him like a horse and led him to water for the events leading to the 1st shutdown.

    The man appeared in front of signs that said “FINISH THE WALL” tonight in El Paso. He could tell his die-hard supporters that this bill funds the last concrete block to fill in a continguous border wall and they would believe him. They think there’s something under construction now, just complete the lie.

    I can't predict with any certainty what he will do, but his base will see it for what it is. If he signs it, it will be seen as a full surrender. Heck, Ann Coulter has already been bashing Trump for a couple months now.

    I predict he signs a bill that doesn't address border security, and declares an emergency at the border and hashes it out in court.
