    So & me did all we could to convey how little negotiating is going on to reopen about 30% of fed gov't. I'm not sure we succeeded. Just know: Nothing positive happened Thursday.

    For his 10th tweet on this Christmas Eve, Trump says he’s all alone in the White House

    I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

    People close to Trump say Mnuchin is on thinning ice, as the president is training his fury on anyone remotely connected with the stock market. It's more than just Powell. (with the indefatigable )
