President Trump says Senator Schumer is a "puppet" for Speaker Pelosi and that he is being "dominated" by Pelosi.
President Trump said Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Schumer are a "very dangerous party for this country." "We are not going to allow the radical left to control our country," he said.
On day 33 of shutdown, Pres Trump spoke at length about how well the U.S. economy is doing and said that more people are working now than ever before. Reminder: Some 800,000 federal workers are being asked to work without pay and thousands of govt contractors won't get backpay.
President Trump and WH officials are still trying to figure out what to do now that Trump won't be doing his SOTU address from the House.

Trump is also trying to figure out what Nancy Pelosi's nickname will be because as of now he's only come up with saying "Nancy."

President Trump just said about declaring on national emergency: “I think we might work a deal, and if we don’t we might go that route.”

He also says he has the “absolute right” to declare an emergency. The “threshold” for declaring one is if he can’t make a deal, he says.
President Trump also said: “I would love to see a big immigration
bill where we really take care of the situation. ... We would like to
see real immigration reform in this country because we need it.”

Note: DACA for the wall could have been a big immigration bill.
President Trump on furloughed workers: “They’re all going to get their money and I think they’re going to be happy... Many of those people are saying it’s very hard for me, it’s very hard for my family but Mr. President you’re doing the right thing.”

More details from Pres Trump’s visit to Iraq: Pres Trump said that ISIS is “very nearly defeated” and the caliphate is gone, but if ISIS were to have a resurgence that the troops in Iraq would be able to combat it.
President Trump and the First Lady went to a dining hall and walked around greeting troops, taking selfies, signing autographs. They got a standing ovation when they walked in.
President Trump and FLOTUS spent about 3 hours at Al-Asad Air Base in western Iraq visiting troops and military leaders.

After years of demanding a wall, Pres Trump is moving his goals. A key quote today: “ I can’t tell you when the government is going to reopen…. [Not until] we have a wall, a fence, whatever they’d like to call it. I’ll call it whatever they want. But it’s all the same thing.”
President Trump wanted 2,000 miles of wall. Today he said: “It’s my hope to have this done, completed — all 500 to 550 miles — to have it either renovated or brand new by election time.”
President Trump said: “Now there may be the case of an Olympic champion who can get over the wall but for the most part you are not able to do it. Very high. It’s gonna be 30 feet. Much of it is 30 feet high. Some if it’s low. But in some areas we have it as high as 30 feet.”

🔷As of January 3, 2019, The Republicans now have 52 seats plus the Vice President. and the Democrats have 45 seats and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats.

🏛️51 required for majority
🏛️60 required for 3/5
🏛️67 required for 2/3

👁️BEFORE VS. AFTER
*⃣There was one vacancy, but the Republican Arizona Governor appointed fellow Republican Martha McSally, who took office on January 3, 2019. So the Senate is basically 53-47, in favor of the GOP.

🕳️The vacancy is shown as red in the "after" configuration.👆

Impeachment is only to create the illusion Trump is unstable, & show this Administration as being in “chaos,” & thereby create doubt in the minds of voters
2/ that Trump is an “incapable” as a President. It steers everyone from his accomplishments and the history-making events, and creates indecision in voters who might be inclined to vote Trump. The Democrats are desperate. If Trump succeeds in getting his Wall, there
3/ will be NO WAY #Democrats can ever win in 2020 without continued massive voter fraud. This means another long, dry spell away from the piggy bank (our government’s currency printing presses) & the money & power it represents. There is only one person in their way: Donald Trump
