Trump seems to be saying he doesn’t need the House-Senate conference to get money for the wall, as he considers declaring a national emergency.
If the wall is out of the talks, a deal can be easily reached and another shutdown can be averted

As Trump tries to misconstrue the testimony from his intel chiefs, remember that not once did they, in hours of discussion of security threats, mention the need for a wall along the southern border, which Trump portrays as the single most pressing need facing the country.
