President Donald Trump claimed a big win for his Republican party as the US government shutdown only lasted one working day. As it became apparent that the Democrats were being blamed equally much for the shutdown in a Politico poll, they agreed to a three-week extension of the debt ceiling with the guarantee that the DACA deal will be discussed beforehand.
His tweet after the agreement read: “Big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown. Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats, and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!”

The Democratic leader in the Senate, Mr. Chuck Schumer stated in retaliation that: "the great deal-making president sat on the sidelines."
However, "Democrats CAVED" was trending on social media Monday evening, meaning most of the public gave this win to President Trump.
Meanwhile, as already stated in our covering of the shutdown yesterday, the presumed Democratic presidential frontrunners all swung to the far left in their voting with senators Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris all voting against the agreement afterwards.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Even Crazy Jim Acosta of Fake News CNN agrees: “Trump World and WH sources dancing in end zone: Trump wins again…Schumer and Dems caved…gambled and lost.” Thank you for your honesty Jim!</p>— Donald J.

This morning, President Trump noted that even longtime foe CNN had by now admitted that the Democrats caved, gambled and lost.
