President Donald Trump took to Twitter late Monday night to label the end of the government shutdown a "big win" for Republicans and to thank CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta for saying Democrats "caved" and "lost."
While Trump called the government funding deal a win for Republicans, he also said he wants a big win for "everyone," including Republicans, Democrats, and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
"Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!" Trump said.
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!
