I don't think Trump caved, but talks of flights being cancelled and delays, that impact the economy are not something Trump wants. I don't think that he believes Dems will negotiate in good faith, so he does this and reopens the government for 3 weeks - if at the end of that time, he can always shut the government down and then declare a national emergency and take money fof the wall. I can't help but believe there is a strategy behind this decision. But I know that a lot of government employees will be glad to get back to work and be glad to collect back pay to catch up their bills. I hope the lesson that they learned is that the government is no longer a stable employer, and that they need to have emergency back up money for this kind of situation.
