Trump’s tweet comes as he is facing sharp criticism from normally pro-Trump commentators for his decision — in their words — to “cave” on his demands for a wall.

Here was the hot take from Jim Hoft:

7. Go ahead Donny - pull the other one.

This is the price you pay for going up against real dedicated elected officials instead of being pampered by fawning sycophants.

10. That's not strength, it's impotence. And it's embarrassing.

Trump is President of the most powerful nation on earth. But @realDonaldTrump spent this weekend, during a shutdown he caused, alone in the White House twiddling his thumbs.

That's not strength, it's impotence.

And it's embarrassing.

Mr. President: Reopen our government.

17. Well, its 3 weeks, so the shutdown is over, but maybe only temporarily.

Still pisses off his "base" of 20%

18. What a fucking liar (yes, old news I know).

It is not "off to the races" on building his wall if no agreement in 21 days. Yes, he can declare a national emergency and take unallocated funds from other projects - however - Dems will quickly file against him in court and construction will never begin. Drumpf knows this but has to go through the charade for his masters' ( PUtin's) sake to explain why he hasn't already bought tons of Deripaska steel.

But the country knows you got bitch slapped by the house...

20. OK...I need to check this out...Who said, "'......in no way a concession"

It that a reliable source?
Someone who is telling the truth?
Someone who would never lie?
Someone who can be depended upon?
Who was it that said..."...in no way a concession"?

It couldn't be Mr. Trump...everything he says is a lie or a concession to someone or something..(like a large order of fries from Mikkie D's )

If you think that Mr. Trump wouldn't lie, then I have a bridge to sell you across the Atlantic Ocean...And you know, it is very inexpensive, and I have a deal for you....!!!

21. It wasn't a concession,

it was a surrender.
