Trump admitted 'getting crushed’ by Democrats after watching shutdown coverage

Despite his brash tweets and comments vowing to continue his government shutdown, President Donald Trump has privately conceded he is losing the political battle over his border wall, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

Trump made the admission to acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney after watching press coverage of the shutdown.

“We are getting crushed!” Trump admitted.

“Why can’t we get a deal?” he wondered.
