Provided a nice opportunity for the day traders.

The Trump fans (I know a couple) see this as a tactic to scare the bejeezus out of the Congress as to the consequences of not passing a bill. And if they do come to a compromise in the next few days, who's to say they're wrong?

Looking at the Presidency as the core of governmental frustration, be it Bush, Obama, or Trump, is just wrong, wrong, wrong. The real Constitutional crisis is the utter inability of Congress to act as a deliberative body. If you say the Democrats or Republicans are the responsibles, you're part of the problem. It's both, e.g, if you're inveighing against McConnell for blocking the Garland nomination in 2016, you might consider the obstructions the Democrats put up to Bush nominees between 2005 to 2008, filibustering five of them in a row, who had votes enough to confirm, but not for cloture. It's a mess.
