I hate politics but would someone explain this to me please?

Trump had two years with a Republican majority in both the House and Senate to get the wall funded as part of his 100 day plan. So why is the GOP blaming Democrats? Trump said on TV to the speaker and minority speaker he would be happy to shut down government and that he wouldn't blame them. What happened?

Its not about the wall at all. Trump can see he is losing his grip on power (look at the mid term results) and feels threatened on all sides, with investigations into his business, , his family and a number of people being convicted.and a lot more in the pipeline. So he is picking up the theme that worked so well for him with his supporters in the election. To build a Wall. But of course, this time he cant say that Mexico with pay. So he has to "bet the farm" that shutting the government will give him the victory he needs.
