Is Trump playing a chicken game with the Democratic Party?

Yesterday I discussed an article about May's playing a game of chicken with her Brexit rebels and I want to talk about another possible chicken game played by the US president Trump. Trump had a meeting with the Democratic leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, in the Oval Office; Trump threatened to shut down the government if the Democratic party does not allow him to build his border wall, while the Democratic party definitely does not want the wall at all.

If both Trump and the Democratic party do not like a government shutdown, then the game which is being played between Trump and the Democratic party is a game of chicken. However, if one side does not care about if the government is shut down, then the game is not a game of chicken. I do not think that Trump does not firm stand with his idea of building the border wall, I think that Trump wants to fight against the people who disagree with him; if my belief is true, then this is not a game of chicken that Trump will continue to fight the Democratic party until the Democratic party offers the wall and the probability for the Democratic party to offer the wall in order to avoid a government shutdown is relatively higher than what we expect if having a game of chicken.

Overall, I think that the US government is quite likely to be shut down due the disagreement between Trump and the Democratic party which will control the House next year.
