What did Trump mean when he said during the December 11 meeting with Pelosi and Schumer at the White House, “I will take the mantle. I will shut it down, I’m not going to blame you for it" Trump reverses, says Dems to blame for shutdown
Emblematic of his perpetual dishonesty, only a couple of days later he was blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
But regardless of who Trump blames, various polls show that Americans blame Trump and the GOP. For instance:

Obviously the situation will only continue to deteriorate as long as the government is shutdown. For instance, within a couple of weeks farmers throughout much of the country will need to begin taking out loans through the USDA to plant crops, and also begin to contract to sell their anticipated harvest. But the USDA is closed.
Perhaps we should start wagering on when Trump and the GOP will lead the US and the into utter disintegration -- all over a stupid bigoted border wall?
Emblematic of his perpetual dishonesty, only a couple of days later he was blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
But regardless of who Trump blames, various polls show that Americans blame Trump and the GOP. For instance:
American voters support 63 - 30 percent a Democratic proposal to reopen parts of the government that do not involve border security while negotiating funding for the Wall, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Every party, gender, education, age and racial group supports this idea except Republicans, who are opposed 52 - 39 percent.
Voters oppose 63 - 32 percent shutting down the government to force funding for the Wall, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll finds. Again, Republicans are the only listed group supporting the shutdown, 67 - 24 percent.
The GOP is losing the battle as 56 percent of American voters say President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are responsible for the shutdown, while 36 percent say Democrats are responsible.
Voters remain solidly opposed to a wall on the Mexican border, 55 - 43 percent, and reject every argument for the Wall. The 55 - 43 percent opposition compares to 54 - 43 percent opposition in a December 18 survey, just before the partial government shutdown.
American voters are negative in every question about the wall, saying:
