It's a negotiating tactic.

Since the democrats have taken air travel, the military and SNAP recipients hostage, Trump is now taking his own hostage. He and Thune are playing the 2-man game where Thune says to Schumer, "If you don't deal reasonably with me, you get what the crazy Orange Man in the White House wants".

It's the same model that Nixon and Kissinger used to negotiate the Paris Peace Talks with the North Vietnamese, btw: every time NV blew off something that HK wanted Nixon would unleash another round of bombing. Got their attention right quick.
