No, because the funding wasn't demanded until the 11th hour. Congress was on the verge of passing a clean CR with bipartisan support until Trump caved to conservative media pressure and suddenly refused to sign. He also took the blame for the shutdown on live TV.
Trump wasn't able to negotiate for the funding in the two years that his party has control, and now he's taken the government hostage for it.
