President Trump said hours before his Oval Office address Tuesday night that he didn't think it would change anyone's mind.

“It’s not going to change a damn thing, but I’m still doing it,” Trump said Tuesday, according to the New York Times .

Trump used his first Oval Office address to the nation to argue that the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is a humanitarian crisis that demands a border wall. But he was instantly rebutted by congressional Democratic leaders, and the two sides are no closer to a solution Wednesday morning.

Trump is headed to Capitol Hill Wednesday to have lunch with Senate Republicans, and will later meet with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders to continue negotiations for a funding bill that he hopes can include money to build a border wall.

The president says he will not sign a bill that does not include funding for the border wall, and has said law enforcement officers believe $5.7 billion is necessary for the physical barrier.

Democratic leaders have said that they would not grant the money Trump demands for the wall, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has called it “immoral.”
