Let’s pretend that people understand government funding and remove the Mexico bit of the equation. Now what? It doesn’t factor into the situation at all except those ignorantly hanging on to the notion Mexico was going to send over mules carrying bags and bags of cash.

No. Why would we remove the Mexico bit of the equation? That's how Trump won the election. He promised stupid people, Mexico would pay for the wall. Whether it was realistic or not, he promised it and he should either follow through with his campaign promise, pay for the wall out of his own pocket or shut up and sign the deal that was accepted by everyone else to end this ridiculous shutdown.
