#1- Shutdown is happening because of partisan idiocy perpetuated by Pelosi.
#2- Wall funding has nothing to do with campaign promise. A wall has been in place for some time and requires updates and aditional sections for some areas of the nine sectors. It has received funding in every FY since inception. DHS just completed a few segment last month with money that both Pelosi and Schumer voted for, along with nearly every other Dem. All of this is public record and viewable online. 
#3- There was a budget agreed upon by both Chambers prior to shutdown that included wall funding. Pelosi delayed via amendment until after she was formalized as Speaker. Now it sits in limbo or what is called Differences. Mind you, she and Schumer previously offered over $20B. Once again, matter of public record and viewable online.
#4- Trump said he would “own the shutdown” not that he was “going to shutdown the government”. Mind you, Congress is responsible for legislation and funding. POTUS signs when mutual, recorded text is presented. Hasn’t happened. Bill can also become law without POTUS signature. Blaming Trump is the ignorant easy way out.

FACT

So what am I missing?

Please explain how The House of Representatives placed a bill on the President’s desk for signature?

The House of Representatives passed a budget on January 3rd. They did their duty to create a budget. The President and Senate Majority Leader having their panties in a wad because they don't get their wall isn't really the House's problem. The House passed a budget, as is their duty, and thus far they haven't found an alternative they like enough to pass. If the wall funding were reallocated into better security measures, I think you'd see a bill passed very quickly.

So not on his desk, good. FYI, it was one of many budgets created by the House and Senate. Difference being, the Senate had a complete one and House partial, minus DHS. Boy they should be applauded for almost doing their job. The Senate Repubs have also tried to pass numerous bills to pay federal workers immediately, only to be shutdown by the Dems because of immigration language included that was not in line with what Trump offered as an olive branch. The issue has become one side negotiating (Rep) and the other side (Dems) demanding everything. 

Your last statement has already been proven to be a bad assumption. Already offered up, no takers.
