No, it's clear Trump was using the shutdown as leverage to try to get his way. I understand both sides have their partisans who shovel the talking points but the blame for a shutdown does fall on those that try to use it as leverage. Trump was clearly trying to do that. It was a case of him wanting the extra money for his wall or else the shutdown would continue. Since he never had the backing of the majority of the American people to continue the shutdown he resorted to declaring a fake emergency that in his own words didn't need to do.
