Don't fall for the mainstream media spin. Trump has Peelosi boxed into a corner and she is too stupid to figure it out. He has offered numerous deals since the shutdown began. Peelosi said $1. P said it was immoral. P said no money unless you open government. P sai pay the workers first. P said no SOTU.
So now Trump opens government for a 3 week period with the specter of another shutdown or evoking the "national security" declaration.
If the Dems don't act in "good faith" during the next 21 days (which I suspect they will not) Trump has no other decision to make. Trump will use this against them. So should every Republican in office. Remember: to a Democrat, "bipartisanship" is when they get 90% of what they want.

Trump didn't "cave"- he re-set the "rules" and is in command for the Feb. 15th decision. The ball is in the Democrat court and a wide crack has formed within their caucus.
