It’s simple: President Trump (still not tired of writing that) is playing a long game, the way he always does. Short version: don’t go after them directly, so when they are taken down, you cannot be blamed.
President Trump really is a master strategist.
Another example is publication of the Mueller report. President Trump to the Democrats: “Don’t throw me into the briar patch.” LOL
The long game resulted in 90,000 crossings in February. More sexual predators and murderers coming back into the country. More drugs, more disease. The ‘long game” is a lame excuse when you can’t get it done sooner. I am never surprised anymore when people cite the long game on his biggest failures to date, imprisoning clinton, Obama, Lynch and holder and of course illegal immigration.
On the day after the election he should have asked Mitch and Ryan if they would fund the wall so he could hit the ground running the day after the inauguration. If they didn’t on jan 21, 2017, he should have declared an emergency. Would like to hear the response when some judge asks the administration if it was an emrgencey why wait so long, is it because your playing the “long game” with American lives.
