ok he’s been hoodwinked or politically blackmailed like reagan in 1986
now here’s half the cabinet coming up one by one to say what a great thing this is.
It’s actually very simple, if he vetoed it a government shutdown would have cratered his public support, 95% of 5ne voters don’t think the same way we do here, and there are most definitely- and easily - enough votes to impeach him and convict him. He has very little support in his own party.
The Establishment has him boxed in...unless he’s willing to use the military to keep himself in office, a shutdown would finish him. He’s the president in the weakest political position since Nixon in 1974. They have him boxed, because the balance of power is with the professional political class, who have bought off who they need to and turned the rest of the population into drugged up idiots. That’s where the blame ultimately resides.
