President Trump’s ‘Xanatos Gambit’ Government Shutdown

Welcome to day twenty eight day of the U.S. Federal government shutdown.

Normally “Federal Government shut downs” are a game of “chicken” where Congressional (usually GOP) and Executive Branch (usually Democrat) politicians are playing a game of virtue signaling to their political base until the accumulated toxic waste of bad media and public protest let the Congress “compromise” on spending more money with limited blow back in their next partisan primary.

This time is very different, and it’s far more than just a matter of political parties changing sides in government.

President Trump is working to a “Xanatos Gambit” political-media strategy tree that looks whole lot like his 2015 GOP primary campaign from June 16, 2015 to week of December 2-8, 2015.

Where he ran a high energy offensive political campaign of “free media by outrageous statements” that sucked all the political air time out of his GOP opponent’s political campaigns and established his ‘billionaire who cares more for the common man than D.C. politicians‘ street cred’ via populist anti-open borders immigration positions of protecting American citizens from illegal immigrant Mexican criminals and Muslim terrorists.

Check for any errors and then terminate all non- essential people from the federal tax payroll with closing of unconstitutional or worthless agencies like atf, most of epa, education, and a thousand more. Pelosy’s partial shutdown is a great beginning but only a beginning of what needs cutting.

The shut down is now the Democrats fault until they. Make a counter offer.

Wish he’d announce this Reciprocal citizens rights

The Mexican constitution states one must be a citizen to own land and they are very restrictive about granting citizenship.Because of that a US citizen cannot have title in their name to any property (land) in Mexico. And until that is changed the US should seriously consider making that reciprocal.prohibiting citizen of Mexico or countries with similar restrictions from doing so. That would slow things down.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting, it was a great article....and Xanatos’ character is very loosly based on Donald Trump!

[jmcenanly]

IIRC David Xanatos was the villain in his story. His nemesis was called Goliath.

I was NewRome Tacitus for many years before my computer burned out and this site doesn’t budge on reestablishing one’s identity. I learned to write down all passwords in ink on paper. Anyway, I admire Tacitus because he criticized the leadership with subtle humor in a daring manner and got away with it.
