Mulvaney's most disturbing comment was to say that what upset Trump the most was the Democrats' "spiking the football" on this deal. Apparently, Trump's fine with no wall -- and everything else in a bill straight out of George Soros' dream journal --
- if only the Democrats hadn't been so rude as to tell the public about it.
... Democrats have got to be pinching themselves, thinking, Am I dreaming this?
... Admittedly, Trump has the enormous handicap of having to work through congressional Republicans, who are feckless cowards.
... This isn't new information. We knew Washington Republicans were useless.
That's why we elected such a comically improbable president as Donald J. Trump.
The deal was
- that we were getting the Hollywood version of a New York businessman:
- an uncouth, incurious rube -- who would be ruthless in getting whatever he wanted.
In addition to being the only candidate for president in either party taking America's side on trade, immigration, jobs and crime,
what set Trump apart was his promise that we would finally win.
... We're not winning.
We're losing, and we're losing on the central promise of Trump's campaign.
How would Trump, the businessman, react if an underling charged with developing a new golf course could never break ground?
What if the subordinate's progress reports sounded like this:
I have given 21 speeches to various chambers of commerce and neighborhood groups, assuring them that there's going to be a golf course.
Everywhere I go, I say,
- "Don't worry about it. It's going to be built!"
I have put up a sign saying,
- "Golf course coming!"
Trump would fire that employee so fast your head would spin.
We want the ruthless businessman we were promised.
