If Trump doesn't stand firm THIS time, there's no reason for anyone to believe he'll stand firm NEXT time.
What is standing firm and what is not standing firm, in your view?
Yes, he has to stand firm. If Trump folds again, especially a second time, it is over. That he calls it a humanitarian crisis makes it more likely he’s been listening to Ivanka lately. Not comforting.
I look forward to Trump’s announcement, tomorrow, and I won’t speculate on what it is. But I don’t think it’s going to be some kind of end-run-around of the House, like you are concerned about.
I think the guy is a GENIUS. Think about it. The Dems have a majority in the House, now, AND HE GOT THEM TO SHUT THEMSELVES DOWN for what is already the longest period in history. I wonder how long he can keep them in their own choke-hold. “Look Mom! I’m turning purple!” - “That’s nice, dear.”
I hope they stay shut down until an election can remove the Democrat majority. Then it will be like the “Blue wave” never happened.
