Of course it could be you that is wrong but maybe not. After all no one seems to care if the border is closed or the wall is really a fence or that it is only 18 feet not 30 feet, and soldiers can certainly be used to diaper those poor immigrant, rent a child, refugees.
Maybe we should tax those remittences ands the money to build a few free health spas South of the border.
So let’s let time tell. For the interim, I’ll maintain the faith that I had in Trump ‘til now. The status quo is unacceptable as a long term situation. But he used the threat of tariffs to get Mexico to guard its own border. He used imminent action against Iran, halted at the last minute, to attempt to induce Iran to negotiate, and when they did not, he put on more sanctions. He used the threat of massive round-ups and expulsions, postponed at the last minute, to attempt to induce Nancy to pass his reforms. This is the pattern. Threaten, stand down, offer with threat still pending. If the two weeks pass and he does not make good on his threat, then time has told and he’s a blowhard. But he took us this far, and I’m willing to bet that he will put the pedal to the metal when/if Nancy fails to act. He is not bluffing.
