reply to: The problem is you are fixated on this move. Trump is working on three moves ahead.
wow...seems I have heard the “he’s three moves ahead” so many times, yet, we are all in the craper so many times...are any of the deep staters, coup de’tat and other fouls, sulfur smell SOBs suffering a damn thing yet? Where’s the measly $5.7 for a drastically reduced wall? I know we have won a few things, but really at what cost? Man I wish he were so far ahead of us all - I really really do!
Pretty simple. The government entered a partial shutdown because the Congress failed to pass all of the required appropriations measures and send them to the President for his signature. Did I miss any vetoes on his part? No, I didn’t, the Congress failed to act.
The President intends to act through executive authority, but he must do what he is doing now in order to make his case before the Supreme Court that he has followed the normal process and the Congress refusing to address the border security matters that represent a national security threat. A challenge through the courts will certainly occur and when he comes, he will be ready.
