No surprise to me. Been saying that and being castigated for that, too.
I have always known that Trump was going to back off most of his primary rhetoric. That was Trump’s ‘Negotiating Stance.’ Pretty soon he’ll back down to ‘business as usual.’
To stop the school yard bully approach is one thing, to back off on the border issue is another. If he isn’t going to be passionate about defending our borders and removing illegals he becomes a lot less attractive to the people who have the yard signs out for him, IMHO.
The supreme difficulty of being the President of all of the people is trying to placate all of the people. We are a nation divided that does not want to come together. Globalism and Nationalism cannot coexist, nor can Islam and Christianity.
Good and Evil cannot be squished into some kind of porridge that everyone will swallow.
Trump must negotiate exceedingly troubled waters. We are in a war for the future of mankind. He must win the war and offer magnanimity to the defeated.
