I’m trying to figure out the “Art of the Deal” WIN since every step is less money offered. There was $25 billion on the table, then something else, then 1.6, now 1.375 and it goes on, inter-mixed with $0. Wow, I’d like a marathon negotiation with Trump to buy one of his properties. Maybe if I hold out long enough he’ll just give it to me for the change in my pocket. That seems like that is where he’s heading with these negotiations.
Funny how Trump almost always comes out on top, yet he never goes under financially.
If he has to declare bankruptcy, someone else always goes under.
I'm not a fan of Trump, but he's accomplishing a lot of good for the United States.
Now rumors have it, that there's several 'poison pills' in what's being offered to make Trump Veto the deal.
Check out Rush yesterday on
My Prediction: El Trumpo Will Sign the Bill and Declare an Emergency.
...
RUSH: ... Anyway, one more bite here, and this is from Chuck You Schumer.
This is interesting.
Schumer yesterday and then again today really, really, really begging Trump to sign this,
really trying to goad Trump into signing this.
And lets listen to the bite, and I will analyze this after it finishes.
This is today from Schumer on the Senate floor.
SCHUMER: President Trump, sign this bill.
Neither side got everything it wanted in this bill,
but both sides want to avoid another shutdown. It provides additional funding for smart, effective border security.
Let me repeat that. It does not fund the presidents wall,
but it does fund border security that both parties support.
So I repeat my request.
President Trump, say youll sign this bill. Remove the axe hanging over everyones head.
President Trump, in politics, to quote the Rolling Stones, you cant always get what you want.
RUSH: Id much rather hear the Stones sing that
than to listen to Schumer say it. You cant always get what you want, because Im [Schumer] still here.
So what is Chuck You actually doing ? You notice here that Chuck You goes to great lengths to tell everybody that there isnt any money for the wall in here, this is smart border security,
but there isnt any money for the wall. It does not fund the presidents wall.
I think hes trying to goad Trump into not signing this. Mr. President, please sign this, please.
I think hes trying to goad him into NOT signing.
I think Schumer is trying to engineer what he thinks would be another big win-win with another shutdown.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Rush, did I hear right ?You think the presidents gonna sign this ?
Yes. I think hes gonna sign it.
I dont think the president wants to wait 20 years to build a wall.
He doesnt want it to wait four years.
He wants to build the wall.
He wants to get it down now.
There isnt gonna be another government shutdown.
Theres no leverage to do that.
Theres no sense in (sigh) NOT signing this to try to defeat the Democrats.
The objective here is and I think hes gonna sign it. I think hes gonna do or declare a national emergency at some point in this.
Theyve amassed a bunch of money that they can use to complete these border wall projects that they want,
and I think thats whats gonna happen.
This is my wild guess. Well, its a little bit more than that, but its still a guess.
Its a prediction of whats gonna happen.
I wouldnt be sidetracked by the $1.375 billion in terms of IF Trump signed it, it means hes accepting it.
It doesnt mean that at all.
It doesnt mean, Oh, well. If thats all I can get,
Thats not what signing this would mean in any stretch of the imagination.
I think theres a lot of factors going into this. I think hes as committed to getting this wall built as he ever was
and is gonna see to it that it happens, however it needs to happen.
Hes gonna find the money for it elsewhere.
If they have to challenge him in the court system to try to shut him down, I think theyve got a plan ready to go it would be silly if they didnt
that could accommodate pretty much every attempt the Democrats make.
Remember, every effort the Democrats make to stop the enactment of border security is a plus when it comes
I dont know how many Americans are in favor of wide-open borders or no borders, just let anybody who wants to come in.
I know there are some, but I know there are not enough of those people to elect anybody president.
If the Democrats want to own that position, then maneuver them into it and let them have it.
I think thats the objective here that will be met along with getting the wall built.
Ive never been more certain of Trumps commitment to this than I am today, than I was yesterday, when this whole thing came up.
I think hes every bit as committed to this as he was in June in 2015 when he came down the escalator and announced his attentions regarding this.
My first instincts are to VETO that bill, but I'm not a legislator, and I'm not running for office.
The DemocRATS .... uh, I mean the Devil's in the details, and we don't have the details yet.
Negotiations are still going on.
MAGA and the "Wall" appear to have been election season Bubba-bait. Nothing more.
Trump is not who we wished him to be.
