It’s political ju-jitsu.

He extended an olive branch for cooperation and bi-partisan support, which is what the mass of barely engaged voters want to hear. Particularly Independents.

He knew he was on safe ground doing this as after 2 years of the Democrats vilifying him as Satan and Hitler and a stealer of elections there was NO WAY they’d accept the offer.

The end result is that Trump now looks like the good guy and his opponents look like unreasonable extremists.

Precisely. So if Nancy doesn’t provide funding voters will see that he did his best and has to move to Plan B.

I agree with you.

Trump took the high road.

Dems are wallowing in the mire.

MAGA.

That is my take too...he told the American people that he’s willing to work together, that he expects Congress to work together for the American people.

They’ve boxed themselves into a corner and will just look like juveniles if they don’t play ball...
