I believe POTUS is trying to limit conflict with the GOP to prevent it being known how little of the government he actually controls. He’ll never get reelected if that truth came out.
There’s an existential crisis at the border and in D.C. The 2 things that PJDT HAD to do to save America was drain the swamp and build the wall. Nothing is being done on either of those fronts.
It’s bad. I’m going to assume that he’s under the gun of the corrupt state because the alternative is too depressing to contemplate.
