This is a deft move by Trump. He is forcing the MSM networks, who were all set to spend a day attacking the Trump admin for following the precedent set by previous admins, into either changing their programming or quietly applauding Trump’s EO.
It should be very hard for the MSM to go on TV today and give the POTUS kudos for giving them exactly what they were so worked up about. And it changes nothing, except that it keeps families together which in my book is a good thing.
IMO this will just empower the media, celebs, et al. to continue their attacks and feeds their ego because it works (in their mind at least) “See what WE made him do!!”
I agree. Trump knows the media’s game, and he plays them like a fiddle. Funny how they haven’t figured it out yet. I guess Wily Coyote never learned either.
I disagree with those who say that Trump is capitulating. Trump knows that the goal of Liberals is not to solve a problem, it’s to attack him, no matter what. So he has to get up on the floor and dance with them, and then spin them right into a wall. Bush, Romney, etc, never learned how to master this tactic.
