Trump need not do anything of the sort. Let it play out.

The people being hurt by this are the Deep Staters. The Swamp.

In 60 days or so EBT Cards do not get replentished. There is nothing on earth Cuck and Ninny fear more than that.

Were I them I would be looking for a back door right now.

What the Left forgets is that we constitutional conservatives would like to see much of the federal government shut down permanently. A good 80% of what the federal government does is outside the roles enumerated in the Constitution.

So a partial shutdown is not nearly as bad for us as it is for them. In many ways it is a good thing. Of course, they will attempt to highlight only those cases where the legitimate parts of government, like the military, are impacted by the shutdown - but good luck with that - the legitimate constitutional roles are mostly considered “essential services” and therefore not impacted by the shutdown.

The way I see it, President Trump is holding all the cards.
