From Infidel753:
Hair Furor Agolf Twitler has just learned the hard way that a shutdown is not a winning strategy for him, and that he’s way out of his league messing with Pelosi. In any case, having caved the first time, he’ll have that much less credibility if he tries the same thing again.
In three weeks, rather than launch another shutdown only to crash and burn again, he may well go the state-of-emergency route. Such a move would make him look tough and decisive (in the eyes of his idiot base, but that’s all that matters to him), and even though it would be tied up in the courts for months, he could still postpone the day when it dawns on the Trumpanzees that there’s never going to be any wall.
Or maybe by then he’ll have bigger issues to deal with. Like a forklift driving up to the White House every morning with the day’s pallet of subpoenas from various House committees.
