“THERE IS NO ENDGAME”: WHITE HOUSE AIDES FEAR TRUMP HAS TURNED THE BORDER WALL INTO HIS ALAMO
“The president put himself in a box” as Trump tries to fight his way out, his new chief of staff already eyes the exits, and Giuliani worries about Mueller’s possibly “horrific” report.

ighteen days into the standoff over his $5.7 billion wall-fence-barrier, Donald Trump is rolling out his heaviest weapons: a prime-time Oval Office address tonight and a visit to the Mexican border later this week. It’s the president’s personal Alamo. Inside the West Wing, Trump has told aides he’s prepared to stake his presidency on making a last stand. “He has convinced himself he can’t win re-election in 2020 unless he gets a lot of the wall built. It’s fundamental to his id,” a former West Wing official said. “The problem is, the Democrats know that.”

Trump’s aides fear he has given himself no way out. “The president put himself in a box,” the former official in touch with the White House told me. “The problem is there’s no endgame. Right now the White House is at a seven on the panic scale. If this thing goes on past the State of the Union they’re going to be at an 11.” Another prominent Republican close to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described Trump’s handling of the shutdown as “total ****ing chaos.”.....

Nobody knows less about "the deal" than baby phony sucess Donald (Bozo Lannister) Trump. Pathetic! Everyone in New York that knew him knew he was a phony and a con artist and none of you still will look at the MOUNTAIN of evidence of the truth. Not very hopeful about a country that blind willfully.:roll:

Maybe when Trump said that he intended to take a hatchet to the Abusive Administrative State, then immediately after he got to town got to work on the project, maybe folks should have noticed.

YES, it is President Trump's Alamo/Waterloo.


*****


He is finished.


His enemies have won.


The celebrations (especially in Hollywood) will be deafening.



Even though it will be cold comfort, President Trump will have the last laugh, of course.


When he is 100 years old, repentant Democrats will beg him to forgive them for their role in overthrowing him and say, "Sir, we never imagined in 2019 how right you were about the consequences of open borders."


President Trump will just smile.

OBAMA: And if he got the most votes, then it would be my expectation of Hillary Clinton to offer a gracious concession speech and pledge to work with him in order to make sure that the American people benefit from an effective government.

And it would be my job to welcome Mr. Trump, regardless of what he’s said about me or my differences with him on my opinions, and escort him over to the Capitol, in which there would be a peaceful transfer of power.

That’s what Americans do. That’s why America is already great. One way of weakening America, making it less great, is if you start betraying those basic American traditions that have been bipartisan, and have helped to hold together this democracy now for well over two centuries.

With Trumps diet of fast food and expanding waistline, not much chance of him making it to 100. But hey, I am sure the funeral attendance will be bigly, set a record.

His endgame is to build the wall. There is no need for all these mental contortions trying to figure out the obvious

And he certainly hasn't run out of tactics to use to achieve his endgame.

He has a BIG box.

Its like inviting the motorcycle gang to party at your house and then expressing complete shock that they trashed the place.

You schtick is so old, played out and debunkable you really don't merit reponses. Funny that one in such a clinical state of denial can think themself a "truth teller". :2rofll:

He'll declare a national emergency, and declare victory. It will all get lost in the courts.

Tomorrow Trump will create a new outrage, and damage another institution/group of people.

Give Putin credit. He's getting yuge ROI.

I'm sure the base will be represented.

Maybe some of these "very fine people"?

If I were President, I would change my requirements for full funding of the government to 20 billion for the wall.

I remember. It was part of the reason I lost a grant funded job. Not that I was doing anything important; just fundamental research. No bigs.

"I never thought that the Leopard would eat MY face, after I voted for the Leopards Who Eat Faces Party."

The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things.

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

If I were President, I would change my requirements for full funding of the government to 20 billion for the wall.

Which would then force Pelosi to rescind her offer of $1 for the wall. It would also solidify the narrative that trump and republicans are exclusively responsible for the shutdown (although that conclusion is pretty much baked in by now anyway).
