Trump flinches

Agreeing to reopen the government for three weeks in return for talks involving the Democrats but no wall money, Bozo promised that if he doesn't get his wall money at the end of that time he will either again shut down the government or declare a national emergency and build his wall on his own.

So, this will turn out to be a surrender or not depending on what happens in three weeks, since I can't see Pelosi giving him more than the dollar she mentioned some weeks ago.

But during these three weeks the pressure for her to give him rather more wall money than that from wusses among Democrats and in generally pro-Democratic media will escalate.

She has from the first not only called the wall stupid but labeled it immoral.

She has from the first said, in any negotiations, she would be willing to give him some wall money, exactly one dollar.

So we'll see not only whether Trump has surrendered, but whether Pelosi will.

Trump Concedes to Democrats After Month-Long Shutdown and Will Reopen the Government — Temporarily

And of course the TV broadcast another ten or twenty minutes of him lying to us all about Democrats, immigrants legal and not, and blah blah blah.

Only yesterday Mick Mulvaney was telling us the White House was planning on continuing the shutdown for months, if the Dems wouldn't first give the Duce his $5.7 billion in wall money.

Recall that for King Charles I it was about ship money.

It's always about money, for these assholes.
