Plenty of folks were blaming Trump for the shutdown, etc. But today he showed the world that he is willing to negotiate…but the Democrats aren’t.I am estimating that withing the week (or perhaps 10days), the Dems will deal. The final deal may or may not be what Trump offered today, but it will be significantly in his favor (we all know that a master negotiator is going to start high, giving himself some bottom for dealing).Thoughts?It seems certain to me that most of the political pain of the shutdown had already been endured. People EXPECT Trump to be stubborn, but I don’t think they expected the same from the Democrats.Trump could/should have played it as Folks, I am inviting them to negotiate, but they refuse. It’s on them. At the same time, the newly emboldened Democrats have already shown that they will gladly burn down the world to please THEIR base.
I certainly hope that some good comes from it, not sure the dems are ready to show any give yet. I hope soon this ‘situation’ is soon behind and we can go on to the NEXT cross roads….. Or apparent dead end. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
