What a dumbass.

[Me.]

1. So That's When The Cons Will Turn On Him

and demand impeachment

2. He will throw in the towel and declare victory

before it happens.

3. It's gonna be interesting to watch him pull that stunt off again.

My only concern is that he's getting desperate and may not back down this time. He needs to retain office to stay out of jail and he may go all in eventually on some lame long shot like this stupid Mexico brain fart.

4. He's a bull in the china shop.

A particularly ignorant bull.

5. The worst part is, Trump can't walk it back,

it just isn't in his DNA. Trump thrives on brinksmanship. He wants everyone to think he's crazy and willing to cripple our country to get his way, and they would be right.

Trump doesn't have it in his character to admit when he's made a bad decision. He will never confess to making a bad decision. He would rather see the US slide into another Great Recession and drag the rest of the world down with him, than lose face by admitting he's made a terrible mistake in judgement.

6. Perfect timing for 2020 voting. Just like 2008. Then we get to fix what the GOP breaks, again

7. Complete disaster.

Who could not see this coming?
