So, let’s see what the heck happened today.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump said he was happy to announce a deal to end the partial government shutdown. The government will reopen fully for the next three weeks.<\/p>\n

The deal doesn’t contain a nickel for The Wall, the element he told us incessantly was essential for any path to reopen the parts of the federal government that had been shuttered.<\/p>\n

He rejected earlier Democratic congressional efforts to broker the deal that didn’t include money for The Wall.<\/p>\n

Then today he said he would do precisely what he refused to do. He refused to accept the Democrats’ demands. He closed part of the government down, boasting that he would be “proud” to take responsibility for shuttering the government.<\/p>\n

Conservative talkers such as Ann Coulter (pictured), political pundits and lawmakers are now saying that Trump “caved.” My goodness! I thought the president was the toughest man in the room, the guy no one messed with, the man who could cut the greatest deals in human history.<\/p>\n

I believe we are being “led” by a wimp.<\/p>\n\n
