Trump announces END to government shutdown, but says it’s not over yet…
- 5 years ago
Trump announced an end to the government shutdown that will only last until February 15.
It will allow government workers to get paid AND will allow Congress time to fund the border wall.
But if they don’t get him a fair deal on the border wall, Trump says the government will shutdown again: http://www.tranganhnam.xyz/2019/01/trump-anuncia-el-fin-del-cierre-del.html
As you can see, Trump suggests the emergency option as well as another government shutdown. I think that’s because he wants to wait and see the political climate in three weeks.
But my expectation is if the Congress doesn’t give him a fair deal on the wall, he’ll shut the government down again. After having gone through this once, I don’t think anyone will want to go through it again, which means the pressure will be mounting quite heavily as we get closer to February 15th. And Trump will likely continue to hold that over the head of Democrats to use as leverage.
As I said in the comments, I think it’s a good strategy and I think it’s potentially a winning strategy.
