Remember back to his association with Roy Cohn: clout is the one thing that he desires above all else, and he's angry and confused that the presidency didn't afford him more of it.<br /><br />And from Taegan Goddard:<br /><br />“President Trump sought to go over the heads of Congress to enlist public support for his long-promised border wall on Tuesday night, raising the stakes of an ideological and political conflict that has left the doors of many federal agencies shuttered for 18 days,” the New York Times reports.<br /><br />“Yet privately, Mr. Trump dismissed his own new strategy as pointless. In an off-the-record lunch with television anchors hours before the address, he made clear in blunt terms that he was not inclined to give the speech or go to Texas, but was talked into it by advisers.”<br /><br />Said Trump: “It’s not going to change a damn thing, but I’m still doing it.”<br /><br />-Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.com
