Well our President has backtracked on two major issues this past week; killing Obamacare and closing the border. After seeing Trump throw an Oval Office tantrum over the government shut down talks with Schumer and Pelosi...claiming they'd wait until hell freezes over before he would buckle in to their refusal to fund the wall, then cave three weeks later, I thought I was bullet proof against Trump's empty threats.
Then last week, after seeing him down in southern Texas, and promising to close the border this week if those caravans weren't turned away, I thought he really meant it this time.
Alas, he didn't. It was simply another one of his temper tantrums, threats made as empty as a liberal's head. This step back takes the cake though; he's giving Mexico a whole year to stop the northern exodus of Central and South America's disease-ridden filth....invading to game America's over-generous asylum criteria. Except now they are coming in droves....laughing at the Trumpster with every northern mile gained, then invading in droves that have overwhelmed our Border Patrol. Pretty bad time to back off his professed "hard line". Trump's "lines in the sand" are about as meaningful as Barry's was.
In the same week Trump proposed we kill Obamacare dead...and right now. He said at first that the coming budget would have to include an obituary for the Obamacare program which is bleeding us dry each year as we subsidize millions of folks perfectly able to pay for their own health care. Then of course he backed off of that and said we'll wait until after the 2020 election. Brilliant!
I have said time and again that Trump is a human tornado. And we never know when it will touch down, nor what the results will be. Sometimes he lucks out and we get something good...sometimes all we get are farts in the wind.
This week The Donald is really stinking it up.

I voted against what's her name and wound up supporting Trump, but you're right on with this. He talks a great game but doesn't walk it like he talks it. Still, he's better than she would have been. Remember, McConnell told Trump "We're not getting rid of the ACA", so RiNOs continue to exist as Dems in disguise. We will never see progress until true conservatives control the government and, sadly, that's simply not going to happen.
I share your dark thoughts, Randy. It's just too bad that what we had to settle for is less than what we need. Anyone but Hillary is an acceptable but poor choice.
