What Did You Expect? Trump Truth?

On August 22, as President Trump stood in front of a disappointingly small crowd in Phoenix, he addressed the possibility that money for his beloved border wall would not be included in the bill needed to fund the government past the end of September. “Believe me, if we have to close down our government, we’re building that wall,” he said.

Now, he’s backed away from the the threat, telling Congressional Republican leaders that he’ll sign a bill to kept the government operating even if it lacks the $1.6 billion he wants to begin construction on 74 new miles of wall.

But he didn't say it at a rally.
The “continuing resolution” that Congress will use to fund the government will likely expire in December, when we’ll get to do this all over again.

But now that Trump has twice threatened government shutdown over funding of the wall and caved when his bluff was called, he will want to come up with a new threat by then.
Not necessarily. He's unburdened by reason.  He can keep playing the same hand. But how long before even rally-goers quit showing up? Maybe not long, if the Arizona rally was any indication. And then how long before Trump stays locked up in his rooms and just tweets shit all day every day?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
