Senate Republicans are grumbling that President Trump undercut their strategy for ending the government shutdown when he said that he’s willing to cut “the right deal” with Democrats on health care.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) scheduled three votes this week on a House-passed bill to reopen the government and keep it funded through Nov. 21 but failed to pick up any additional Democratic votes for the measure.
Some Republican senators worry Trump’s remarks convinced many Democrats the president will eventually make significant concessions.
One Republican senator who requested anonymity to avoid angering Trump said that the president’s comments about being open to a “deal” with Democrats had “muddied” the Republican shutdown strategy.
He may or may not understand it’s bad for most Americans…
But he absolutely understands that if the House goes back in session they have to seat new members, which means the House has the votes to force an official vote to release the Epstein list, which could very well actually pass…
He’s not a brilliant strategist, but he cares what happens to himself, and every cabinet member has a vested interest to keep him personally in power, and to keep him aware of threats to his leadership.
And the Epstein list and losing control.of the House are pretty much the only two things on that list, both of which are highly relevant here.
It may sound like a deep cut to you, but this is the main and really only shit he cares about.
The Epstein list isn’t a major deal. As shocking as that is, it’s the real truth. So, what happens when they release the files? He gets more convictions? The Epstein files are just as much smoke and mirror as anything else he posts. He’s the president, elected after being convicted, not charged, convicted. None of it matters to him. Your “deep cut” was as deep as a puddle, broseph.
You legitimately think trump doesn’t care about the Epstein list?!
It’s not deep at all…
That was the point, saying it was superficial…
You completely misunderstood it, fucked around, and agreed with me despite still not understanding what I’m saying.
I’m not even mad, I’m impressed
