Many have observed that Trump . . . is looking to create a pretext for a much harsher crackdown. This makes Saturday’s No Kings protests even more consequential. In the event of any violence, whether from protesters or agent provocateurs, the president will doubtless seize on it to expand his power.
Yeah. This administration has made it clear they will never do the right thing and will violate any agreement. There’s zero reason to negotiate with them.
It’s whybthe Dems CANNOT back off on the shutdown. Trump’s threatening to fire a bunch of federalnworkers he doesn’t like if the Dems don’t play ball, but he’s been doing thay anyway for 10 months. There’s nothing he can threatening he isn’t going to do anyway, so there’s no reason to compromise.
