Donald Trump’s TV show, The Apprentice, was big hit. Today he tried to reignite the excitement as he had television cameras in the oval office as he verbally spared with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer. His supposed purpose was to obtain their support for a border wall with Mexico. He knew they would say no but his real purpose was obvious to me. He wanted all of his supporters to know that he is doing everything in his power to obtain the $5 billion in 2019. He told the world he would shut down the government to get his way. He actually said he was “proud to shut down the government for border security” telling Schumer you can blame me for the shutdown. “I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down — I’m not going to blame you for it.”
The next step in this soap opera will be the days before the shutdown date, December 21. We can all expect more drama starting December 20 and beyond.
An interesting feature of the show was Vice President Mike Pence who said not on word during the entire program. He sat there like a statue.
Where is the great negotiator in this spectacle? He is nowhere to be found. Sadly we will be burdened with this president for two more years.
