WTF is PDJT doing??

Troops out of Syria
Uh Oh the armchair generals and a few real ones have their shorts in a knot over PDJT pulling a paltry 2,000 troops out of Syria.  I do not pretend to know what the withdrawal means strategically.  I do know moving 2,000 troops is not exactly a herculean task for the US military.  If the troops can be withdrawn easily, they can be redeployed easily.

I have two problem with the move. First PDJT announcing it.  Why?  He said he'd never announce our strategies and troop deployments. In Syria, just do it. Let the world wonder what we’re up. Second is declaring victory.  We know how these things go.  We are as likely as not to be redeploying troops back into the area within 6 months. 

I’d have just quietly “redeployed” the forces, bring most home but keeping a sizable force close and capable of rapid deployment back into the area if necessary.

Government shutdown
It’s infuriating.  Our F-ed up government is willing to send 10 billion dollars south for “economic development” but not willing to spend half that protecting America.  Simple solution is for PDJT is to shut the governemnt down asking for half of the 10 billion congress is sending south then leave town until the 5 billion materializes.

This strategy has the additional benefit of giving the appearance that the money is coming Mexico.  Win, win.

The only benefit of kicking the can again is that when if PDJT chooses to shut down the government in Feb it’ll be Grand Nan from San Fran Peloser running the House and can, with some credibility, blame it on them.

I look at it differently. That scenario will allow Dope Peloser to claim half the credit - although she’s way too stupid and entrenched to take it.

What PDJT may not have known but surly knows now is that Rat establishment Republicans are going to be of zero help on this issue – or quite frankly any other issue.  They are just Dopes who have infiltrated the opposition party.

PDJT is alone in Caligula, D.C. If he fold on this issue, he’ll truly be alone as much of his base will abandon him.  When that happens, he’ll be impeached.

PDJT!!!  Shut it down.  For your own good, shut it down.
