DT's arrogance, stubbornness, and of course his stupidity by insisting on a border wall or a prolonged shutdown played right into the hands of Nancy Pelosi - Congress' party leader.
DT is now in a lose-lose situation!
If he yields, his image as a tough guy is tarnished which is the only thing DT cares about, will reduce his already dwindling supporter base, and further reducing his chances of a 2nd term.
If he wins by declaring a national emergency and using his executive power to force the issue, it will provide ammunition for the Democrats to humiliate him in Congress and a constitutional squabble to limit his powers.
No matter what is the outcome, DT will lose all the Federal employees' votes in the next election who are either furloughed or working without pay, and can't make ends meet.
Furthermore, without these employees at work:
1. Tax revenue which the Government needs badly will slow down.
2. The Government will record a even higher deficit.
3. More difficulty for the Government to borrow.
4. Federal Reserve will have to raise interest yet again in making the bonds more attractive.
5. All banks will follow suit by increasing interest rates.
6. Economic downturn will follow, stock market will turn into a big bear.
Well, well, well, DT's is doomed! |
