Trump proposal for ending government shutdown

Trump's speech is about border security and an offer to end government partial shutdown.

But first, Nancy Pelosi rejected the offer, having not heard the speech. So whatever Trump says Pelosi rejects it.

She's decided the safest way for her to deal with Trump is to not engage him at all. Rather, simply make demands and refuse everything else. No deal for you, Dealmaster.

Such patent nonsense that suits only the most rabid Democrats.

This allows Trump to present himself as the reasonable person contrasted with  Democrat intransigence. While media says the word "impeachment" 500 times each minute based on bogus debunked BuzzFeed reporting by Mueller no less. The wrongness of the reporting is irrelevant to the coordinated plan of "impeachment" dominating the national discussion. 

Trump had to have known Democrat leadership will reject any proposal. He's forcing media to cover him and his position and to cover Democrat responses. Apparently he's trusting over time people will see the nonsense on the Democrat side so far as he can force media to cover it. Hopefully he has a solid Plan B, C, and D.

They did the same thing last year.

The God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne plays them like Nero's fiddle.

Maybe Trump is "building a case", if you will, that the democrats failure to negotiate, allowing the partial shutdown to continue, will, at some point, constitute a National Emergency.

His tweet to Nancy today gave me that impression.

How many of the millions who get their news from the MSM will ever find out that Pelosi rejected Trump's proposal sight unseen? And that is just one of the ways in which the MSM will misrepresent what should be an obvious win for Trump.
