trumps death throes (#3621)

     These last few days of the trump government shutdown are what I call trumps death throes. He is having his last little tantrum before he caves into the last two years of his appointed presidency if he lasts that long. No one is really taking anything he says seriously about who to blame is and instead even his own party is getting tired of his childish behavior. So the longer he goes into his delusion the worse it gets for him going forward. No matter that most every federal employee is now angry at him, but as you know trump cannot stop alienating anyone else while he is at it. He has scraped the bottom of the barrel for personnel to fill staff and agency jobs and still more often than not posts go unfilled.
     His tariff war with our trading partners is putting a double whammy on our farmers as the government shutdown is stalling trump's already insufficient bailout payments to them for not selling their crops. Children are dying in his concentration camps and he is blaming everyone else but himself who instituted the concentration camps policies and then didn't vet properly the staffing at those places. It is all falling apart around trump because he cannot manage with any degree of intelligence and efficiency required for his dubiously attained position. He has very few friends and I would think they are only his friends because they want something from him not because they enjoy his company.
     The end of trump is coming and what we are seeing over the transition to the new year is just the death rattle coming from his hollow soul. We democrats like Pelosi and Schumer see the evidence of his failing and are wise enough to stay away from any deal with him that gives him what he wants. He caused all of this government shutdown as a power play to force democrats to betray our principles well he guessed wrong and is now about to pay for his arrogance. He hasn't accepted it yet and that is why he is bellyaching as such. But soon when members of his own toxic party put enough pressure on him he will relent and though he may claim some victory we all know he is just still the arrogant little boy who once again didn't get his way.
