The entire world apparently believes that President Donald J. Trump "Caved"to the Democrats over the issue of the government shutdown.
As usual Trump had no backup in Washington, D.C. If you'll remember, last week the Republican-controlled Senate allowed two bills to be voted on concerning reopening the government.
Trump behaved as any real man would have in a similar situation: faced with a lose-lose scenario, Trump opted to go out on his own terms; to make the best of a terrible situation.
By at least preserving the appearance that he's a team player; by heeding the ridiculous calls to abandon the shutdown by the Conservative Coward Caucus, Trump maintains the appearance of unity within his own party.
Senator Lindsey Graham of all people is demanding that Democrats come to the table and negotiate with the Republicans to fund the wall, since Trump reopened the government.
In three weeks, should no movement be made in the negotiating, Trump can shut down the government again.
Up next Trump should call for the biggest infrastructure bill the country has seen - and he should work with Democrats to ensure that it happens, even as the Conservative Coward Caucus whinges about how awful having modern infrastructure would be for the country.
