Michael Cohen, former lawyer and cruel enforcer for Donald Trump during his "business" career, writes this about how Trump "negotiates":
"There’s a line I used to hear when working for Donald Trump: “The art of the deal is making them suffer until they break.” That’s not negotiating. That’s sadism with a pen and a contract.":
So, here we are, Trump demands a shutdown of the Federal Government and his terrified Republicans in Congress give him a shutdown - yessir yessir yessir....
So, who suffers? We suffer, and the poorer you are the more you will suffer, which is fine to the the fascist wannabe king, and his MAGA subservients, who openly declare empathy and compassion to be weaknesses, and to prove the point one has gone so far as to shoot a family dog who displeased her.
Welcome to Trump/MAGA/Theocratic/Oligarchic America.
Another man who has a lot of personal and reporting insight into Trump's mind is Michael Wolff who strongly advises that there is only ONE message and demand that the Democrats need to make in order to end the shutdown - EPSTEIN
Shut down the government until the Republicans release ALL of the Epstein files, and remove all the redactions of mentions of their dear pedophile leader.
Play to win. Democrats can only think in terms of policy, but they need to understand that they are in a war. And Trump only fears the Epstein files, obviously for very good reason. So the Democrats have only one lever of power over Trump - EPSTEIN.
