You could see the outline of a plan. Trump would wheedle some money out of Democrats, rebrand the tweaked NAFTA as Mexico “paying” for it, rebrand the fence as a wall, and say he won. BUT THEN . . . .

extremely lame post

The normal political strategy of a shutdown holds that the president will give up

It’s even more unusual in that Trump has flouted the normal strategy

I was a little drunk when I read it and keyed in on the "Trump isn't acting like other presidents" thing, which is why he was elected.

Other than that i thought it was quibbling on the the wall / fence thing. Also the basis of the article is a claim of Trump "seething and panicking", from another article that based on rumor.
