With the recent temporary deal to keep the government funded until Feb. 15th, I feel that there is more going on behind the scenes than people realize. With the major arrest of Roger Stone before dawn this morning the attacks against the Trump administration continues unabated and at full speed. This may have weighed heavy on Trump's mind and caused him to agree to this temporary fix to give him more leverage later. He has already renamed the funding for the wall as "border security" so it looks like the democrats didn't give an inch on funding for the wall. Pelosi and Schumer are now bragging about the power of the Democrats and that Trump underestimated them.

In my opinion, Trump will try a new strategy with an "end around" that issue and come at this shutdown from another angle. The principle option politicians have at their disposal is to address an outward emergency, like a war, and cause the nation to focus on that issue instead of the other issue they were failing at. It is possible that Trump will exploit the chaos in Venezuela and send troops to "help" save democracy. There are also several other global hot spots where a war could break out at any time at the drop of a hat.

We must realize that Trump is fighting for his political life. Any re-election is out of the question since he has lost too much of his base the past two years. Now he is simply fighting to remain as president for the remainder of his term, and so far he is losing that battle. Each time he makes an announcement he spins the situation to make it sound like a win, when in fact he is losing ground. This disconnect from reality is becoming openly pathological and downright tiresome.

The big question to ask is: Why didn't he announce an emergency and take control of the situation? Trump's advisors apparently have advised him not to take that action because the counter attack he would receive from the liberal Democrats would be too great. It is as if, there is something hanging over his head that is preventing him from making the moves necessary to build the wall and pass a reasonable budget. He folded too easily on the state of the union speech cancelation, even saying Pelosi was right. He folded too easily on the Constitutional issue of defending the border with a wall.

It is blatantly obvious the democrats are pushing for open borders and unchecked invasion into the US. That in itself is a revolutionary act to undermine the nation and forever alter our culture in a negative way. A true American statesman is not supposed to compromise the defense, security and safety of the nation. The liberal democrats are literally getting away with murder, treason and the overthrow of this nation, and they have the defense and support of the major news media. And yet, Trump compromised with them. Why? Something else is going on behind the scenes that we can't see. Someone else is pulling the strings and levers behind the curtain as the nation stands on the abyss of national suicide. The nation has been hijacked by ultra liberal change agents that are now orchestrating the mass invasion of anti-American foreigners - so we will economically and culturally be transformed into a third world nation. What we are witnessing are political acts of war to destroy this nation. And, it appears the liberal socialists have the perfect scape goat and controlled opposition in Trump - to accomplish their diabolical globalist agenda of dismantling our Constitutional Republic.
