Trump will not get his wall in three weeks, what will he do?

[shockey80]

Lie again and claim victory?

[Kurt V.]

1. he will shut down the government.

but more selectively

[Dave Starsky]

3. Exactly.

He'll make damn sure those airport security people are paid.

There will still be unintended consequences, though, that will bite him in his ample ass. Trump is like Wile E. Coyote, though nowhere near as intelligent or articulate.

[underpants]

2. Nothing

He’s bluffing.

Let’s say he declares an emergency and draws most of the money out of the DoD. First it looks really bad as weakening the military. Second but most importantly the military contractors will be stomping mad and he doesn’t want that.

[Bengus81]

4. He won't mouth off with "proud to shut down Gov" or other stupid statements

And then....for flatly refusing to negotiate (which means give him everything he wants), him and every Republican will blame it ALL on Dems when he pulls the plug again. Dems IMO should have never gone with that three week time frame.

Wait for it,it's coming to a TV near you..............

[Takket]

6. Good point...

They will probably reframe the new shutdown as our fault. That’s why they wanted the reset.

[Brawndo]

5. He'll declare an emergency

and dozens of lawsuits will immediately challenge it. Federal judges will halt construction and he will be able to tell his Magats that he tried.

[Luz]

16. this

[duforsure]

7. He better forget his threats for a wall he promised Mexico would pay for

And focus on the walls closing in around him , his family, and all those others involved with him and russia , and corruption.

8. Have a great fall?

[Maeve]

9. Well, he's having a lousy winter so far!

[tanyev]

11. Ha! Ba Dum tsshhh!

[Bayard]

10. Plant Nancy's flowers?

Or hang the beaded curtain?

[Vinca]

12. Throw poo out of his crib.

[Goodheart]

13. His "off to the races" tweet yesterday tells us he intends to declare an emergency

He won't get his wall, but it's his only way of saving a little bit of face with his supporters.

At that point I intend to relentlessly remind his supporters that ok, he might be trying, but he's still A LOSER.

[Buckeyeblue]

14. He'll blame it on Republicans. Say they are too weak.

[SeattleVet]

15. With any luck at all...

ask his cellmate to stop laughing.
