The Art Of The Bluff
Nancy Pelosi just added a chapter to Donald Trump’s book from 1987 called “The Art Of The Deal” and she called it ” How We Do #$%^ In Washington D.C.”
In one of the biggest showdowns and the longest shutdown of the United States Federal Government, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer brought the President Of The United States to the Rose Garden, humbled, to announce a deal he could have done 34 days ago. A bill that funds the government for 3 weeks with no additional wall funding.

What was the point of all this?
Back in November Trump said this about a potential shutdown according to CNN

“I will tell you, politically speaking, that issue is a total winner,” the President said, citing recent incidents at the border that he believes have motivated support for more security. He also said the $5 billion would only be for a physical barrier and that “the number is larger for border security.”

“Trump is a broken man,” tweeted commentator Mike Cernovich, a popular conservative personality on social media with a passionate following of Trump voters.
Cernovich said Trump had been outmaneuvered by Democratic U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling her an “alpha.”
Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter wrote on Twitter: “Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.”
The influential conservative news website Drudge Report in a banner headline made a point of saying the deal contained “No Wall Funds.”
News site Breitbart, once run by former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, simply posted “Government Open. No Wall.” The Daily Caller, another conservative news website, ran the headline, “TRUMP CAVES.”
Some prominent conservatives jumped to Trump’s defense, however. “If Trump fails to get a wall,” wrote Kurt Schlichter, a columnist for conservative news and opinion site Townhall, “I’ll just have to settle for only 90 percent of what I wanted.”…
