Never before in American history has the Speaker of the House tried to usurp the authority of the President, and that is what this show-down was about. It is not the job of Pelosi to obstruct the authority of the President.
The border wall has been needed for a long time, and now that we have caravans the size of cities invading our border, and thousands of people killed or violated in crime and drug trafficking, we definitely need the border wall. You should listen to what the border patrol and law enforcement and families affected by crime are actually saying, not what your political faves and entertainment say they will do do obstruct Trump. Their hatred of Trump is immesurably greater than their love of the country.
Because it is not Pelosi’s job as speaker of the house to oppose the opposing party, she is just as guilty as Trump for the Shutdown. Maybe even moreso, because she is in charge of the funding she was denying this project. It is actually reasonable that Trump, Pence, and the Senate would not approve a budget that does not meet the needs of border patrol and law enforcement. They are actually there. Your favorite News Pundits live in Malibu or some other wealthy, cozy safe enclave. Only their hatred of Trump keeps them involved.
Pelosi, not Trump, is the one making unprecedented disregard for our traditions, national protocol, and decorum. The authority for Trump to make this call is clear, and the need is well demonstrated by the situation at the border. Pelosi’s obstanence is unprecedented in American history.
Again, calling Trump a racist or influenced by big billionares is often repeated by some of you, but has not been seen so far and is no way to win an argument—of course, some of you are saying the border wall itself is racist. Watch some footage about what is happening at the border, where caravans charge the border and law enforcement and break through the cheap wired-together bedframe barricades and tell me the wall isn’t necessary. Tell that to people who have had loved ones die in the melee.
