To those who believe if Trump's given his wall, he'll calm down.

Au contraire. IMO, he'll ramp up surprise legislation upon which he didn't make campaign promises.

Republicans are naive, disingenuous, or lying when they murmur that they can still control him. It's the other way around.

everyone said he got what he wanted, he'll stop now, he doesn't want to piss of the rest of the world! Horseshit. Trump will never stop, because he's Trump.

A win on any matter only emboldens him.

His lack of performance isn't really dazzling his supporters, who are fewer in number now.

You think, give the blackmailer what he wants and he'll go away.

Not so.

Especially with creatures like tRump--the demands only escalate. They are emboldened by their success and continue to demand more and more.

We are overdue to put on the brakes.
