The "shutdown" is a grand distraction.

It should be obvious to every American by now that Donald Trump will do anything to protect himself from the laws of our country.

The latest episodes of distraction include the Jim Mattis resignation, as well as his Chief of Staff at the Pentagon, and the pullout of all the troops from Syria, as well as the government shutdown over the construction of a wall at our border. When it rains, it pours. Especially when the Special Counsel is getting so close to The trump's kitchen.

We should accept that The trump is very adept at manipulating the media and distracting the public from stories that affect him personally. Goebels would be proud.
