House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have won the battle, but she did not win the war. When the deadline for the next round of closures of government branches comes to fruition, President Trump will be found blameless or at least that is the way he planned and sees it.

He is laying in wait for the next shutdown and Pelosi will be the heavy. Trump will then close the government again, only he will be using the National Emergency clause to build the wall after all. He will give congressional Democrats just enough time to seal the fate of the border wall, which will be built.

Trump is a high-powered businessman. It is in his blood. Just wait, watch and see. He will build the wall. Don’t underestimate him. He is highly intelligent and very crafty.
