Trump and immigration: sheer political brilliance.

I have posted on Jan 14, describing the brilliance of Trump maneuvering his enemies into shooting themselves in the foot. His performance has been nothing but brilliant. It was a post covering the breakout of gold so you may have missed the second part.

Trump had a problem with the Wolff book. Wolff did a hit piece on Trump and he was aided by the silly antics of Bannon. The Drive-by-Media ate it up and various Leftists (in and out of the Media) were starting to roll out their smear machine, opining that Trump's fitness should be examined by professionals (I. e. Leftists Psychiatrists).

Trump called a meeting at the White House, dangling the bait of a DACA bill. The Dems thought that Trump was ready to cave. After all, previous Presidents caved when the Drive-by-Media ran its wall to wall outrage machine. Trump let the whole meeting be televised. DiFi (Sen Diane Feinstein) went for the bait like a trout for a  mayfly. Trump came out of the meeting as a statesman. The Wolff book was forgotten. Then Trump asked why the Democrats wanted people from sh--hole countries and Diane Feinstein's dream of a "clean" DACA bill (i.e. where the Dems got what they wanted and Trump got us nothing) went up in the smoke of the Drive-by-Media's outrage machine.

Then came the second strike at the Dems. Trump offered citizenship not for the 700,000 illegals but for 1.8 million of them. Condition: the Dems agree to funding the wall now, abolish immigration lottery, end chain migration and base immigration on merit. Trump supporters again wondered if he were ready to cave. But no, the Dems reject a deal such as that. This time Trump is forcing the Dems to disclose their real aim: they do not just want to legalize the illegals, they want a continuous stream of immigrants who do not speak our language, do not intend to lean and will not become Americans.

Frankly, I didn't think Trump had it in him. A Republican who can make his enemies admit what they are after.
