    I feel like it’s a misdirection. Like, this isn’t what he really wants. This is a ploy to get/do something way, way worse. Or use this to cover up the Epstein files or something. He’ll use the shutdown and a hot button topic to get what he sees as a big fish…

      Why couldn’t it also be what he really wants? What part of anything happening in the US and anything coming from the right could possibly signal that they don’t want this?
