Say what you'd like... he did not give in. He reopened government for 3 weeks to make a deal, and he said if they can't make a deal, we shut down again, and he builds the wall through emergency measures anyway. He then used his spotlight to give very persuasive arguments for the wall. Tell me you didn't visualize that woman bound and gagged in the back of that car driving across the border. It was powerful and hit on how big of a problem human trafficking is... a fact that most people don't understand. Drug deaths in the tens of thousands per year. Crime. And best of all, it gave Trump the optics of being the reasonable one... the one trying to help all the families affected by the shutdown... the one who wants to make a deal.

And we may get the SOTU next week now? Prime time red-pilling.
