Where has he played hardball? Even his cabinet is oppositional towards him, he's challenged at every step, and overall he hasn't gotten much done. If he were playing hardball he'd have his wall by now.
That's the Democrat perspective.He has failed to reach agreements to keep government open and thrown thousands of public servant's lives into financial turmoil, he has taken steps that caused children to be separated from their families. He has raised the level of fear and distrust between Americans by equivocating acts of evil from his position of power. He has worked to put the physical health and economic viability of millions of Americans on the line.
My fear now is that he is slowly finding cabinet members who will facilitate further powers that will cause suffering and division.
All white supremacists are anti-American and they should go back to their country of origin if they dont like it in the US.
No one can force a person to release their personal tax returns to anybody without just cause. That does not include assumptions and conjecture.
That's the Democrat perspective.
When Prez & Congress fail to reach agreement, both are responsible for shutdown.
The confusion results from each side believing they have The Truth, & that only the
other side should give in.
'All" white supremacists are not necessarily anti-American. You are factually incorrect.
This doesn't change the fact that Congress & the President must agree to avoid shutdown.My recollection is that Congress could come to an agreement across the aisle, but the President could not. He pushed for an agreement without compromise and thousands of people paid the consequence for his inability to broker a deal...a skill he claims he has but one that he seems unable to demonstrate.

Congress could've given more to achieve this. They chose not to.
Trump could've given more. He chose not to.
There's no reason to presume that one or the other isn't responsible.
What else would one expect from Schumer & other opponents of Trump?Logically that makes sense...but there are other factors...what was the will of the American people and who stood furthest out in their position from compromise with the strongest hand to effect a final agreement? Certainly if the President wants to proclaim he is a leader he has to understand who he is leading and take his disproportionate power to act and use it disproportionately to come to a solution.
Trump did the very opposite of that.
Schumer got it right when he caused Trump to take ownership of the shutdown.
It’s codified by statute, but there are also constitutional rights to privacy.Our right to privacy isn't specifically codified in the Constitution.
This gives government great leeway in how it may be abused
or protected.
Black letter law is always up for interpretation. That’s why a person can object and win.And that code specifies who gets to see your returns and under what conditions. And it specifically and clearly states that when the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee requests to see a return the IRS chief shall provide them.
The same code states that the power to deal with individual tax returns has been delegated to the IRS and the Treasury Secretary shall not interfere.
Black letter law does not change because you don’t like it.
You’re missing the point.If I were to write you a letter, put it in an envelope with your name and address, affix proper postage and drop it in the mailbox, I cannot claim that it is a violation of my privacy if you open it and read it.
This is exactly what happens when you send in your taxes.
What side of the road do you drive on?Black letter law is always up for interpretation. That’s why a person can object and win.
It depends.What side of the road do you drive on?
What else would one expect from Schumer & other opponents of Trump?
There have been shutdowns under both Pub & Dem Presidents.
The Dems & sympathetic media alway blame the Pubs.
They always rationalize it by criticizing the other, & praising their own.
Note also that Trump was the one who caved, thereby ending the shutdown.
It depends on whether or not you are following the law.It depends.
I speculate that he thought it politically useful.Why did Trump at one point own the shutdown?
You're still painting a one sided picture.He knew he was standing on the edge away from what anyone but his base wanted. And what they wanted is not a consensus desire. He wanted to take the point because it boosted his hero status with his base and it boosted his us against them politics. It promoted the devisiveness that he thrives on. None of this speaks to the partisan position but to his "style" of leadership. It is a style that is highly destructive to our country if it is to retain any sense of unity.
We, as Americans, have so much more in common with each other and humanity in general than Trump makes us able to easily remember.
An American never was, is not, nor ever will be a "white" person. An American is someone who celebrates their personal history without denying the right of others to openly celebrate theirs and participate as an equal. Anyone who espouses white supremacism should leave this country because it is not their country by philosophy, morality or legal right.
