You seem to have been downvoted, possibly for how quippy your comment is, but there's some indication that this reasoning isn't far off. Earlier this week Trump made clear during his televised immigration policy meeting that he would sign anything Congress actually sent him, which seems like a very odd position to take when you consider that immigration was Trump's signature campaign issue.
- cryptonector 9y agoIt's easy to say "I'll sign anything you send me" if you're certain they will be unable to send anything. It is risky, sure, because the unexpected can happen. The next day he also gave a summary of the meeting that was very different from what attendees thought. The meeting was a made-for-TV moment, so you should take it in with lots of salt.
- brewdad 9y agoThe day Trump starts vetoing bills sent to his desk is the day 25th Amendment proceedings hit full stride.
- cryptonector 9y agoCan you explain? (I don't mean the 25th Amendment.)
- cavanasm 9y agoI believe parent post means that Republicans will stop protecting Trump the instant Trump decides not to pass their legislation, since they have control of Congress, and Mike Pence is an establishment dream president.
- cryptonector 9y agoThat seems facile. I don't believe it. I guess we'll see.
