He has no ideas beyond simply getting what he demands, like a 3-year-old, so he gets up and walks out, leaving the funding of major government functions and the pay of 800,000 people suspended, all consequences of which he was ignorant, the walkout showing he can’t think of options or ways forward, all for a wall or barrier or electric dog fence or something that the majority doesn’t want and he didn’t bother to pursue in the two years he had the entire government at his feet, but the key thing is he didn’t hit the table. OK. Because that’s really important. Might make you look bad, if people think you slammed the table. God forbid you look bad.
