Today's column from Dana Milbank shows a history of BunkerBoy's threats and outcomes:
"Friends and foes alike have learned that his threats are hollow. When Trump in 2018 threatened Iran with CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED, the Iranian president said there was no need to respond to empty threats. North Korea continues its nuclear program without Trumps threatened fire and fury. During trade negotiations, Trump said a deal with China was contingent on respecting Hong Kongs status. China made the trade deal and is now quashing Hong Kongs autonomy.
When Trump declared that American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, nobody paid him much mind. And when Trump said he has the absolute right to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities and we hereby demand that they be taken in, states and cities ignored him, and nothing came of it."

Nothing but BULLSHIT - and a RepubliCon Party surrounding him and letting him get away with it (yeah, I'm talking to YOU, Moscow Mitch McTurtle!!!).

(16,616 posts)He's made good on a lot of threats too, for example shutting down the government in December 2018, sending troops to the border, and yanking our troops out of Syria and leaving the Kurds to be slaughtered by the Turks, and getting "his revenge" following the Impeachment trial in the senate by firing exceptional public servants, and declaring an emergency to build parts of his shitty wall, and blowing up a national monument here in Arizona to build it, and revoking Top Secret clearances from great patriots, and rolling back four decades of environmental protections, and so forth.
But of course I hope he's bluffing about this.
