52. I agree. The only person "setting" everyone up was Trump

Pelosi and Schumer realized what was happening and adroitly turned the table on him. I think he didn’t even realize the setup he walked right into when Schumer got him to admit he wanted to close the government down. I think it probably dawned on him when it was too late.

I think they looked at each other and silently agreed to go ahead and spring the trap. I did see a lot of eye contact between them.
