44. I actually think he's done.

He lost big on this. I didn’t think he would ever capitulate. I fully expected him to declare an emergency today, but I now realize that was a bluff. This is the first time Trump has ever lost a battle. He is a broken man, seriously weakened by what has happened. He thought his moves were brilliant and that he would be able to triumph over the Democrats, build his wall, be wildly popular, win re-election, and go down in history as the greatest president ever. I believe he has finally hit the wall of reality and is still a bit stunned by the impact.

The guy, like all narcissists, is basically a cockroach. He fools people into thinking he’s strong, but at the end of the day, he’s just an empty coward.
