But I can’t see him doing that either, because if he was going to do that, he would have done it today. That seems like it was always a bluff that Pelosi called. Trump is irrational and stupid, but closing the government again would be the height of irrationality and stupidity for him. And, again, if he does it, great, he’s just ****ing himself again and he’ll shave another few points off the old 538 tracker and shed just a little more of his base.
