In two days, the US House will convene and pass all sorts of wonderful legislation, including, the Violence Against Women Act, DACA, Pre-existing Medical Conditions and a return of the government to full functioning. If the US Senate passes any of it; with McConnell still in leadership it will be nothing but obstruction; Trump will veto it.
Donald Trump does not care about the American people in the way they want a president to lead to provide a better quality of life to them. It is my estimation what he will do is write his State of the Union Speech and tell the country he is not reopening a full one-third of the government.
That is called LEGISLATION FROM THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. It is unconstitutional. See, Trump has the idea he has control of reopening the government even if the stupid wall is built. That is not correct. The only reason the government is shut down is that without the omnibus budget gap funding it is necessary to trim down the expenses of the USA government. However, that shortfall will end and Trump will be required to open all the government again.
In his state of the union address, Trump will seek to build political momentum to rid the USA of one-third of the government. He will state "small government" has been the dream of the Republicans for some time now. He promised he would defund the government by a full quarter/twenty-five percent each year for the next four years he was elected to office. So far that hasn't happened.
Up to now, the legislature has supplied a budget that pays for a federal government. The Congress to date believes such an idea of defunding the federal government is wrong, but, will it stay that way? It is my estimation everything Trump says in his State of the Union will be embarrassed by McConnell and for the next two years the Republicans will play with political rhetoric rather than have the government function the way it should. Once again, the Republicans will not face the message the American people sent to Washington, DC. Once again it will be obstruction politics by McConnell. He knows nothing else and is determined to show the American people need to reverse their desire for a functional government and settle for the government the Republicans hand them.
The Republicans will seek to destroy the hope leveled with the votes of 2018. They will depart from responsible and reasonable governance and attempt to punish the American people for their votes. That practice by McConnell and Trump is called obstruction and with it comes a domino effect that will ultimately destroy the USA Constitution, both in spirit and word.
