Castor Oil

The heel biters have won. They have brought down their prey, Donald Trump, with his decision to sign the omnibus $1.3 trillion spending bill -- a "Christmas tree" so laden with hundreds of special-interest spending that its branches are figuratively breaking. But this tree doesn't have a nickle for"the wall" and, as a result, Donal Trump is humiliated. He has faced his moment of truth and he has blinked. And now all his enemies ... from Chuck Schumer to Kim Jong-Un now unfortunately know he is blinkable.

There is the feel of a Greek tragedy in his last minute decision not to  listen to his gut and, rather, use the excuse of fully funding our military ... as his lamo rationale. Whether voters will remind him of this capitulation this fall and in 2020 cannot be known. But, for this voter, it will be like taking a large dose of Castor Oil.

Afterthought: I would take my bitter medicine and vote for Trump because, from what I have seen of possible Democtat candidates, voting for one of them would be like drinking lye.
