Part of the reason Trump backed off his border closure threat is the reaction from the business community,

Doubtful. Somebody explained to him that it would hurt the economy badly and especially in the parts of the country he needs to win in order to be reelected and run out the statute of limitations on various federal crimes.

Anyone who believed he would do this is a fool in the first place. Yes it’s hard to separate his tantrums into actionable items and not because they all have the same oranges. But this one, no.

Amazing what certain phone calls can do…

I’m thinking about Peter Falk in the film “In Laws”…

  • Falk: (bolts out of the dining room headed for the basement to make a secret–top level–phone call…)

  • Son: (mutters under his breath)…“Dad and his mysterious phone calls…”

  • Falk: "You little snot-nose…Those phone calls put you through college!! I work myself to a position where I can make…top level phone calls to important businessmen and my own son DEROGATES!!!

DANG! I so wanted him to do that! But, remind me, is the 2020 border closing before or after we get the greatest healthcare the world has ever seen?
