I'm not disagreeing with you here, but what I'm saying is that he's predictable and because of that, I wouldn't count on this being the end of it. Remember the last time he played tough and encouraged the government shutdown back in January 2019, the ultimatums, etc., and remember what happened? As much as I dislike Pelosi, she's a much better dancer than Trump and she owned him in that rendition of the Potomac Two-Step.

Did you see the video footage from his return to the White House last night? Dude landed on the lawn, walked up the steps and visibly was struggling to breath after taking his mask off and tweeting that we shouldn't be afraid and that COVID is about the same as the seasonal flu (while also taking high dose IV remdesivir, dexamethasone and an experimental antibody cocktail; a drug therapy combination that literally a few people in the entire world have access to right now). The White House could be on fire and he'd stand in it and look you in the eyes and say it's fine, until it's time to jump out of the window. His strategy has always been and will always be the ego-driven tough guy who projects strength. It is what it is, and nothing he says or does on social media should ever be taken at face value.
