Trump and the Battle for the Border: A Bellicose Bulldog and Bully...or actually a Submissive Spaniel?

No, let me once again stress - 'methinks thou dost protest too much!' - I have no essential truck with Donald J Trump or his political philosophy (if he can legitimately be said to have one as such!) Nevertheless, on the matter of the *southern border wall and all the endless furore it's created, which as we all well know, far from abating over recent days, has only increased to the max, let me say this:

if Trump's pugnacious doggedness and bullheadedness only serves to reveal a thoroughly nasty dude at heart, then how come he's been simultaneously 'negotiating' with Democratic Party representatives (in particular) to grant the huge number of undocumented Mexican children known as 'dreamers' legal residential status within the United States?

Or could it well be that - indeed let me here and now postulate that - this entire saga is much more subtle and nuanced and multi-layered than the inveterate anti-Trump brigade (and their political representatives) are letting on or are prepared to admit...

*However with what's going down these days with fighters from Sissii International returning post-Syria to Canada, methinks he may well have to pay lots more attention to something similar - and infinitely more serious - with America's northern neighbour in times to come...
