What Trump could do to bring the country together.

At 7pm ET....short announcement that tomorrow at 7am, all aspects of the federal government will reopen. With or without funding as a show of bringing us together. Specifically mentioned in the announcement is that the question of the "wall" will be decided later at another time.

but it would be in DT's best interest to do it... his followers will not fault him... they will see him as a hero (twisted, yes, but twisted thinking is what they do)...

.He could announce live, (with no questions) that the government will reopen tomorrow at 7am. No pre-conditions, the " wall" will be decided later. It would seem like a "loss" to Trump, but this would re-open the government, and the idea "of doing it for the good of the country" would go over well with many. This is not likely to happen, but it is an idea worth thinking about.
