Harry,
Speaking of theatrics and sound bites,  whatever became of "We're building a wall and who's going to pay for it?  Mexico!"
Trump has "duped' his base again with this latest deal with Chuck and Nancy.
You can add one more "-ism" to take to your political science class:  "Trumpism".--a form of government based on false promises, propaganda full of fake news, only policies benefiting the Trump family, with white nationalism and white supremacy thrown in to capture the uneducated vote.
