I don’t think he is just going to walk. I also won’t claim to know the outcome but I think there’s more happening behind the scenes than we know. I think it’s a tremendously difficult operation and if it’s not pulled off exactly right we’re screwed. In a vacuum we’d be fine but as it stands if this devolves into a “hot” civil war we’re over. That’s exactly what the CCP wants, to fight an enemy divided. It’s delicate but I don’t see Trump just walking away. Appear weak when you are strong but when given the opportunity strike your opponent like the fastest animal. Remember we were promised everything would hit “all at once” and that the 20th was the only date that mattered.

Unless his standing down and backing out is what will save him and his family.
