I'm guessing billionaires are probably gamblers. They take a shot and make a killing. Think Trump wold risk a government shutdown?

If he wants Trumpcare to pass badly enough and wants TRUMPWALL to be funded and wants to pass a tax reform bill all this week won't he have to threaten folks with a very bad alternative if he doesn't get his way? How far is he willing to go? How big a gambler is he?

    He's always prepared to take risks that he probably shouldn't. After all, the man managed to bankrupt a casino, which ought to be impossible. Trump is finding himself stymied by moderate Republucans, however. The GOP may control the House, but the Tea Party doesn't have an absolute majority. His Royal Orangeness is slow on the uptake, but will have to realize eventually that "President" does not equal "Dictator". Whether he comes to this realization before or after he is impeached depends on how long it takes Congress to get off the pot and do it.
