My gut says we’ll come to respect what Speaker Johnson did in the 12 months prior to President Trump’s return to the Presidency. All of these continuing resolutions and stand alone spending bills are like artillery shells spent in an effort to hold the line.
We get so focused on what we believe he should be advancing, we lose track of what he has stopped. If I was President Trump I would much rather inherit a patchwork of temporary and stopgap measures that will expire, than a slate of longer term bills that will be a complete pain in the ass to repeal and replace.

This is a very insightful comment.
Totally agree. He's definitely doing an incredible dance right now. What he stopped so far has been important. Plus, 17.6 billion could be a clue.
