Like Nixon’s ‘secret plan’

Donald Trump didn’t want Congress to consider a bipartisan bill on immigration so he can run for president on that issue.

In other words, let the crisis fester until January 2025, if not much longer. In 1968, Richard Nixon ran on a “secret plan” to end the war in Vietnam.

In other words, let American soldiers and Vietnamese people die until sometime after January 1969. And they did die until he finally withdrew U.S. forces in April 1975. Political expediency trumps leadership.
