Other presidents declare NAT EM quietly - no one cares.
President Trump strategically announces a potential NAT EM, then threatens one, then reminds of the threat. He slow walks it.
The MSM can’t ignore it, and but can’t even decide if they should ignore it or exploit it.
The House / Senate knows the theatrics won’t effect Trump’s ability to declare NAT EM.
This is the banging of a drum intended to wake people up and get the nation’s attention on something mature and relevant.
A few more millennial basement dwellers might crawl out of their cave and blink and wince at the brightness of the light.
A few more sheep might recognize the wolf snout under wool worn by the leaders they trusted.
Is today F-15, NAT EM day?
We will certainly find out.
