#4 Ace of Spades, Dec. 20, opined that "Too much 'Option C' with Trump", viz:
Option A: Is what Trump asks for, but the bureaucrats raise every possible horrible problem and outcome in implementing it. Option B: Something that Trump will never want to do. Option C: Something presented as the "Reasonable Solution" and What the Entrenched Bureaucracy wanted to do in the first place.
