So Trump kinda called off the big border crisis this morning.

I expect that they’ll quietly announce that the National Guard won’t be heading south sometime later today.

The obvious reality: The whole “putting troops on the border” is not turning out to be as popular or glamorous as Donny expected, so he’s engaged in his usual panicky decision-making by making up excuses for calling the whole thing off. The GOP got a couple days of looking “tough,” Donny got press for looking “tough,” and the media’s attention to the trade war has been diverted.
