Is Shutdown a Revolutionary Strategy?

Trump is picking a fight on the wall because he is following his strategy of "break and blame." He is a thoroughly corrupt grifter, but he is also a master of labeling and showmanship. He thinks shutting down the government is win/win, marketing, and that breaking the government will get him reelected. He'd like to institute a one party dictatorship, but mostly he just relishes fighting and causing chaos. His goal is to enrage his base, use violence & overt fraud to shut down the opposition & rule by decree; and his base love it0. The could be just the first step in a break and then claim to fix, strategy. He'll claim that it was his brilliance that reopened the government when it eventually does. Despite the reality that it is his stupidity that shut it down in the first place.

But meanwhile he blames "the democrats" for not giving him his wall. I expect him to call for the power to build his wall by decree. If things escalate, and he thinks he can get away with it, he'll launch incidents to make his claims seem plausible so he can suspend congress & habeas corpus to rule by decree. I hope he never gets the opportunity.

On the other hand I'm hoping he's not that smart and is just being a pig.
