DON SURBER: Trump taught Republicans how to win.

Chuck Schumer handed his head on a plate to President Trump last night as he surrendered on shutting down the government. After 40 days of slithering to the microphone each day with a new rant to an increasingly bored media about our favorite president, Chuck realized the futility of shutting down the government because all he did was anger the Democrat Party’s key constituent—welfare recipients—and leave helpless airline passengers stranded in city after city.

Trump meanwhile went about his life as usual, savoring every minute of his final presidency. He went to Asia and signed historic peace and trade agreements. He declared Columbus Day to be Columbus Day. He brought Big Pharma officials in to announce they are cutting prices. He golfed. He threw a big dinner at Mar-a-Lago. He paid the troops despite the shutdown.

Oh, and he kept putting sombreros on the head of Hakeem Jeffries in pictures and videos. Hakeem denounced the videos as racist and the media went out of its way to condemn it as deepfake.

Everyone else laughed and had a good time at the expense of the Dollar Store Obama. . . .

The reported ended, “According to a White House spokesperson, the ‘sombreros will continue until the Democrats reopen the government.’”

So Axios warned of a backlash from across the aisle.

What backlash? The Democrats have no power. They are a bunch of hapless fossils and children who cannot take a joke. In other words, they’re losers.

Oh, they won elections in blue states last Tuesday. Big Fat Deal. They are still losers and Trump showed them for who they are. Nothings.

Plus: “Trump gave Senate Republicans a tutorial on winning. They sat back and watched and took notes. With the exception of the preening Rand Paul, the senators hung together and showed the power of patience.” I’ve always been a fan of Rand Paul, but he seems to be joining the crowd of Republicans I once admired who can’t handle so much winning.
