TRUMP'S SHUTDOWN TACTIC was revealed in book published 17 May 2017

As with the rest of the Trump Card Series books, it takes time for events to reveal the technics being used.  This is proving the case with page 8 of Seeking a Trump Card: The Second Fifty-six Days After Babylon the Great City Fel (Volume 2) Paperback – May 17, 2017, where the reader was told of an event which happened at the law firm Trump approached, in the early 1970s, when he entered the Manhattan Real Estate Market.

The Shutdown tactic involved was one used to disclose that which is concealed from view -- and was described on page 8 of “Seeking a TRUMP CARD”, where we are told of Real Estate CEO of the Law Firm known to the president, who, at the time consulted them in preparation for entry into the Manhattan real estate market, solved a problem by saying “Turn it off, and see who screams.”

As the readers of the May 2017 book were told:

“The idea of disrupting a system which had been in use for as long as anyone could remember, violated a principle known to all lawyers – ‘Never ask a question to which you do not already know the answer.’  In this case, no one was aware of the possible ramifications or disruptions and that made everyone nervous.  But they knew better than to argue with an individual who had turned multiple losing investments into significant profit makers.”

The historic Government Shutdown resulted in screams from TSA which, just prior to the 25 January temporary armistice, had begun to cause major airports to cancel flights and even begin preparing for the possible process of closing down.  This helped flag an area of interest to “small government Republicans” – like the prison system, TSA is another area that lends itself to being privatized.

We also had the most interesting coincidence where the Governor of New York signed into law legislation granting illegal immigrants financial assistance and full college scholarships if they had attended High School in N.Y.S. for at least at least two years.

NOTE, American Citizens in NYS do not get full scholarships that free them from the prospect of huge student loan debts.  But then, this change of heart would explain when the Senator from NY, Chuck Schumer, has suddenly come out in opposition to the 2006 Secure Fence Act he voted for during the Bush Administration and touted throughout the Obama Era.

NOTE the cover image of the book which revealed the tactic:

Note how Trump is going two ways at once -- also note Melania, who, coincidently won her libel suit against The Telegraph newspaper in Britain -- which not only paid her a hefty judgment but issued an itemized apology for its FAKENEWS story entitled “The Mystery of Melania”.
In 2017, Melania won two other cases where the Daily Mail and Mail Online agreed to a settlement that included significant damages estimated at under $3 million to settle a lawsuit.
If people had been paying attention, they would understand persisent Trump mention of FAKENEWS -- his wife is winning cases related to it, and he's cheering her on, while also attacking those he, as president, cannot sue.
