I think we all know politicians are working together and what we see is theater. Pelosi can have any number of reasons to appear a victim and it often works very well (since she isn't 'elected' by Trump supporters). MSM will pull the anti-democrat card while Trump supporters will shout this is the greatest move ever (it's meaningless in reality).

As long as the populace is contented the politicians win. Yes we know the politicians are bought so as long as they keep getting paid by the people with money (the corporations) they are happy.
