I agree mostly. Thing is, it's different when you put deadlines with nearby dates and have the White House issue statements. I think this is a bluff but he might wait a month or two before blinking, or maybe the Mexicans blink first, we'll see.
my thought as well it does make it different but he's not one I'd bet on keeping his word and he won't really be held accountable for it by his base if he doesn't anyway
the bluff and nothing changes then make a new threat tactic isn't working but I doubt he suffers from it politically much so it's not like he has any real disincentive to stop being Trump
He threatened to shut down the border for like 2 months straight and everyone just selectively forgets it or laughs it off
He will turn it into some minor meatless win for his base in one way or another like usual and in reality it won't do shit
