Trump Hears from Immigration Hardliners

“Retreating from the White House for a three-night stay at his Florida estate, President Trump heard this weekend from a parade of allies — many on the Fox News payroll — that his base believes he is softening on immigration,” CNN reports.

“It was one takeaway from a long holiday break, during which Trump surrounded himself with the type of unwavering allies he’s struggled to find in Washington… Facing a variety of sticky decisions, and without many senior-level aides, Trump sought the counsel of those he believes speak for the voters who elected him President.”

“His conversations — including on Saturday with Jeanine Pirro, who has previously rankled some senior White House aides for her ardent views on the Russia investigation — led up to a burst of tweets on Sunday and Monday morning in which Trump blamed Democrats for weak immigration policies.”
