President Trump Tweets Massive Damage Control After Alleged DACA Deal

Source: Mediaite



by Jon Levine | 6:52 am, September 14th, 2017

Donald Trump woke up Thursday to a massive storm after the Associated Press reported he had struck a deal with his new friends “Chuck and Nancy” to protect DACA without a promise on wall funding.

-snip-

It’s unclear what prompted the storm. Trump has been hate-viewing Morning Joe recently and the show was all over it during their first hour, (or maybe he just looked at his timeline), but whatever it was left him spooked enough to take to Twitter and clarify this alleged deal that was struck.

It was a remarkable four-part tweet storm which simultaneously denied the existence of a deal, yet seemingly confirmed that some kind of deal was afoot. He also said the wall was still a priority.






In two immediate follow ups, Trump offered a full-throated defense of the DREAMers and reiterated his past statements of sympathy for the 800,000 strong cohort of illegal immigrants.

he doesn't do "long" cons, he just bounces from one disaster to the next.

That said, I don't get the angle here. He can't cut a deal with Schumer and Pelosi, there is nothing he can agree with them sans Turtle and Ayn Rand that those two would allow to even be put into motion in their chambers.

Best I can make is, somehow punking the Ds ...

He only cares about himself, lies constantly, changes his mind every other minute, etc. He will never change. Do not trust him. Actions speak louder than words. Do not allow yourselves to believe or trust him ever! CAUTION!

but I really wonder what would happen if a bunch of dems started flooding the lines praising the switch.
He responds to *anything* positive - why not use it to advantage?

We're working together means we're not.
The Wall is repairing existing fences.
Revoking DACA means I want them to stay.

What?
