Dealmaker Donald Trump had a deal. It was deal he said he would sign just two days earlier on live TV. It was a deal he said he would "take the heat" for if it came to that, then he buckled—and for no reason at all.
The deal would have been an all-around victory for him. It gave him $1.6 billion for the border wall he so badly wants. It gave him a DACA fix for Dreamers, the "bill of love" he'd asked Congress to give him. And it would have given him the votes to pass a long-term spending bill to both fund the government and the military, a top priority for Trump and the White House.
But Trump looked that deal in face and spit at it. Almost literally spit at it, because he had been primed by his nativist aides and the nativist lawmakers his aides had summoned to the White House to kill the deal. Mission accomplished.
Trump not only killed the deal, but he did so in terms that left the deal's brokers—Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin and GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham—speechless...
Let this sink in: Trump could have had it all—DACA, wall funding, a spending bill—then he blew it up
$1.6 billion is nothing. If we don't get all the wall funding now, we'll never get it.
Take your $1.6 billion and go fuck yourself.
You idiots must believe we're as dumb as you are.
We do not need wall funding, Mexico is paying for it. Rump said so, bleev him!
You could get Norway to pay for the wall if you tariff the heck out of them.
So Mexico is not paying? No really?
That retort don't even make sence
