Trump blames the Dems for DACA not being in the bill?

What? The GOP have control of both the House & Senate! Dems have no leverage in the bill they passed!

Turned down full wall funding for two year temporary DACA. Why would they take that when the courts already temporarily saved DACA? Dems wanted DACA citizenship. Trump refused. Dems fault of course.

Isn't Donald Trump the guy who used to criticize President Obama when he complained about Republicans blocking his agenda? What happened to the guy who used to say the blame was always with the President and the President should not make excuses when he does not get his way.
