Officials expressed the concern as late as an hour before the policy was announced

White House officials have raised concerns that Donald Trump didn’t completely grasp the implications of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program before he made a decision about its future.

Administration officials privately fretted that Mr Trump may have not understood exactly what effects rescinding DACA could have, according to a report from the New York Times.

1. Yet, Trump "wrestled" with the issue for a loooooong time . . . .

2. Yes, he is stupid. So is most of the GOP and a few Democrats

Now, tell us something we don't already know.

3. Oh, more bullshit

"The President wrestled with this decision all throughout the weekend," Huckabee spawn said

4. This gives us 3 choices..

Our pResident is one of these things.

1. A complete and utter idiot who is in waaaay over his head.

2. A lying, vicious, hateful racist.

3. A combo of 1 and 2.

15. I'm Going With "3"

Glad you provide an "all of the above"

[workinclasszero]

16. I think you made the right choice

Trump reminds me of the killer clown in Stephen King's 'It'.

A lethal clown.

[kentuck]

5. So now, he's going to plead ignorance?

What next?

[workinclasszero]

6. What a joke huh?

Orange Menace: Sorry dreamers I'm an idiot DUH..

[Orrex]

8. As before...

Republican enablers will explain that he's new to politics, so he's still getting his feet wet. Then they'll smile and shrug as 800,000 children are thrown out of the only country they know.

[Iliyah]

10. Yep. Also they will

regurgitate the "he's not a career politician" BS. In other words, give him a break, he will get better . . .

7. Baloney... Trump's a hateful bigot

and he proves it over and over.
Fuck his supporters and enablers.

[spanone]

9. then make him aware. never heard such bullshit from an administration

[Initech]

11. Which of the fucking asshole billionaires told him this was a good idea?

The Kochs? The Mercers? The Waltons? Time to come out of the shadows! We need to know who you are!

[tanyev]

12. Have they tried finger puppets and felt boards?

[delisen]

13. Trump is not interested in completely grasping

the effects of rescinding DACA is more likely.

This is a political decision and the Dreamers are political pawns.

Authoritarian leaders often do not deal with the details of their policies and may have no interest in how they effect the lives of the victims or others.

14. A weekend is probably a long time for herr drumpf to think about anything.

Except himself, of course. Scary for the rest of us; in this case, especially for the Dreamers whose status is now in limbo.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Trump has no concept of the consequences of his actions...

Never has been. Certainly didn't during the election, and far too many idiots enabled him in his dysfunction.
