GOP Freaks After Trump 'Deal' With Dems on Immigration

[DonViejo]

The president is, apparently, loving the perception of being bipartisan. And it’s unsettling his fellow Republicans.

An unfamiliar courtship has begun taking place between Donald Trump and leading congressional Democrats, with neither side entirely sure whether to trust the other or what good might come from their political dalliance.

On Wednesday evening, the president had dinner with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), during which a potentially major bit of immigration reform was agreed.

The two Democratic leaders said Trump pledged to sign a bill granting legal protections to DACA recipients in exchange for border security measures that did not include funding for his beloved wall. The White House disputed that characterization, saying Trump never agreed to exclude the wall. But a Democratic aide told The Daily Beast that the president had made it clear that “he would continue to fight for the wall separate from this agreement.”

As if to underline the difficulty of striking a lasting deal between Trump and the Democratic leadership, the president sent a series of apparently contradictory pre-dawn Tweets on Thursday. He initially claimed “No deal was made last night on DACA,” but he then appeared to argue in favor of the exact deal the Democrats had been pushing.

“Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!... They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security,” he wrote.

These past couple of weeks have unnerved Republicans on Capitol Hill, due to the uncomfortable notion that this Republican president is, at least for now, getting too much of a kick out of snubbing the GOP and playing nice with Democrats.

1. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer..

aren't gullible enough to trust Mango Mussolini about anything, ever. This is all a game to the Velveeta Coprolite, who is interested only in his own power, attention and financial gain.

2. no kidding

They've been in this for a long time and both know exactly who Trump is. Even if they get nothing out of it in terms of policy what they get is even more discord and distrust within the GOP themselves and between the party and Trump.

That's a huge spanner in the works that slows down everything that Trump AND the GOP wants to get done.
