Trump Promises DACA Decision Friday Or Over Weekend: 'We Love The Dreamers'

Source: Talking Points Memo




By MATT SHUHAM Published SEPTEMBER 1, 2017 1:35 PM

President Donald Trump said Friday that he would announce a decision on the future of the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” program (DACA) “sometime today or over the weekend.”

“Should Dreamers be worried?” a reporter in the Oval Office scrum asked next, using a shorthand for young undocumented immigrants who have been shielded from deportation by DACA.“We love the Dreamers,” he said. “We love everybody. Thank you very much.”

“What do you say to the Dreamers who are scared right now?” a reporter asked later.

“I think the Dreamers are terrific,” Trump replied.

herr drumpf is perverse that way.

My nieces teachers at a small, private university that recruits dreamers to give them the opportunities their parents came to this country for. Many of her students will be devastated by this.

Run for cover. He's about to screw them, bigly.

It's unforgivable to even contemplate ending DACA. Some of those kids have been here all their lives. Dump is a monster.

and we are being played. Dump is doing something totally outrageous approximately every 48 hours; either a stupid tweet, a stupid campaign rally, a stupid interview, a stupid threat...... Just something stupid that will cause everyone to to go "Huh?" and talk about him non stop until the next stupid action. Half of the time he never follows through, or he does whatever, and it gets challenged in the courts and he loses anyway. This is "keep the eyeballs on the screen" crap, and it's exhausting and terrifying and honestly, I wonder how much longer we can go on this way.

Innocent people who've never known anywhere else but the US as home. What were they supposed to do as children, tell their parents to move back to Mexico?

I hope Mueller/Schneiderman take every dime this scumbag fuckhead excuse for a human being ever thought of having, and makes him spend the rest of his life in Precious "Sheriff Joe's" torture prison tent in he searing Arizona heat. Handcuffed, with blood coming out of his "wherever".

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchiefs
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?"
But answer came there none—
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

based on the fact that everyone else wants to keep it. (Paris, NAFTA, Civil Rights, etc.) Hasn't he always done the exact opposite of what everyone else thinks is a good idea? Remember, no one can tell trump what to do.
