WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said she trusted President Donald Trump’s sincerity in working to protect so-called Dreamers brought to this country illegally and that the effort to shield this group from immigration would not include cuts to legal immigration.

“When we’re talking about this legislation to protect the Dreamers, yes I do trust that the president is sincere in understanding that the public supports that overwhelmingly, the public supports not sending these young people back,” Pelosi told reporters.

1. As crazy as it sounds

I actually do believe that Trump doesn't want to deport Dreamers.

The only reason he's doing it is because he's desperate to notch a "Win" and throw red meat to his base for 2020.

16. You are not wrong

But that speaks to his cowardliness. Just like his phone call to the Mexican President where he basically admitted that The Wall was just an election gimmick for his base. This promise appealed to the basest of his base. He knows that if he pulls too many pieces at once from the precarious Jenga game he is playing, his base may turn on him. And he lurvs his peeps more than anything.

2. I sure hope she's just playing him like a violin!

[FakeNoose]

17. Better - she gave him two scoops of ice cream!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Yeah, because once he says he'll do something he always follows through.

Just give it another 24 hours. Trusting Trump is a fool's game.

4. I hope so-he has a history of burning people he has had agreements with.

5. I wouldn't trust Trump

He's a snake.

7. I don't think she does.

I think she's just trying to seed doubt in the microminds of the Deplorables.

6. trusting a known grifter.

okay, have fun with that.

8. Headline doesn't match her quote.

She said that she trusts that he understands that the public supports not sending them "back".

These misleading headlines make me crazy!!!

10. The thing is, it's

...how it will play in the MSM. It's a more incendiary headline than what she actually said and they will run it the misleading way to to stir up clicks, eyes, ratings. Controversy sells. Sells the products.

It's an unfortunate nuance and the RW and the MSM know how to obliterate nuance.

[LisaM]

12. Sigh. I know.

I guess I'll just be on the lookout to refute it when I see it.

18. Good plan.

[PJMcK]

9. She's playing him

Representative Pelosi is making a nice statement so Trump will hear it on the news and feel good about himself. She's manipulating him to accomplish her goals.

[iluvtennis]

11. I sure hope so. Don't Trust Don the Con at all - I smell a "hidden agenda" with his outreach to Dems

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Like the way Pelosi framed her response.

Talk about a Campaign Slogan if Trump pulls a about face. Video at Eleven.

[bluestarone]

14. hell he will pardon everyone else

he might as well pardon all of them and be done with it

[yardwork]

15. Pelosi is handling this like the pro she is.

The goal is to prevent deportation of Dreamers. Go Nancy.
