He's not even trying with his lies anymore, he's contradicting himself in the same sentence.
Bizarre, as usual.
Last year, the Democrats agreed to give Trump $2.5billion a year for 10 years to fund the wall, in exchange for a path to citizenship for the Dreamers. Trump said he'd sign such a deal.
But, he couldn't get enough Republicans on board and got a lot of push back from the immigration hardliners in his base. So, he reneged.
Now, he expects to be given even more by using federal workers as pawns, and has offered nothing in return. That's a sucker's deal for the Dems, especially since they wield considerably more power than they did last year.
If Trump wants to negotiate a DACA deal for more border barrier funding, the ball is in his court. I've seen nothing to indicate he's actually put an offer on the table.
