Finally, Trump might believe that he can boost his sagging poll numbers by reminding people he's a nonideological deal-maker and by getting things - anything - done. Backtracking would be considered a betrayal, he warned.
The mention of "renovation" in those tweets also implied that no new wall would be built at all, which wholly contradicts Trump's repeated claims that any new structure would become "10 feet higher" if Mexico refused to pay for the wall. It's more like The Three Stooges at the White House.
Late Wednesday night after news of the deal broke, Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity seemed to suggest Trump had been duped by Pelosi and Schumer, but that if he capitulated, it would be "over" for him.
"Any DACA legislation must be tied to serious border security measures that stop the flow of illegal immigrants across our borders, and prevent this from happening again", Messer said in a statement.
US President Donald Trump said today that he was looking to allow people to stay here, but not ready for citizenship or amnesty, an announcement that may benefit 800,000 young immigrants, including those from India.
The justifications appeared meant to appease cascading criticism from some of the president's staunchest supporters.
In February, Coulter commended Trump's performance at a press conference, going as far as to label the president the "head of church".
Trump pushed back this morning on Twitter, saying that no final deal had been struck because a "massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent". The website Breitbart News, which staunchly supported Trump as a candidate, labeled him "Amnesty Don" and said he caved on DACA.
But one person familiar with the meeting said the president had agreed not to the DREAM Act, but to narrower legislation that would make permanent the protections offered by President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Like I've said before, I look forward to working with my colleagues and the Administration, to create a permanent, legislative solution that allows people who have only known America as their home, to stay and continue contributing to our Nation's culture, economy and history. Brady later told reporters that talks continued over what the document would contain. Meanwhile, Republicans, including many from Texas, are bewildered and concerned, even though the president says they're "on board". The "Art of the Deal" this is not.
Support for tighter security and immigration enforcement could come down to semantics, as Republicans and Democrats -and their supporters - hash out what exactly counts as a wall. "And all he had to do was just keep his campaign promise, which we all expected would happen January 20th".
"They love this country", he said. Why is that? Because Paul Ryan and many other corporate Republicans agree with them on every substantial point related to immigration.
"Disagreements over both substance and process are driving a wedge between senior House Republicans involved in the tax writing process and their Senate counterparts", Henrietta Treyz of investment advisory firm Veda Partners said in a report. And that's a bit of a bitter pill to swallow for die-hard Trump supporters.
If a deal risks alienating the president's base, said Sen.
Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., a leader of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said the caucus hasn't seen any details, and "we're not going to trade the protection of [the deferred-action program participants] for the deportation of others".
Republican efforts to unite the White House, Senate and House of Representatives behind a single tax reform plan appeared to be unraveling on Thursday, when one of the "Big Six" negotiators said the group would not dictate tax policy in the Senate. The president was talking with Democratic leaders to get their perspective.
"Although Trump has said border security should be part of any deal, Cuellar said he told them, "'The wall would come later.' So he did not link the wall to DACA". Trump and Democrats recognize the seriousness of this issue. "There isn't an agreement".
Then as he made his way to Fort Myers, Fla., to view damage inflicted by Hurricane Irma, Trump told reporters, "The wall will come later". If the wall is going to be obstructed, when we need the funds at a later date. then we're not doing anything.
