Trump: My immigration plans aren't set in stone; Parts are "negotiable"
Politico ^ | 03/01/2016 | Hanna Trudo

Donald Trump says parts of his immigration proposals are “negotiable,” but only minor details about his border wall.

In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday night, Trump responded to a question about a recent claim, first introduced by BuzzFeed earlier in the day, that he told The New York Times editorial board in an off-the-record tape-recorded meeting that he may not follow through with his proposed immigration measures if he is elected president.

“The New York Times is claiming today that they had an off-the-record conversation with you in January,” Hannity started.

“We had a board meeting, it was off-the-record, suddenly they leak it, it’s all over the place,” Trump said.

“They said it’s negotiable on the wall,” Hannity said in reference to Trump’s stance on Mexican immigration and his oft-stated promise to build a border wall.

“By the way it is negotiable. Things are negotiable,” Trump said. “I’ll make the wall 2 feet shorter or something.”

Trump was quick to add that the negotiation does not include nixing the idea altogether.

“Building it? Not negotiable.”

Would it be negotiable about the 11 million?” Hannity pressed. “Maybe let some people stay if they register in a period of time?”

“I would say this,” Trump answered. “We will work out some system that’s fair, but we either have a country or we don’t. We need a border. We need a wall.”

Parts are “negotiable”


They should be. That’s common-sense.

Of course they are. Just like every other position he has right now. But his supporters don’t care.

Smoking out the NY Slimes for leaking an off-the-record editorial board meeting.

Chalk up another one for Trump.

ALL positions are always negotiable...It’s a government “of the people”. He’s not going to be a dictator like Obama.

Trump is waffling even before Super Tuesday because he knows the Trump chumps will still vote for him.

All the Trumpers will pass this off as nothing.
Now imagine if Cruz had said it.

There's nothing quite like a lead to cause a candidate to let the guard down. Maybe Trump's backers will start to actually READ that twenty foot high writing on the wall?

Please?

Yeah i know. He’s going to make deals with Pelosi, Schumer and Reid. He already said that and I take him at his word.

As Reagan said, here they go again.

I watched this interview and Trump said there will be parts that are negotiable, the size, etc. Then he said THE WALL ITSELF IS ABSOLUTELY NOT NEGOTIABLE.

I was wrong again. I was certain he would wait till securing the Republican nomination to start his rapid slide to the middle, and get to where he has been most of his adult life.
