Fair enough but the Trumpster didn't have to go along with that scenario.
“Fair enough but the Trumpster didn’t have to go along with that scenario. “
the whole point of originally offering a reasonable deal like that was that Trump KNEW the Dems would reject his tit-for-tat offer, an offer than ordinary Americans would see as quite reasonable.
As Trump knew they would, the Dems reacted in a knee-jerk fashion, rejecting out of hand ANY deal that didn’t give them 100% open borders, 100% immediate legalization of dacas and other illegals, etc., sacrificing the interests of their beloved illegal dacas. This gave Trump the moral high ground and showed the Dems as being completely unreasonable ideologues who could give a hoot about dacas, and allowed Trump to repeatedly tweet those very same things, which he has done. Trump played the Dems like fiddles.
