President Trump took the unprecedented step of inviting the press to his opening negotiations with Congress on immigration reform. Especially following as it did in the wake of widespread reports that the president was clinically senile, his performance was brilliant.
He defined the terms, controlled the room, counseled compromise, and made a public commitment to do the same so much so that it threw his own supporters into a tizzy.
The press was then dismissed from the discussions because real negotiation tends to get messy. As Otto von Bismarck once said, If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.
It was then, in the smoke filled, sleeves rolled up, Lee Cobb attacking Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men moment of the negotiations, that President Trump noted Haitis dysfunction, and similar problems in a few other countries.
Nobody is suggesting tht President Trump said anything different than candidate Trump. He believes that permitting immigration from nations where the newly arrived immediately become dependent on the state imposes too heavy a burden on those already here and does not place America first.
Bad link.
Trumps Dr. is on Fox right now saying that Trump asked for was given a difficult mental cognitive test and passed Exceedingly Well as a part of his physical.
Now its time to require it for congress.
It’s Dickless Durbin, and his willing accomplices in the media, and on the left, who are starting the S storm....ONLY THE MEDIA CAN START A MEDIA FRENZY,
If Trump actually said it, I agree with him 100%. If he didn’t they need to shut up...even IF he did say it, everybody has heard about it, so...shut up.
Do not forget that one of the contributions to the total mess in Haiti was President Clinton’s meddling, forcing the removal of General Cedras, the West Point graduate & Haitian patriot, who had overthrown the Marxist Government, which Clinton restored!
