What Really Happened During Trump-Schumer Meeting on Immigration
People's Pundit Daily ^ | Jan 23, 2018 | PPD Staff

On Monday, Democrats in the U.S. Senate caved after shutting down the government in an effort to legalize between 700,000 to 5 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., had attempted to paint the stalemate as the Trump Shutdown, but it didn’t work. After days of the #SchumerShutdown hashtag trending on social media, Red State Democrats in states the president won overwhelmingly bailed on their party, and only 18 Democrats voted “No” to break the filibuster and reopen the government.

During the shutdown showdown, Minority Leader Schumer said on the floor of the U.S. Senate that after a White House meeting Friday with President Trump, he believed “in my heart” that they could reach an agreement on DACA. The New York Democrat claimed he “reluctantly” offered concessions to President Trump on his immigration reform demands, including funding for the border wall.

He went on to claim President Trump “backed off at the first sign of pressure.”

But according to multiple sources with knowledge of what was said during that meeting, Senator Schumer was not telling the truth.

The two men never came to an agreement during the meeting at the White House. Mr. Schumer offered funding for “The Wall” on the southern border with Mexico, but refused to agree to end chain migration and the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program. For months, President Trump has publicly and privately stated that these are two deal-breakers for any immigration reform legislation passed in Congress and sent to his desk.

WRONG!
I was there. Here’s what happened:

Schumer: I want you to know that I am firm, I can not give in to any of your requests

Trump hands Schumer a printed email that says “ you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours”

Schumer expresses Rage and screams “how dare you try to Blackmail me. This email proves nothing.”

Trump clicks play on his computer screen and the audio of Schumer comes up.” So if you want me to vote for this issue, you will need to pay me $1000000.”

Schumer: this is taken out of context. But to show you that I am flexible, I will agree to include funding for your wall.

Trump clicks play on his computer again. This time a video of Chuck Schumer appears. Is butt naked except for nipple rings. Shuck grabs a naked 10 year old Haitian boy and begins sodomizing him violently.

Schumer: please! Please! I will get all of the Democrats to vote for anything. We will provide funding for a wall that goes all around USA and we will kick every illegal out of the country.

Trump: whoever said I’m interested in a deal? Get the F out of here now!

Digging sounds can be heard coming from the bathroom shortly afterwards.

See, see! He offered funding! Why can't you mean-old right-wingers just accept this, damnit?

My opinion is that Schumer was presented with an offer he couldn’t refuse. Specifically, he was shown all the dirt that Trump had on him. (Thanks, 0vomit! Thanks Bill & Hitlery! Your crack blackmail teams had plenty of dirt and now it’s in Trump’s hands.)

I heard that Schumer offered to authorize funding for the wall, but Trump didn't fall for it. Congress has authorized funding of the wall in the past, but until money is appropriated, it doesn't mean a thing. Schumer refused to appropriate funds for the wall, so the talks died.

Schumer mouthed off everything on his mind.

Trump took notes in his head.....then Trump quickly ran to his car and taped everything they said. President Trump got the "feeling" that Schumer didn't really care about the troops...he just wanted all illegals to be citizens so they could vote legally...because they're getting nervous about voting illegally.

No problem, thought I(Trump)....we can send them all back and they can stand in line and then they can come in legally and then someday they can become citizens and then they can vote. Yea...it might be 10, 12 years from now....

This is chucky (D me-hee-co) and ALL of socialist democrats giving US citizens the middle finger at the behest of their la raza masters.

Put this sorry POS, and all of the other sorry POS socialist-democrats on a plane one way to mexico city.

These bastards shut down the US government solely to protect the interests of a foreign nation.

This will end badly if not stopped.

God help you if you’re a latino, because even if you’re here legally, or have been here forever, the backlash will be severe.

California will be ground zero for the next mexican-american war.

And yes, the rest of the states ARE that pissed off at california.

Profiles in Courage. Sherrod Brown in Ohio couldn’t get out a message to Ohio residents fast enough about how he voted to end the shutdown and about how he was against it from the get go. He’s the biggest weasel in congress.
