Let's be clear here, on the DACA deal Trump went back on his public promise-Democrats should be done

working with him now.
It was a very public promise to sign any bipartisan deal the men in that room came to him with that would pass.
On live TV.
They came to him with the deal and he freaked out, broke his word and killed it.
If he will so casually break a promise during a TV broadcast, like two days before, then his promises and word are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.
HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
HE IS NOT A MAN OF HIS WORD.
PERIOD! END OF STORY.
Anything Democrats do with him now is as a pawn of his, with outcomes of his choosing depending on his whim and who spoke to him last..

got to him and whispered in his ear what would happen to his base if he did that.

They'd throw him to the wolves and then he'd have nobody from the chickenshits in congress.

But he says it while DACA is alive, the court just ruled, and his admin is appealing the decision. Still trying to kill it.

It's like when he said Obamacare is 'dead', or when he said Aleppo was 'dead'. Things he's trying to kill are already 'dead'.

On edit, just got this one down page in G.D.:

Russian collusion hoax is 'dead'.

Unfortunately, that's 90% of the time. The other 10% is when he's talking about how much he hates everybody, and plans to codify that hatred, or use executive action to act on it. He's telling the truth, then.

That 2% of the time when he talks about 'love', that's a great tell that he's lying his bloated orange baboon ass off.

and he blamed whoever "talked to Drumpf between 10 am and noon" (noon being the time of their meeting). The suggestion seemed to move from being Cottonballs' and Perdition's fault, to Morbid Miller, who I suppose convinced those 2 to do a number on it.
