Trump blew off suggestion to meet with Black Caucus over immigration reform: Youve got to be jokin

Trump blew off suggestion to meet with Black Caucus over immigration reform: ‘You’ve got to be joking’

According to the deep dive by the Washington Post into Donald Trump’s combative meeting with Congressional leaders over immigration reform, the president abruptly scoffed at the idea of meeting the Congressional Black Caucus to get their input.

Skip.........

With the Post reporting that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly helped kill the bill, the report notes that attendees were taken aback by Trump’s attitude, particularly when Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) suggested the president should sit down for a face-to-face with black members of Congress to allay their concerns.

According to the report, Durbin suggested to the President that he might find more support if he spoke with the CBC in order to get their buy-in.

The report states that Trump was “curt and dismissive” saying he was not going to fashion his immigration policy based upon their demands.

He'd have been all over it if they'd said they wanted to talk about re-opening immigration to Liberia, though.

Assuming he didn't wonder why black people would want to borrow books...

to the White House?

"...that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly helped kill the bill"

Fuck this racist piece of shit "general". The fact that this POS made Flag Officer is proof that the Military promotion boards are NOT a good check against racists pieces of shit rising to the highest ranks.

When Dems take power, one of their singular goals should be to yank his fucking military pension.
