Some details from LOSER45 immigration mtg this evening:

Trump was invited to help seal the deal on the two House GOP immigration bills - namely their compromise - but some members left meeting unclear about what exactly he supports. Meeting was brief, he veered off in many directions and didn’t take questions, adding to uncertainty

Rep. Gosar told me this when asked about Trump’s attacks on Mark Sanford during meeting with House GOP: “We didn’t care for that”

Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a vulnerable R, told me he was disappointed Trump did not explain why he couldn’t fix the issue himself.
“Yes,” Curbelo said when asked if he was disappointed in Trump not saying why he couldn’t end policy immediately. “We should stop this.”
Multiple Rs said Trump made clear the images of the children at border do not look good.

Rep. Weber: “He said, politically this is bad..he said it’s not about the politics it’s the right thing to do” Rep. Peter King said: “He said that the images .. they look bad, they are bad”

Trump, entering the Capitol, tells reporters that the immigration system is broken and "we're going to try to see if we can fix it." He doesn't take questions.

Sanford was critical of Trump.
Sanford was savaged in his primary by pro-Trump interests.
Sanford lost and the message is crystal fucking clear - YOU DO AS I SAY....or you join Sanford, period.

Trump is a dictator that MUST be stopped, plain and simple. He is turning the USA into a fascist state before our eyes.
He should be removed from office....by:

Anytime he thinks it's to his advantage. Hopefully they will turn on him especially if they get routed in novembet.

11. Trump doesn't actually know the policy details, and he lacks the spine to commit to anything,

so he's totally useless in helping craft a compromise bill. We saw this with health care. We saw this with taxes. Why the hell do the GOPers not remember his uselessness? The worst pundit in the world could have accurately predicted he would contribute zero at this meeting.

Trump's gonna sign whatever they put in front of him, and claim it is whatever he feels like claiming it is, regardless of the reality of the bill or executive order. How do you think we got the policy that's being enacted now?
