Faux News is saying that Trump is announcing end to DACA TOMORROW. He is desperate to get his face

[anneboleyn]

on the news. Really, he announces a pardon of the idiot Sheriff last Friday because of "ratings," his "tax plan," his pathetic visit to Texas (for which he got panned), more anti-transgender in the military, and now an END TO DACA?! This shallow, narcissistic creep is so desperate to get on the news that he is willing to do something vile like just "announcing" an end to DACA (which will obviously affect millions of lives). Trump deciding to end DACA (one of the most popular and important programs we have concerning the children of illegal immigrants) right NOW?!!!

Folks, he is doing this now for ATTENTION. He did the same with his bullshit rally about "tax reform" AND the pardon announcement, etc. He is an empty shell desperate for news coverage, and it's pretty damn obvious he doesn't give a SHIT about the people suffering in Houston. Trump is a very sick individual. He wants to be on teevee so he'll do anything that will bring him attention.

I am guessing that Huckabee will say a bit more about the extremely ill-timed DACA announcement in the White House presser so I will update.

Update: Huckster-bee won't give a firm answer to the reports. She keeps saying that "no final decision has been made" (suurrreee)

1. I bet he will want those names of the shelter residences from the hurricane

for some reason I picture ICE going to these shelters.

[anneboleyn]

3. Oh god that would be so disgusting. He isn't trustworthy and he changes on a dime for "ratings"

[SummerSnow]

6. I can see him doing that and saying he's the law and order Pres.

[HopeAgain]

2. I lost one of my best friends before DACA

He was brought over from Brazil by his undocumented parents when he was 12. He was over 35 when his Florida Driver's license expired. He grew tired of living looking over his shoulder and decided to move to Brazil.

I was sad to see Obama enacted DACA after he left, but it looks like it would have only postponed the inevitable.

So very sad my America can treat human being like this. I am ashamed for my Country.

4. Let's see how cruel this bastard really is.

[anneboleyn]

12. Oh, I think there really isn't a bottom.

[underpants]

5. He shouldn't do this but if he does it's because he fears losing some of his base

Yes, I know some will NEVER leave him but some will. He knows how bad his polling is and where it's going.

[anneboleyn]

11. Doing it now seems like a bad idea even for his base but I guess we will see.

[JonLP24]

18. 34% will follow him off a cliff no matter what

[NightWatcher]

7. It's a regular episode of Dickhead Move of the Week, Friday 5pm edition

[anneboleyn]

9. Yep. One of the reporters in the WH briefing asked a question related to it -- we'll see if more

questions are asked about DACA. But yes he is a total scumbag.

8. Send a fax your state congress to oppose this. Text RESIST to...

50409 and they will send a fax that you compose to your state congress. free. Tell them to oppose this move LOUDLY!

[world wide wally]

10. So answer me this...

When he gets rid of all the Mexicans living in the US, who is going to rebuild Houston?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. We're getting closer, people...

14. Pathetic

Though I doubt they did it for the ratings, Presidents have the ability to get coverage when there is a disaster just by showing human reactions. Think of all the pictures of leaders there after tornados, floods, etc. Think GWB after 911. Think Obama and even Chris Christie in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Though it seems wrong to say it, it is something where any reaching out brings people together and it is very hard to not look good.

Trump managed to make the story him tweeting he saw the suffering up close -- when he didn't, attacking Mexico - as it offered help - and he did not even respond, Melania wearing heels that I admit I could NEVER have walked in on any surface at any point in my life. What did NOT come across was any empathy at all.

[anneboleyn]

15. Trump does everything for ratings. He even says this himself. He miscalculated the Harvey visit b/c

he has never dealt with human suffering in his life. He has to fake empathy, and he can't do it.

[karynnj]

16. Completely agree, but I was surprised he could not pull this off

It wouldn't take much. Have the Texas Governor pull together a small group of people devastated. Pick people from his base or pick a charming young couple where the wife is a ringer for Ivanka. Throw in some kids. Have them tell their stories. Trump was a TV reality star - certainly they could tell him how to react - or even give him a script.

[RainCaster]

17. Why doesn't he build that fucking wall himself?

He is so damn rich, and he builds such beautiful things. He should build it himself, and then he can charge Mexico whatever we wants.

Perhaps then he will stop all his grand-standing over stupid shit.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. I absolutely despise that POS and his entire administration. Anything they

can do to destroy lives and up the hate, they do.
