Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday that negotiations to protect young undocumented immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program have turned into an "s-show."
In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Graham said it was clear that both President Trump and Democrats, particularly Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), wanted to strike a deal, but that both sides would have to compromise to get there.
"This has turned into a 's-show' and we need to get back to being a great country where Democrats and Republicans work together to do something that we should have done years ago," Graham said. The South Carolina Republican said that there appeared to be "two Trumps": one that spoke compassionality earlier in the week about the need to reach a fair deal to protect DACA recipients, and the other that rejected a bipartisan proposal on the matter later in the week.
"So Tuesday, we had a president that I was proud to golf with, call my friend, who understood immigration had to be bipartisan, you had to have border security as essential, you have border security with a wall, but he also understood the idea that we had to do it with compassion," Graham said. "I don't know where that guy went," he added. "I want him back."

Or, since his son was killed, he's scapegoating, and if that, then he's sick and needs medical attention.
Someone, a journalist needs to look into his Army career. Someone will talk.

This is why he is the worst business negotiator in history. Why every business he has goes bankrupt and the ones that dont are because of the 1.7 billion russian money poured into them.
