“All of that was true then, and it’s still true today, but now it’s been reduced to ‘speculation’ that Trump might support a deal he flat-out put on the table himself.”
The article fails to mention that Pelosi said she was not interested in DACA. Trump withdrew the offer. He never stipulated to an unlimited time.
The article tries to portray Trump as acting in bad faith in negotiations. That’s a lie. He offered. They refused.
In negotiations one side does not get to claim ALL of the concessions or offers of the other and give NOTHING in return and then claim the other side is acting in bad faith.
The president was helping them out by putting something they claim to want on the table. Turns out there is nothing they want badly enough to allow Trump to build the wall.
But this will backfire on them when he builds the wall without their help and they get NOTHING.
The Democrats claimed that if the government was temporarily reopened they would negotiate. They are not negotiating. They lied. When the government gets shut down again, it is their fault for lying and acting in bad faith.
“...lying and acting in bad faith...”
Common practice for the democrat party....
Maybe he'll accept their deal of 22 billion and build the wall anyway using other funds...
