President Trump will announce that he is backing away from trying to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census during a Thursday afternoon news conference, according to multiple reports.

The president instead will take executive action to direct the Commerce Department to collect the information by other means. ABC News was the first to report the development.

Lazy is what comes to mind. The courts all around the nation are by & large targeting Trump & his administration & the DOJ is still weak thanks to 2 years of Sessions.

Being a legal citizen is now a detriment.

*************

Citizens and those who legally went through the naturalization process are the losers in this. A sad day for the country. A bad omen for its future.

When would be the right time to deport those that defy our laws and demand, demand all sorts of rights that our own citizens don’t get.

“Most likely they are just lazy and the Dems just out worked them on this one.”

You’re kidding, right?

You think the reason the Republicans and RNC have been selling us down the river is because they are ‘lazy’?

Absolutely right. Caving only motivates and re-energizes them.

I can hardly wait to hear what the next backtrack/retreat will be.

Trump is Obama with a sales pitch geared to the right.

Not at all. I am just referring to this particular issue. The Dems have been all wee wee’d up on redistricting and the census for years. The GOP not so much. Even though POTUS is fight for more GOP seats which will mostly be filled with establishment types. The is GOP content being the minority, apparently.

The left is learning that if Trump is all we nationalists have going for us then they really have nothing to fear.

It’s all 4-D chess! Trump will appear to cave and cave and cave, but then... on the very last day of his presidency, in the limo with the President-elect on the way to the swearing-in....BAM!! It was all a Brilliant Trap. He will suddenly win on everything. The millions of of third-world migrants who entered on his watch will be so amazed they will all leave the country by noon that day.

Illegals aren’t a problem because of Trump. He probably wants whatever want but reality is hitting and he has about 10 people in the whole government who agree with him. As such, he has a hard time getting what he wants.
