Trump wins by picking up the phone and connecting with McConnell. “Hey, Mitch, I just wanted to touch base with you on the DACA thing. Here’s the thing, I’m not signing a damned thing legalizing these illegals, not unless you have attached to it both funding for the wall and a definitive statement that the jurisdiction of the United States under the 14th Amendment does not include anyone born in this country or its territories to at least one parent who is a citizen or a legal permanent resident. Yes, I mean that. Put it on my desk that way, and I’ll sign it within 5 minutes of it arriving. Otherwise, don’t waste the courier fee to send it over. Buh-bye.”
