I'm not losing it and I'm not lazy! Trump opens up White House immigration summit to live TV coverage in unprecedented 55-minute show to counter new book's explosive claims about his mental state
Donald Trump held 55-minute negotiations with Democratic and Republican members of Congress at the White House on Tuesday
Unlike past meetings where the press gets to hear only the first few minutes, the entire 55-minute meeting was open to reporters and cameras
The move seemed calculated to combat an author's claims that the president is showing signs of dementia Trump was articulate in the meeting and a White House aide said the sudden transparency was 'all the president's idea'
Barack Obama held two such extended open meetings with members of Congress in 2010
Trump used meeting to say that he would 'beat Oprah' but did not expect her to win after frenzy over Winfrey's Golden Globes speech
Meeting left chaos over immigration however as Republicans and Democrats could not agree on the president's terms for a deal on immigration and the wall
Donald Trump put himself and his mental faculties on display Tuesday, giving TV cameras and reporters a 55-minute look inside a negotiating session with key members of Congress about immigration reform.
In a book released Friday, columnist Michael Wolff argues that all of the president's inner circle fears that his mental faculties are deteriorating.
A White House official told DailyMail.com that keeping the press in the room for nearly the entire immigration summit was 'all the president's idea.'
'This is the president we see every day,' the official added. 'He works ridiculously hard, he's laser-focused on getting results, and he knows how to lead people.'

Daca and Amnesty !!
He is destroying. this country !
We were played folks .
He goes in with his bottom line laid down, knowing full well the liberals want no kind of deal at all and are rock solid against ANY wall, now or ever!
The President is able to smile and state he’ll “sign anything they bring him,” knowing all the while they’ll never agree to the wall, the ending chain migration nor the visa lottery!
The idiot DACA “kids” and their useful idiot cheerleaders see the President claiming to desire that they become legal, not understanding their snake supporters in Congress are only lying when they claim they want to get a DACA deal for “them!”
Bah! Terrible POV for the article. I like Dave but he does go for the ‘sensational’.
Trump’s purpose was to counter attempts to portray a possible shutdown as his fault.
And well done.
Good..it all expires in March anyway.
THe more he response to the book, the longer its shelf life.
He said he would Sign anything .!!
Then He said he would take the heat for Amnesty !!
He has sold us out folks !!!
Wake Up !
He is fir amnesty and Daca .
Keep up with current events !
Trump sold the country out to today on amnesty, effectively ensuring
President Kamala Harris in 2020 ....but at least he was transparent about it.
Sadly yes
We will never see another Gop in the WH in our lifetime .
Trump doomed our kids .
Unreal .
He said he would Sign anything .!!

Do you really believe the two house Republican congress will actually send him a bill that he can not sign?
Drink more. Lol. Sounds like you know the future and the details of all these negotiations.
Someone need to take their meds now.
I’m thinking, knowing Trump, he will want whatever he does to be HIS deal, HIS and the GOP with NO Democrat on board, just like the tax cuts !!
Trump will declare defeat of the Obama unconstitutional lie to the kids but in his character, it will be a once and a lifetime acknowledgement, these kids are here, through the fault of their families and they must earn whatever they get in the “deal.”
he said it .
It's the uniparty writing it .
Paul Amnesty Ryan !
Cheap labor Mcconnell !
the obamacare bill was a disaster written by the lobbyists .
It made it worse .
he was ready to sign it .
Wasn't he suppose to be the Disputer ?
not rubber stamping what the Uniparty cooked up ?
The Uniparty will water it down so dems get everything .
He lied about Daca .
Now he will sign a separate bill .
Another lie .
No offense .
He has lied here to our faces and moved the goalposts to,amnesty !
It’s time to fight him .
He not our ally .
He is just like Bush ,
