Former President Barack Obama is planning to speak out if President Donald Trump announces his intentions of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Politico reported.
Obama’s current plan is to post a statement on Facebook and Twitter, a source close to Obama told Politico.
Politico was first to report that Trump is planning to announce Tuesday that he is ending DACA in six months. The program grants legal status to undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.
Obama launched the program through an executive order in 2012 and suggested at his final press availability as president that he may speak out if Trump decided to end the program.
I don’t get it.
Doesn’t this make it more likely that Trump will do it?
OTOH I wouldn’t get into an any-number-of-dimensions chess game with our greatest President.
Don the Con wants President Obama to speak out if he ends DACA to show his racist followers why the program needs to end. Today’s GOP and its corrupt leader Trump “get off” on annoying liberals.
It’s sickening but I guarantee this is what these cruel, evil scum want.
Maybe he’ll be adept enough to hang this and all the other failures on the GOP without even mentioning it outright.
These people hate him that much, to the exclusion of pretending to be human about some things.
I’m expecting the exact same thing.
What is this a double dare?
Why the hell wait. If it worth defending do it now
As soon as Trump said he loved the Dreamers, that was the curse of death for DACA.
Just ask Trump’s first two wives.
