President Donald Trump on Monday morning continued a rant about immigration and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that he started on Sunday, blaming the failure to restore DACA, a program he decided to end, on Democrats.

Trump’s Monday morning tweets echoed comments he made Sunday on Twitter, when he blamed Democrats and Mexico for weak security at the border.

His angry weekend tweets about immigration came after he huddled with Fox News personalities at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, as CNN noted. Trump met with both Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity, per CNN, two conservative personalities who push hard-line immigration views.

  1. Yep. The Democrats killed DACA when they issued that Executive Order last fall.

    “Act now Congress, our country is being stolen!”

    I do agree with this plea. But, it would appear the Republicans in Congress refuse to act. So, please act now, Mr. Mueller. And act in November, voters.

  2. I stand by my belief that trump’s tweets are no tintended to convey any information but are rather to satisfy his own warped appetites, but even with that in mind these are just out of touch with reality. Somebody really needs to ask him some basic comprehension questions in an interview. What is DACA? Who ended it? Who does it affect? Not even asking him policy questions, but just to verify he retains some connection with reality.

  3. DACA may be dead…not because of Democrats but because of Trump.

  4. It’s clear that this racist president was only going to lift one finger to the DACA kids–the middle one.

  5. Seems like “the Donald” is direction-ally challenged:

    Mexico has the absolute power not to let these large “Caravans” of people enter their country. They must stop them at their Northern Border,

    As far as I can tell Mexico’s Northern border is the one with the US.

    What a dolt… he needs someone to proof his tweets who knows geography.
