Trump hits Dems over DACA: Hispanics will start 'falling in love' with Republicans

President Trump on Tuesday said Democrats aren't interested in fixing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, arguing advocates for the program will ult.

"Democrats are doing nothing for DACA - just interested in politics. DACA activists and Hispanics will go hard against Dems, will start 'falling in love' with Republicans and their President!" Trump tweeted.




Congress is poised for a showdown over the future of DACA, an Obama-era program that allows certain immigrants - called Dreamers - who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay here to work and go to school.

Congressional leaders from both parties are expected to discuss the program during a meeting on Wednesday at the White House.

It's that they love it when decrepit white billionaires tell them how to think and feel.

who are fleeing from their homes will pay him back dearly in the ballot box for what he didn't do to help Puerto Rico. Florida will go blue.

And the logic is hilarious. Trump and the Republicans ended DACA, so Hispanics will punish Democrats for not pushing hard enough to restore it by falling in love with the Republicans? Huh?

He's completely off his rocker.

The guy who called Latino immigrants rapists and thieves, who is still pushing for a wall that he wants Mexico to pay for, who neglected Puerto Rico during it's time of need after a hurricane and insulted their dignity by tossing paper towels at them ACTUALLY thinks they are going to start falling in love with a party that has demonstrated time and time again that it despises and discounts them?

He's untethered by facts or reality, so his mindset is an acquired choice. Presumably he comes by these nuggets of inspiration from the propaganda speakers at Fox News and the White Supremacists at Breitbart. Given the sort of people he has surrounded himself with, his staff is also doing a fair bit of apple polishing to set him on the chosen path.
