Trump contradicts self repeatedly in immigration meeting

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump appeared to contradict himself multiple times in a meeting on immigration with a bipartisan group of lawmakers Tuesday -- a reflection of growing frustration from Capitol Hill about the lack of direction from the White House on the issue.

The President at times suggested he would be looking to sign everything from a stand-alone fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program -- set to expire in March -- to comprehensive immigration reform, often appearing to being guided by lawmakers in the room to modify his positions.

The comments came during a nearly hour-long conversation between the roughly two dozen lawmakers, the President and White House staff that the press was allowed to record -- a window into the difficult negotiations that still surround the issue of replacing DACA, which protected young undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children from deportation, and border security.

At the end of the session, Trump suggested that ultimately, he would sign whatever he was presented with.

1. He doesn't know what he is doing. nt

7. He doesn't understand that he's using DACA to leverage Dems to fund his wall.

All he really knows for sure is he won the popular vote....
and that he's really, really smart, went to college even, and is a very stable genius.

8. Has no idea what a clean bill is and if he is for or against it. nt

Edited to add: he has no idea how to negotiate a deal.

9. A clean bill is one that gets signed without Big Mac juice all over it.

10. Good one.

Really, I bet he thought it referred to something along those lines.

6. I am seriously surprised that more guys are not stroking out.

Working with crazy can be super stressful.

5. Again showing that he is a man of low intellect...

This entire BS session was an attempt to show how “presidential” he could be, yet Trump failed to even do that successful. What he did do was to show his hand as the moron he really is! Anytime I’ve been in a meeting discussion hot button topics, the people of the lowest intellects are the ones who sit there and nod there heads and say things like “Oh I agree completely with what so and so said” and then turn around and agree with someone else, all in an attempt to seem intelligent. I’m convinced Trump never negotiated jack shit as a businessman. He let his minions carry the heavy load and then showed up at the last minute to give his signature for the deal. To paraphrase Buzz Lightyear: Trump is a “sad, sick little man”

12. Trump couldn't work out a deal...

Between two little girls fighting over a Barbie doll.

He is the most inept person I have ever seen. He has no discernible professional talents whatsoever.

13. Agreed!
