Trump Is Now Promising Immigration Reform Plan (plus, a New Healthcare Bill by Tomorrow)

Has he become a Democrat, ridiculously desperate or just mentally ill?

“Well, we’re going to be doing a healthcare plan. We’re going to be doing a very inclusive healthcare plan. I’ll be signing it sometime very soon…. It might be — it might be Sunday, but it’s — it’s going to be very soon.”

“We’re also doing a full immigration plan. We’re going to take care of a lot things that, for 25 years, they’ve been trying to get an immigration plan. We’re going to be doing merit-based immigration. I’m sure you’d be happy to hear that. But it’s merit-based. It’s very powerfully merit-based. It’s going to be very inclusive. It’s going to cover just about everything that most people would have said couldn’t happen, and we’ll be releasing that over the next couple of weeks.”

— President Trump, in remarks in Florida.

There's some desperate, delusional dotard ranting about his big fantasies.

Next, he will be pulling rabbits out of his ass and signing them.

That's the job of congress. And everything is 2 weeks. Guess he figures everybody will forget what he said in 2 weeks as he'll be off on another tangent.

He's an idiot.
