Hard to overstate: trump is taking up almost every issue that splits republicans. Immigration. Massive spending increases. earmarks. Many conservatives think it’s corrupt. Some think it’s a constitutional prerogative. Yowza.
Trump, in many ways, is leading republican leadership down a really, really treacherous path.
What perhaps the White House doesn’t understand: many conservatives in the House will vote against DACA unless it comes *months* after security measures. What an odd disconnect.
A surreal moment: I’m getting texts and emails from members and aides hearing this from trump, and they’re incredulous.
Amazing moment: trump says we’re all on a similar page. Steny hoyer is sitting next to him shaking his head.
Trump ends this amazing moment by saying hill leaders are gonna need to come up w details — dropping this massively complex tangle of issues on the hills lap. And predicting oprah won’t run.
