Trump: Schumer and Pelosi will be forced to do 'real deal' on immigration

Source: The Hill



BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 06/21/18 08:39 AM EDT

President Trump said Thursday that Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will eventually "be forced to do a real deal" on immigration.




Trump's comments come amid both the immigration debate within Congress and the fallout over his administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which caused the separations of undocumented children from their families at the border.

The president on Wednesday signed an executive order permitting undocumented families to remain together.

The House is slated to vote Thursday on two pieces of immigration legislation.

--This developing report will be updated.

We have a mentally ill man in the White House. To make matters worse, the repubs in DC are his enablers.

They need to make right for these families and children who were damaged by trump by making them citizens now, before anything is done to the immigration laws, and all children returned at once to their parents. Nothing should be done in Congress until this is done. This was wrong, and those that refuse to make this right for them need to be ousted from office asap. I would say deport them but that wouldn't be right either.

I spent years negotiating multi-million dollar contracts. Donald Trump is a terrible negotiator, and the type of opponent I would always gladly welcome.

He is a gifted snake-oil salesman, but he's in way over his head when negotiating with professionals.

Negotiated million dollar machine and equipment sales here. He's no pro in any sense of the word.

People like that tend to puff up their achievements, brag a lot, name drop and engage in other counter-productive monologues where we pros just sit back and wait for them to run out of steam. Odd how I'm seen this primarily in folks who outspokenly pride themselves on being 'great' at negotiating or deal-making. Hardly!

My expertise was movie union contracts, and I would especially encounter blowhard producers with an inflated sense of importance like Trump.

In fact, Trump is an inflated sense of importance blowhard producer himself.

*light goes off*
I just now had an epiphany why he appears to me to be a terrible negotiator. It's because he is EXACTLY the type of person I would sit across the table from---weasel producers.

Thanks heavy equipment person! You've taught me something about myself.
