Donald Trump asked Congress to come up with a bipartisan agreement that both sides would support, and told them if they did so, he would sign it. So the Democrats and the Republicans got together and, in good faith, put together exactly what the president asked for. It was supported by both sides, and it would have easily passed with well in excess of 60 votes.

But when they brought the president exactly what he asked for, he reneged on the deal.

How will the Republicans be able to trust the president going forward, knowing that anything he says today he could change his mind on tomorrow on a whim, after they have done the hard work to try to accommodate him?

So, you’re claiming it was passed by Congress and put oh his desk to be signed?

You can't believe a word he says and you can't trust him.

That's a problem.

How Will Republicans Ever Be Able to Trust Trump's Word on Anything Going Forward?


Given his well documented history, why would anyone trust Trump's word on anything?

I guess you missed the part where he said "and it would have easily passed with well in excess of 60 votes."

The dems are desperate because they are shutting down the government to protect people that come here illegally.

The dems know how bad this looks, so they try to blame the Republicans, and Trump.

People remember the Schumer shutdown, and remember why they shut down the government.

What Bill are you talking about? It certainly isn't the one for illegal kids.

Was a bill put on his desk to sign?
