Dictator Don tweets his ignorance....




DACA was implemented in June 15, 2012




Republicans want to fix DACA far more than the Democrats do. The Dems had all three branches of government back in 2008-2011, and they decided not to do anything about DACA. They only want to use it as a campaign issue. Vote Republican!

Not being able to read his Daily Intelligence Briefings and tweeting while it's happening, now that's ignorance plus stupidity and just asking for our country to be hurt.

DACA didn't exist before 2012.

I can actually hear Trump getting dumber.

The Dems had the White House and Congress in 2009/2010, and the repukes had the court. Is he really that stupid, or does he just lie and knowingly regurgitate crap for his base that will believe anything?

I'm not making a joke here. I wish I were. But, sadly, I'm not.

How could they have "fixed DACA" in "2008-2011" given that the policy emerged in 2012? During the span Trump mentions (which includes the last year of the Bush presidency and the first year of the current Republican House majority)...

The DREAM Act bill, which would have provided a pathway to permanent residency for unauthorized immigrants brought to the United States upon meeting certain qualifications, was considered by Congress in 2007. It failed to overcome a bipartisan filibuster in the Senate. It was considered again in 2011. The bill passed the House, but did not get the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster in the Senate. In 2013, legislation had comprehensively reformed the immigration system, including allowing Dreamers permission to stay in the country, work and attend school; this passed the Senate but was not brought up for a vote in the House. The New York Times credits the failure of Congress to pass the DREAM Act bill as the driver behind Obama's decision to sign DACA."


Oh wait - maybe because he is a shameless liar?
