Trump: 'Mexico has got to help us at the border'

President Trump said Mexico needed to help secure the U.S. border after tweeting there would be "no more DACA deal" and threatening to "stop" NAFTA on April 1. (Elyse Samuels/The Washington Post)

With Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve.

THE BIG IDEA:

Donald Trump is either woefully uninformed or intentionally misleading the American people about one of his most consequential decisions as president. Which is the more charitable explanation?

With a trio of temperamental tweets on Easter Sunday and three follow-ups this morning, ..............................
The president then falsely claimed that there are “big flows of people” who are sneaking into the United States “because they want to take advantage of DACA.”

In truth, to be eligible for the program created by Barack Obama, immigrants must have lived in the United States since 2007, have arrived in the country before they turned 16 and have been younger than 31 on June 15, 2012. Anyone who came after does not qualify.

Trump’s erroneous musings capture in miniature six features of his presidency:

1) This is the improvisational presidency. There is no strategy. There is no message discipline. There is no process. Every modern White House plans out policies it wants to roll out months in advance. There is no calendar now. No one has replaced Hope Hicks as communications director. “Infrastructure week” has become a punchline. These tweets, which upended the news cycle, clearly weren’t vetted.

2) Trump does not understand how Congress works. He’s demanding that Senate Republicans use the “Nuclear Option” to pass his preferred immigration legislation with 51 votes, instead of 60. In February, though, only 36 of the 51 GOP members voted for the bill that reflected his demands.
................................................

3) The president does not think through the second- and third-order consequences of his decisions. He’s undeniably motivated by a desire for instant gratification. ............................

Just like he does not care that ending the filibuster ...............................

Trump’s new tariffs, meanwhile, prompted China on Sunday to retaliate against a range of American agriculture products. ................................

As he pushes to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear agreement,................

4) Proximity is power in Trump’s White House.

Most aides spent Easter with their families, including White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. But Trump was accompanied for the past four days at Mar-a-Lago by senior policy adviser Stephen Miller. The former spokesman for Jeff Sessions in the Senate is the leading advocate for nativist policies in the president’s orbit. More than anyone else, he’s torpedoed the prospect of a bipartisan breakthrough on immigration by encouraging Trump’s base instincts.

Because Trump lacks many core convictions, he’s often swayed by the last person he speaks with before making decisions. That’s one reason staffers are even more eager to travel with him and be around the Oval Office than during a more traditional presidency.............................

Trump also had dinner on Friday night with Fox News host Sean Hannity and then golfed with him on Saturday. Hannity has long been a hard-liner on immigration, and something he said might have rubbed off on the president.

2. I haven't heard anything about Miller

in relation to Russia or obstruction.

The Miller guy is a white supremacist racist piece of garbage, but up to this point I don't think he's "tainted".

I don't think Dump cares at this point. He thinks he's untouchable, just a couple of firings away from stopping the investigation and his base has his back.
