Trump really fucked up this time and he knows it. He may have to piss off his base.

[shockey80]

He has created a big problem when he decided to kidnap kids. He is backed into a corner with no way out. He has to make a deal with the democrats and the democrats hold all the cards.

You could tell by watching him today he has no idea how to fix the problem he created. He was howling at the moon like a lunatic blaming everybody for his dumb decision.

He knows immigration is the key to keeping his base with him. How can he keep them happy and fix this problem?

Hopefully we will be able to look back one day and say this was when Trump started to lose his base. Lost support from Republicans in congress.

1. His higher level of defensiveness and lying during the presser shows this

[lagomorph777]

11. What could "higher level of ... lying" possibly be?

Is he lying as he inhales too?

[nolabear]

16. *snort!* Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

[vlyons]

2. He won't/can't fix it

He will just kick the can down the road and hope for the best come Nov. Then he will veto any bill. Nothing will change until we retake the WH and get a veto proof Congress.

[bearsfootball516]

6. That's why he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He can kick the can down the road all he wants, but the longer there's no solution, the more irate everyone outside his base will get.

[bearsfootball516]

3. I read an article a couple hours ago about how without McConnell and Ryan to save him with this...

He's flailing and floundering and his lack of expertise is really showing.

[beachbum bob]

4. Using democrats as an excuse when they control govt works for so

long.....constant whining. Well, where's the engagement of democrats?wheres the hearings and amendments??

What you mean is you have no power over democrats, soon you will find out the power of democrats first hand

[spanone]

5. He tried to 'fix it' by blaming it all on the Democrats

[Garrett78]

7. There's still the option of mass deportation.

[lagomorph777]

12. I like that option; send Trump, McConnell, Ryan, et all to Mother Russia.

[Garrett78]

15. I wish. Unfortunately, though, deportation of the asylum-seekers can be expedited.

It's the one thing Trump and Co. can do to save face with the base.

[Freethinker65]

8. Trump doesn't have to do shit. He can continue to manufacture crises and then backtrack

He will then praise himself for cleaning up his own shit. His base will lap it up.

The press will repeatedly quote Trump praising himself in the headlines and that will be enough for some people to believe him.

I hope there are enough people, who see Trump for the monster intent on destroying America that he is, to get out and VOTE.

[CrispyQ]

9. Can we keep the kids & their families & deport Trump & his base?

Pretty please with sugar on top?

[duforsure]

10. Return the children hostages you took trump

Or face even bigger blue waves taking both the House and the Senate. The outrage is growing daily, along with the damaging to your party is already growing and this is supercharging it against you and the gop. They're children, why can't they be return at once! No more excuses, or lies.

[lagomorph777]

13. Are they still alive?

Can we see photos of them holding newspapers? Preferably NYT or WaPo.

[Garrett78]

17. They don't know which kids belong to which parents. And some are hundreds of miles apart.

[0rganism]

14. i'd rather eat nightshade than work with Trump at all

congressional Democrats, beware. no good will come of it. everything he touches turns to dust and despair.

[lame54]

18. His base is still intact...

And using Nielsen's disastrous press conference as proof

[MiniMe]

19. He tried to fix it by sending Melania, with a jacket that had "I don't care, do you?" on the back
