President Trump on Saturday claimed he never pushed congressional Republicans to pass either of the two immigration bills the House considered in recent days. But only three days earlier, he urged Republicans to pass a GOP compromise bill on immigration in an all-caps tweet.

The Republicans' bill failed Wednesday, with more than 100 Republicans voting against it.

"I never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold," Mr. Trump tweeted Saturday, referring to two failed GOP immigration proposals, one more conservative and one more moderate. "I released many prior to the vote knowing we need more Republicans to win in Nov."

The more conservative of the two bills failed to muster enough support in the House last week as well.

1. His pathetic need to never admit being wrong/failing would be merely very sad...

if he weren't POTUS. But instead it is a clear and present national security threat.

2. This appears to be a response from a child-development student?...interesting, and sadly true:

Object permanence usually develops in infants around
6 months of age. With this one, it has never developed.
If he said it three days ago, it simply doesn't exist.

Politicians may lie and be all over the place on issues, but only an incompetent unqualified fool would make it part of the public record - and then lie about it.
