He makes noise about rescinding it, drags out the decision, and will declare he will keep it.
Makes himself look like a reasonable person by not doing something he wasn't going to do in the first place.
This is a con.

(58,605 posts)I hope he doesn't gut DACA, of course, but it sounds a little bit like his $1 mill donation to Harvey relief. I'll believe it when I see it, and I'll still suspect ulterior motives.

He is a POS.

(5,477 posts)Every time he pulls this shit I have to ask myself what *other* news is about to break that he wants to create a distraction from.
What else are others in his regime doing 'under the RADAR' while we all concentrate on his most recent foolishness?

(28,270 posts)He loves toying with the helpless then destroying them at the last second.
Which is what he will do to the Dreamers I bet.

(15,682 posts)He's not "making his decision". That's a done deal (though, I have no idea what it is). The demented fuck is enjoying his game of cat and mouse with the poor dreamers. I can just picture him - a mouse clenched between his teeth, evil smile curled up around it, drool rolling down his chins.
The only question is, with Bannon and Gorka gone, at whose feet will he drop the mouse when he's done playing with it.

(16,313 posts)But just playing devil's advocate, I think it's possible he ends daca to appease his followers. It looks like Harvey could put a crimp in his wall plans so he may need to pivot. Daca going away would be like catnip to the deplorables and when he can't get the wall done he can say "well at least I got rid of the daca".
