    "Lawmakers find it difficult or impossible to negotiate when the president can't seem to stick to a position for more than a few hours."

    "Donald Trump ran for president as a bipartisan deal-maker. But if there's one thing he's proved after a year in office, he’s better at killing bipartisan deals than clinching them."

    "It demonstrates once again to Democrats — and Republicans — that Trump is an unpredictable, unreliable partner who cannot be trusted to keep his word. To lawmakers on Capitol Hill, there may be no greater crime. Once you lose that credibility, you’re done as a deal-maker."

    "With Trump shifting his policy positions like a change of clothes and lashing out at lawmakers for taking a political position he had recently supported, lawmakers say it becomes difficult or impossible to negotiate."

    Ryan and McConnell probably wish secretly that the President would move permanently to Florida, play golf all day, and keep his mouth shut

    He can kiss his 2018 agenda good bye, even his own party doesn't trust him

    The big deal maker has proven not to good at it

    Nice try but Trump televised the entirety of his immigration meeting and what we saw was the President going around the room asking people to contribute their opinions while telling them what he wanted.

    It was civil, it was professional, it was cooperative.

    It was everything your butthurt bigoted clown media tells isn't happening.

    He set a clear mission "I want a clean DACA bill" his words.

    That was a simple instruction to both the left and the right.

    He was telling the left not to try and muddy the waters with their snake-oil salesmen tricks of injecting budget appropriates for completely unrelated matters.

    And he was telling the right not to try and inject in more comprehensive stuff like border wall, ending chain migration, etc.

    Trump was doing exactly what a man of his caliber does: defines a clear path and tells his people to walk it.

    Talk about a day late & a dollar short credibility as Trump is decades late & more than billions & billions of dollars short building a border wall in that better never than late tradition curtailing the Christian Nation Crusade drug war against the USA which certainly, like playing checkers created a funnel for Islam Christiananality pedophile mentality "man is God" business of a second coming thru 9/11.

    Credibility? Trump has lied about his height, weight, IQ, and net worth.

    Probably be a shorter list to list the times Trump tells the truth. That said to be a lie you actually do have to know and recognize the truth so it is debatable whether or not Trump actually lies.

    And ever since saying he wanted a clean DACA bill he has demanded only a comprehensive immigration plan including his moronic wall which has now been redefined as who knows what.

    tRUmp has more daily positions than the Kama Sutra.

    I will however put some "spin" on this thread and topic............here it is and I am giving tRUmp the benefit of the doubt here:

    tRUmp is a weak "leader" and a despot wannabee and a RUssian puppet.
    When he vacillates on the GOP congress, he weakens them and brings them further down to his level. Hence, they now need him more desperately to stay in power. The relationship now becomes a co-dependency, country be damned........this gives him more chaos to climb the ladder to being a despot.

    The democrats and republicans came back to him with a bipartisan compromise then he changed his position again, are you not paying attention.

    His "clear path" was send me something and I'll sign it. Lol.

    How could Trump possibly bring those crooks on Capitol Hill down to his level since they are below bargain basement election fixing as a Christian Nation drugging the USA to continue a millenniums old pyramid scheme being just another of those serve the Pope or die crusadists.

    Really think that moronic wall will be built ? In the past 50+ years this Christian Nation has put up little more than traffic cones to curtail the "serve the Pope or die" economic business of comprehensive illegal immigrants along with drug wars against the USA.

    It was also all for show as he contradicted himself several times during and after.
    Even McConnell said they'll work out an immigration deal once they can figure out what trump wants lol

    You are hoping the dreamers are as stupid as the President. They will have no problem figuring out who manufactured the crisis for his oen political purposes.

    Everybody know that Trump has never taken the responsibility for anything that went wrong or ever admitted he was wrong about anything. What do his mental problems have to do with anything.

    Trump in 2011: “if there is a shutdown I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together.” [4/7/11]

    And now he is worried it will fall in his lap but he is so afraid of his birther base that he continues to show weak leadership of the nation.
