Washington – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday blamed Senator Dick Durbin for blowing up talks over a deal to help immigrants brought to the country illegally as children and said the Democratic lawmaker misrepresented his comments about Haiti and African countries.

“Senator Dicky Durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the DACA meeting,” Trump said in a post on Twitter, referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that gave legal protection to young immigrants known as “Dreamers.”
Durbin has said Trump used the term “shithole” when speaking about Haiti and African countries at a White House meeting about immigration policy last week.
“Deals can’t get made when there is no trust! Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military,” Trump added.
In remarks to reporters in Chicago, Durbin stood by his account of the meeting. Trump has drawn criticism at home, from Republicans and Democrats, and abroad for the comments attributed to him.
“I know what happened. I stand behind every word that I said,” Durbin said on Monday.
“In terms of that meeting, I’m focused on one thing – not that meeting – but on making sure that those who are being protected by DACA … have a future in America. I’m focused on that full-time.”
Sorry, Mr. Durbin. But the Democrats have lost whatever shred of credibility they might have once had. You guys put Obama into office, and honesty was never one of his virtues. You allowed Hillary to be a senator, SOS, then the party candidate for president. She is also a pathological liar. No, I am not concocting this accusation. There is a wealth of documentation to support this. She belonged in prison years ago. Maybe Trump has been denying a lot, but I would never believe a Democrat against Trump, just with the history of the past decade.
The immigration problem is one that the Democrats created, and are now pressing to protect. No, the DACA issue is not sustainable. Neither is the Border Patrol being under orders to not arrest or detain the invaders. Nor is the protection of the criminal element of these illegals. You and your ilk cannot justify the billions spent on providing these illegals with health care, and the gamut of entitlements, when our own citizens wait in line for eons.
No, I do not trust you liars, and those who prioritize illegal aliens over Americans are no friends of mine.
Toxic Trumpf’s real estate act won’t fly in DC. Dems won’t deal w a BIGOT on DACA. 800,000 young people to be deported by the New Fuhrer. So he blames Sen Durban.
Cohanim Alert!
This is not a drill.
TRump looks like Rigor mortis has taken over.
