The president's fundraising website has launched a brand new item: a blue "American Dreamer" Trump hat that references his comments about DACA (the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy), from his State of the Union address last month. DACA beneficiaries are known as Dreamers; Trump's site calls the cap a reminder that "we all want to live the American dream."

It's a reference to what was perhaps Trump's most infamous line during his State of the Union speech: "Americans are dreamers, too." Implying that the priorities of an immigration program like DACA are opposed to his "America First" agenda, Trump said:

The United States is a compassionate nation. ... But as president of the United States, my highest loyalty, my greatest compassion, and my constant concern is for America’s children, America’s struggling workers, and America’s forgotten communities.


The "Americans are dreamers, too" line received massive backlash from the left and then praise from the right, including from notorious white supremacist figures. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke thanked Trump for the remark on Twitter.

Meanwhile, liberals described the comment as "intentionally divisive" for insinuating that helping Dreamers will take resources away from citizens. Comparing it to "All Lives Matter," they suggested that it falsely equated the problems faced by immigrants with the problems faced by legal Americans.

Instead of this ridiculous stunt, how about you help Americans w student debt, support public education, and health care for all, huh?? How about vets in need of housing and mental health??

We immigrants did not cause these hardships. Politicians and Americans like you abandoned them after they sacrificed themselves for their country. I see this with my veteran patients and I, an undocumented immigrant w/o Daca support and help them in their struggle. I am not taking anyone's place away.

A**hole.
