To make matters worse for immigration hawks, Trump is also not requiring funding to build a wall along the Mexican border as a condition of the possible deal.

If the reaction of those at a gathering of social conservatives in Iowa over the weekend is any guide, Trump's voters are sticking with him and not immigration opponents such as U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, who tweeted last week that if a deal is struck, "Trump's base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable and disillusioned beyond repair."


Over a meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and cookies, the attendees heard from Iowa's top elected Republicans, including King, who didn't directly criticize Trump but alluded to the DACA issue.

None of the Republicans who spoke on-stage, which included both U.S. Senators and the governor, addressed DACA.

To the extent banquet-goers praised Trump for talking to Democrats and said they were frustrated with congressional Republicans.

Trump's decision to not insist on funding for the wall as a condition of any deal wasn't seen as a betrayal to Kelsey Bayliss, a pharmacist from Wellman, Iowa.

"I think the wall itself will be built. I think it is good to work with Democrats with regards to DACA, I think there's a mutual agreement on everything. And we need to forget who's Republican and we need to forget who's Democrat and work for the better of the country.

"We will absolutely stand behind President Donald Trump," said Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann from the podium. "He is our president and we are proud of him as the Republican Party of Iowa. Period!"

The crowd applauded and some even gave Kaufmann's pledge a standing ovation.

I watch Alex Jones for entertainment purposes, but even he is not giving up on Trump, and he is encouraging others to not turn their back on him, saying a DACA deal is not really a deal breaker, but it's a strategy for Trump to get the wall founded in favor of helping DACA recipients, even Jones has changed his tone on us(kind of).
Yes I know he's a maniac, but alot of people that follow Trump follows him too
