Trump isn't happy with DACA decision

President outsourced announcement to Jeff Sessions after administration 'tug of war,' sources tell CNN.

The immigration discussion inside the White House has been like a "tug-of-war" among advisers to President Trump. Trump is so unenthused about the decision that he's outsourcing the announcement to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who remains out of favor with the President.

Two officials familiar with the intense West Wing deliberations say the president asked Chief of Staff John Kelly to find some kind of middle ground, hoping to put the decision as far away from the Oval Office as possible, and "share the burden" with Congress.

"No one is happy with this outcome, including the President," one official said, explaining that is the chief reason Sessions was selected to make the announcement.

The decision escalates the internal battle over immigration in the Republican party. The President has little interest of taking a lead and guiding the party through this debate, but even that decision is a significant about-face from his hardline position during the campaign.
