Campaigning on ending DACA is foolish though. It has 60% support with republicans and even higher among democrats.

At this point it's very hard to see the African American community favoring Trump. On top of that, young voters and new voters seem energized. These things are what brought Obama to office. Old school republicans are not supporting him.

My weird take is that these riots are getting this bad mainly because of high unemployment due to the Coronavirus. People are out of work and angry, it's the same reason why people protested for the states to re-open.

His re-election highly depends on the economy and it's not looking very good. Even after the Coronavirus passes (which won't happen for a long time, longer now because protests spread the virus), there will be huge debt bubbles and people won't be able to pay. I read somewhere that the majority of American doesn't even have $400 in emergency funds. A $1200 check one time isn't going to do much.

He's attacked hispanics ("bad hombres", called them rapists), then asians (coronavirus, and I realize it's China specifically but people can't tell the difference between someone from China vs korea / japan / eastern Asian countries and on top of that the contention is with the Chinese government, not Chinese people in America so all asians are discriminated against), now he's dealing with issues with the African American community.

So the easiest pill to swallow for Trump's base right now would be appealing to the hispanic community, mainly because it's the most distant memory out of the 3. He needs hispanic voters and in order to appeal to the hispanic voters, DACA is really the best way to do it when he can't do much else. The most important thing is, he needs to actually offer a good and honest deal or the democrats will shit on him. He can say he's not a racist and point to this exact policy to back up his claim which will win back minority votes, not just hispanic ones. Honestly dream act + 5 billion for boarder security is even a good deal if he wants to get re-elected.

If you recall, right before the 2018 election he sent the national guard / military to the boarder to stop the "caravans". They lost the House by a lot. Being against immigrants in this ruthless way is not the play. If Trump goes hard on immigration again this election year by holding DACA hostage with what's going on this past week, it will not be good.

Before the Coronavirus I thought Biden would lose. But Trump... 2 days for executive order when twitter fact checked him, a few days to use DPA to produce meat, but then weeks? I'm not even sure he used DPA to make much needed PPE... and the lack of action until April....it's difficult to justify. If "it's just the flu" but if it's "just the flu" why blame China? No country reports the "flu" to other countries because the "flu" is not a big deal. Arguably it's good China downplayed their numbers if it's just the "flu" so people don't panic. Why shut down the Country if it's just the "flu". If it's more serious than just the "flu" why not take action earlier than April.... he took action so much faster when Twitter fact checked him. Either way you cut it, it doesn't look good.

Trump's advisors and Miller are being foolish or they're auditioning for their next job. Whatever they're doing they're not giving their best advice for him to be re-elected.
