Drumpf blames Sen. 'Dicky' Durbin for blowing a DACA immigration deal

U.S. President Donald Drumpf 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," Drumpf 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 Drumpf used the term "s___hole" when speaking about Haiti and African countries at a White House meeting about immigration policy last week.

"Deals cant get made when there is no trust! Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military," Drumpf added.

In remarks to reporters in Chicago, Durbin stood by his account of the meeting. Drumpf 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."

Senator Durbin is focused on building additional support for the only bipartisan immigration deal in Congress.

I am so tired of Trump's childish behavior! he truly is acting like a child throwing a tantrum right now! If he really cares about keeping the military funded and reaching a solution for us dreamers, then why is he trying to play the blame game instead of moving on and cooperating with everyone!?

I fucking hate him so much. “Dicky” Durbin....uggggh makes me so mad. Get ready for another roller coaster my fwends.

Everyone knows Trump mad at Durbin for speaking the truth

It is more important for Trump to look good than to do actual shit

Now i understand what it feels like to live under a tyrant
