Trump Says He Won't Sign House Immigration Compromise Measure - Page 3

@ChadPergram
Chief Deputy Whip GOP Rep McHenry says after Trump’s comments on immigration, they are not whipping the new immigration bill this am. “We’re getting clarity (from the President).” Says the whip will now be next wk. Says they won’t move ahead on this issue w/o support of Trump

Keep in mind that the President and his aides were dialed in on what Hse GOPers were prepping legislatively on immigration & released last night. GOPers say Trump’s apparent position shift reminds them of him threatening to veto omnibus right after it was passed in March

Trump is mad they didn’t pick up the phone when he called during their meeting hahaha

Definitely a pony show. Hopefully the blue wave hits hard..

Mass confusion in the House over Trump’s comments putting down the GOP’s compromise immigration bill. Several Republican members think he was talking about the wrong bill and are asking for a clarification from WH. “I don’t know what bill he was talking about,” one R said.

The more resentment towards him, the better. He'll soon be a one man show, if he already isn't.

And @RepGoodlatte suggests walk back is coming... "I think you're going to hear more from the president soon."

- @Mike Debonis

They think he is going to walk it back. I can imagine Paul Ryan and Co. rushing to the White House to explain to his sundowning ass what is going on.

I don’t know what else the fck he wants. This bill literally has everything he asked for unless he wants a deportation bill for us.

They sound desperate AF.

There's one thing missing:

* Conscripting applicants to spend a minimum of 12 months to build the wall.

Which is exactly why this bill will pass. Once they clear the cobwebs and explain to Trump what is in this bill (i.e. his wall money, reduced family immigration), he is going to walk back his comments and say he meant that he won't sign any bills from the discharge petition effort; effectively killing our chances of a more reasonable/lenient proposal passing.

The problem is the GOP sticks together. So, everyone voicing their concerns now will still vote yes on this bill when the votes are held next week.
