Coulter: "It Turns Out Bannon Was Trump's Brain"

Ms. Coulter is not a happy camper over that Trump televised meeting.

Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell

Ann Coulter  "In order to prove he doesn't have dementia, as alleged in a recent book, President Trump called a meeting with congressional leaders on Tuesday -- and requested that it be televised. 

"Ivanka: Show them at your best, Daddy! 

"He then proceeded to completely sell out the base and actually added to his problems by appearing senile. 

"In a half-dozen exchanges -- which, again, he wanted televised -- Trump responded to remarks as if he had no clue what the person was saying. One senator would talk -- he'd agree. Someone else would say the exact opposite -- he'd agree with that, too. 

"Actual exchange: 

SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN: "What about a clean DACA bill now, with a commitment that we go into a comprehensive immigration reform procedure? ..." 
TRUMP: "... I have no problem. ... We're going to come up with DACA. We're going to do DACA, and then we can start immediately on the phase two, which would be comprehensive." 
SEN. FEINSTEIN: "Would you be agreeable to that?" 
TRUMP: "I think a lot of people would like to see that, but I think we have to do DACA first." 
REP. KEVIN MCCARTHY: "Mr. President, you need to be clear though. I think what Sen. Feinstein is asking here: When we talk about just DACA, we don't want to be back here two years later. You have to have security, as the secretary would tell you." 
TRUMP: "But I think that's what she's saying." 
REP. MCCARTHY: "No, no, I think she's saying something different. ..." 
TRUMP: "I do believe that. Because once we get DACA done -- if it's done properly -- with, you know, security and everything else ..." 
"Trump was more than willing to sell out the base to solve a personal problem of his -- the Michael Wolff book -- but managed to not convince a single American that he's articulate, bright or a good leader." . . .
On MSNBC, the hosts didn't say, "You know, we saw a new side of Trump today ..." Instead, they could barely suppress their giggles over the great negotiator being rolled.
The Democrats' opening bid is: Not only does every poor person in the world get to come live here, but all their relatives get to come, too!
They don't control any branch of government, and they're not budging from that.
Trump's counter-offer is: OK! My immigration policy is whatever you send me! 
Let's just hope this is Coulter's point of view and not reality. TD
