UC’s Best Advice to ‘Dreamers’: Ignore Trump Show, File for DACA

Government shutdown? Forget the blame game. We saw the process unfold before our eyes. It was one built on the word of Donald Trump, but then dashed. Maybe because as a real builder might say, there was no foundation in truth to provide structural integrity – for anything.

And that’s why things collapsed and turned the young student dreamers and other recipients of DACA into Trump’s latest political football.

You’ll recall the recent meeting when Trump brought a bipartisan group of Congressional lawmakers into the Oval Office.

“You folks are going to have to come up with a solution. And if you do, I’m going to sign that solution,” Trump said.

Trump was practically gushing while the media cameras were allowed to roll overtime. Why not? To counteract that tell-all book by Michael Wolff, “Fire and Fury,” Trump seemed to decide it was time to make us all veritable flies on the wall so we can see for ourselves.

“I feel having the Democrats in with us is absolutely vital, as it should be a bipartisan bill, it should be a bill of love, truly it has to be a bill of love,” Trump said.

Yes, this is the same Mr. Travel Ban, Mr. No Kneeling During the National Anthem, uttering the word “love” twice in the same sentence.
