That didn't take long. We now know who was telling the truth about last night's meeting between President Trump and Democrat leaders Schumer and Pelosi. I'll give you a hint: it wasn't Schumer and Pelosi.
This morning, the White House made clear that there had been no deal with the Democrats. President Trump tweeted about there being no deal. He also said the wall construction would continue. About 11:00, Pelosi and Schumer issued a statement to the media saying that the White House description of the meeting was correct. Then they said that "as we said last night" there was no final deal made with the President. The problem, of course, is that is not what they said last night.
Now we know that at last night's meeting, there was general agreement that legislation would be pushed to legalize the people covered by DACA. (We knew that before the meeting.) There was also agreement that there would be border security measures included in the legislation covering the DACA people. There may also have been agreement by the Democrats that they would not ultimately block construction of the funding for the border wall (that's what Trump says.)
That's a very different set of facts from what the media reported and what Schumer and Pelosi first said. Oh well, another day, another lie from the Democrats. Can't they ever stop?
