It occurred to me why negotiating with
President Trump is driving the Democrats crazy. Donald Trump is not
Barack Obama or John Kerry.
Remember the Iran nuclear deal?
Kerry (for Obama): We want you to get
rid of your nuclear materials.
Iran: No.
Kerry: OK. We want the right to inspect your facilities at any time.
Iran: No.
Kerry: OK. We want to you cut the number of centrifuges that you have.
Iran: No.
Kerry: We want you to slow down on your enrichment program.
Iran: No.
Kerry: OK. That went well. Now what do you want from us?
Iran: $150 billion in assets that you froze years ago because of our terrorism.
Kerry (for Obama): OK. Deal.
Kerry and Obama were so weak on that deal that they agreed to give Iran everything it wanted and get nothing in return except a signed document. And Trump is ready to pull the plug on it, if he hasn't already.
It's a bit different trying to negotiate with a leader who tells you up front what he wants or else there is no deal.
Trump: I want a wall, an end to chain migration and an end to the diversity lotto. Give me those and I will sign the DACA bill and allow Dreamers to become citizens.
Iran: No.
Kerry: OK. We want the right to inspect your facilities at any time.
Iran: No.
Kerry: OK. We want to you cut the number of centrifuges that you have.
Iran: No.
Kerry: We want you to slow down on your enrichment program.
Iran: No.

Durbin: Mr. President, put through a
clean DACA bill and then we'll work with you on the things you
want.
Trump: No.
Shumer: Mr. President – sign the bill and then we'll work on the things you want. We promise.
Trump: No.
Nancy Pelosi: Mr. President – you're holding a box of Twinkies and that's like Armageddon.
Trump: Nancy – go home and take your meds.
The President stated up front what he wants in return for what the Democrats want. He wants border security, better vetting of legal immigrants and an end to family members automatically being allowed in. Remember, the last two terror attacks here at home were committed by people (one each) who came here through the lotto and through chain migration. Vetting was minimal.
The Democrats refuse to give the President (and the American people) border security and integrity of our immigration policies. They want the votes of any and all illegals they can get, which is why they're pushing so hard for DACA but not for border security. They want new Democrat voters to still be able to cross the borders unimpeded.
The Democrats don't care about you or me. They care about votes. And Trump's refusal to give in to their wishes is infuriating them to no end. And I think it's hysterical.
