Twitter Blows Up After Chuck and Nancy Announce DACA Deal That Won’t Include Border Wall
This evening, following a dinner at the White House that reportedly included Chinese food and chocolate creme pie, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a statement which contained a pretty big announcement.
Basically, the two leading Democrats came to an agreement with Trump which would provide protections for DACA recipients while agreeing to border security measures that won’t include a wall:
And, considering the implications of this deal — NO WALL and DREAMers getting a pathway to citizenship — you just knew that the internet would blow up.
First off, knowing how the president would look like he caved to Chuck and Nancy again, the White House released a statement denying that the wall was taken off the table:
While DACA and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to.

Schumer’s communications director answered back:
The President made clear he would continue pushing the wall, just not as part of this agreement. https://t.co/KD1SdLAnIF

Any chance McConnell or Ryan knew about this is advance? No way, right? https://t.co/OayIvICtzD

And then, of course, there was the MAGA crowd — and you can guess how they felt:
@RealDonaldTrump If AP is correct, Trump base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable, and disillusioned beyond repair. No promise is credible. https://t.co/uJjxk6uX5g

Trump tells his audience what they want to hear. He told 63 million who voted for him he'd build a wall. Get used to it, Chuck & Nancy. https://t.co/UuxYFLLpok

"BUILD THE WALL! BUILD THE WALL!"…or…maybe…not really.

Weak R's have betrayed voters. @POTUS needs to stay the course and keep his promises or it's over! Pelosi and Schumer can never be trusted. https://t.co/ky0NWvZoBv

As Chuck Schumer did with Bubbles Rubio, he is trying to make @realDonaldTrump his bitch.
Mr. President, are you Chuck Schumer's bitch??— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) September 14, 2017
.@realDonaldTrump will lose his base if he goes down this road. And I don't want to hear "4D chess" nonsense. This is bad. #BuildTheWall https://t.co/qzsrFOGgms
