As Senate Republicans on Tuesday scrambled to strike a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid the agency's partial shutdown, President Donald Trump said he would not be happy with any deal they hammered out, remaining noncommittal on if he would sign anything.

Senate Democrats aren't committing to supporting the GOP proposal, either.

"Well, I don't want to comment until I see the deal, but as you know, they're negotiating a deal. I guess they're getting fairly close. But I think any deal they make, I'm -- I'm pretty much not happy with it,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. He was asked if he would support a deal garnering Republican support that would fund everything in DHS except Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

When asked if he would be "comfortable with a deal that involves separating ICE funding from the DHS funding package" to reopen the agency, Trump deflected and said a deal was being worked on.

2. May be better to have no funding anyway

3. Screw him. I want Congress to come up with a bipartisan measure to separate "Homeland Security" from ICE ...

... And I want him to veto it. That'll give us the White House and Congress.

4. At 4:53 pm he was on board with a plan, but less than 3 hours later he's not happy with it . . .

What do they expect from Sundowning Grandpa McFuddlepants?

TS Eliot said it best: "In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute shall reverse."

That's our resolute Chief Executive, incapable of making or retaining an opinion. He's got a Down Pillow Mind -- his thoughts are formed by the last person who influenced him. And if there's no one around to direct his thoughts, he's at the mercy of the raccoons busy gnawing through the wires in his head.

5. Nobody should even be trying to report on what "Trump says"

Look at the previous LBN post... just below this on the homepage.

Insanity.

I am going to quit reading anything else that says, "Trump says" entirely. FDT
