Donald Trump started the morning by telling everyone that the problem wasn’t that he was a racist. The problem is that the bipartisan group of senators who presented him with a DACA compromise were not racist enough.

The so-called bipartisan DACA deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step backwards. Wall was not properly funded, Chain & Lottery were made worse and USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime.....

They clearly failed to understand Trump’s desire to bring in only wealthy white people. This will work with Trump’s new program of handing each new immigrant a Mar-a-Lago membership application.

....countries which are doing badly. I want a merit based system of immigration and people who will help take our country to the next level. I want safety and security for our people. I want to stop the massive inflow of drugs. I want to fund our military, not do a Dem defund....

And as for that comment Trump made in front of a dozen senators and an equal number of staffers ...

The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!

The language … was not the language. The problem was a bipartisan proposal that forced Trump to clarify that what he meant was No More Black People. Seriously. Sometimes senators are so dense.

Help protect immigrants from Trump’s racism.

In between those last two tweets was another focused on diverting the blame.

....Because of the Democrats not being interested in life and safety, DACA has now taken a big step backwards. The Dems will threaten Ã¢ÂÂshutdown,Ã¢ÂÂ but what they are really doing is shutting down our military, at a time we need it most. Get smart, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

That’s the theme Trump returned to after he finished clearing up that the language was not the language.

Sadly, Democrats want to stop paying our troops and government workers in order to give a sweetheart deal, not a fair deal, for DACA. Take care of our Military, and our Country, FIRST!

So, to sum up Trump’s morning statements:

The bipartisan deal still allowed in brown people from shithole countries.
The whole point of everything Trump has been saying was that he didn’t want brown people from shithole countries.
Except Trump says he never said shithole, you dickwad.
Democrats don’t control a single branch of government, but are completely responsible for the shutdown Trump is threatening.
Because Democrats are still interested in “sweetheart” deals like letting people have some rights before they die.

So no matter what you heard, you didn’t hear it. Now, let’s stop talking about racism, and get on with practicing more racism.
