Donald Trump admitted that his immigration policy has been “too tough,” and he’s willing to work with Democrats on it going forward.

I bet his McDonald’s order was late that day and he asked why and someone was like the immigrants are afraid to show up for to work or something. Like just before he went on camera. Something like that.
My read is that he’s desperate. He’s aware of how badly the GOP lost and why, and is worried enough senators will flip that they can convict on impeachment. He’s trying to show he’s willing to cooperate with dems as long as they don’t make him, you know, die in prison in shame. He’s had all the power for two years and he’s used it like a toddler uses a bowl of crackers, slaming it around and making a mess until he gets what he wants - but now mom’s mad and he’s realizing that the US isn’t nearly as much of a fascist state as he lead his followers to think.
From what I’m seeinv, his behavior for the past week has been erratic above all else. He’s trying to find a position he can hold that’s both tolerable to him and produces the results he wants (to feel popular and respected and face no consequences). We’re seeing doubling down in some ways and offering concessions in other ways.
Him backing down like this is not at all surprising from what I’ve seen with narcissistic abusers. He’s trying to find a safe position or lie that will let him get back to doing whatever he wants and have his adoring fans cheer him on for it. I strongly suspect if consequences don’t actually come he’ll quit every concession he made, and if they do he’ll fully commit to doubling down.
Didn’t Melania complain because her friends were getting deported? They never care until it affects them personally.
