Trump with "DREAMers" in 2013.
"You've convinced me"
I've been heavily criticized for daring to state that Trump is 1) not who he claims he is (conservative, Republican), and 2) will not do what he claims he will do.
I've noted that on Trump's signature campaign issue: immigration, he has gone off the record with the NY Times to state he would negotiate and not be as tough as his campaign rhetoric would indicate.
I've also posted a linked in which Trump states his threat of a 45% tariff of China is nothing more than a bluff. "That will never happen," were his words to Charlie Sykes.
Here's more proof Trump won't do what he claims with regards to immigration:
"""On an August day two years ago, Donald Trump was in a much different place: He was just a billionaire with the simple goal of connecting his beauty pageant business with the upcoming Hispanic Heritage Awards.
So at his New York penthouse office atop Trump Tower, he convened a meeting.
Trump ushered in a pair of men -- one to talk about the awards and a Democratic strategist who works with nonprofits -- and three young DREAMer activists. The DREAMers were on a tour sharing their stories with those less likely to support them, like tea party supporters."""
"""You know, the truth is I have a lot of illegals working for me in Miami," he told them, using the term for undocumented immigrants those in the meeting found offensive. "You know in Miami, my golf course is tended by all these Hispanics -- if it wasn't for them my lawn wouldn't be the lawn it is; it's the best lawn," Pacheco recalled Trump saying.
Trump said he knew the work of undocumented people is what makes his golf courses and hotels great.
"At the end of the day, what we're looking at is a value proposition for America," Tijerino said to Trump at the end of the meeting, referring to immigration legislation.
"You've convinced me," Trump said to the delight of the activists in the room."""
And this is what Trumpsters need to understand: Trump is a businessman. His wealth and riches are a source of great pride. He will do whatever it takes, whether employing illegals for less wages or manufacturing his line of ties in Mexico and having his other products made in China.
Trump will not do anything which may negatively affect his wealth. And his campaign rhetoric of a tough immigration policy does not align with his bottom line.
Something has to give, and you can be sure it won't be Trump's bottom line.
