Donald Trump took a break from cable news watching and golfing to demand congressional Democrats give him his stupid border wall and other fringe items from his white supremacist wish list in exchange for the 800,000 undocumented immigrant youth he’s currently holding hostage.

“The Democrats have been told,” he tweeted, “and fully understand, that there can be no DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc. We must protect our Country at all cost!”

And the tweeter-in-chief and congressional Republicans have been told, and fully understand, that there can be no full spending bill next month without Democratic votes, and Democratic leaders have made clear that deal must include protections for DACA recipients.
