    It was because Biden and the Democrats were against it. Trump literally looks at when the Dems are doing and says they are the exact opposite of it.

    Same happened with the US border. The Reps kept demanding money for border security for months, including Trump. In the end, Biden agreed they could have it. The moment the Dems were ok with this, Trump demanded that the Reps be against it, and the Reps voted against the money. It didn’t happen in the end.

      You’re wrong about the border. One of his main shticks is immigrates invading the country over the southern border. If they passed the border bill, and Biden shut down the border, he loses a huge talking point with his base and a huge fear of theirs that he can prey on.

      He didn’t block it because Democrats were for it, he blocked it because he doesn’t actually care about protecting his base from any invasion, he cares only about himself.

      You’ll see that he’ll keep talking about the border.

        That’s a lot of words to say that trump tanked the border deal because the Democrats were ok with it.

          No, it’s saying he tanked it because he wants to border to be open because he believe it helps him win.

          Hell, the Democrats aren’t even “for it” it was just compromise…or really I think it was a political move to take that away from trump and get what they think is important (support for Ukraine).

          Again, just watch, he’ll hammer on the border over and over again during the general election. At that point will you admit I’m right?

            Nix this part and you’re good, chief.

              I tend to respond to obnoxiousness in kind. It’s certainly a weakness of mine.
