I also believe if he doesn't take action on trade with China, Mexico and Canada, the Democrats will raise this issue and any other he renegs on. I've been following the pulse of his supporters and I can tell you, even the discussion of DACA really upsets some At the very least, he needs funding in place before any movement on DACA, if he just does it "on faith" that the Democrats will help him afterwards for the border, there's no way it will happen.
This should be an interesting year if the narrative is that Trump won't keep his promises. The Democrats have always relied on this being the case, which is why the actions of McCain with the thumbs down excited them so much. If the wall and trade promises aren't kept, he has a major problem on his hands with his core supporters, of this I am certain.
John Kelly suggests Trump wasn't 'fully informed' when he promised wall across entire border
White House chief of staff John Kelly suggested during an interview Wednesday with Fox News that then-candidate Donald Trump was not “fully informed” when he promised to build a wall along the entire border with Mexico.
Still, Kelly insisted that the president has been committed to building hundreds of miles of new wall on the border as part of a deal with Democrats on immigration.
“This president, if you've seen what he's done, he has changed the way he's looked at a number of things,” Kelly told Bret Baier on “Special Report.”
Kelly didn’t deny a report in the Washington Post on Wednesday that he told Democratic lawmakers Trump was uninformed on the wall during the campaign.
“There's been an evolutionary process that this president has gone through... and I pointed out to all the members that were in the room that they all say things during the course of campaigns that may or may not be fully informed,” Kelly said.
Kelly said Trump has “adjusted the way he's looked at” a number of issues, including his strategy in Afghanistan and toward DACA, the Obama-era program that shields illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children from deportation.
