White House Watch: Rise of the 'Chuckservatives'

It has taken just under eight months for the signature issue of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign—the construction of a border wall along our southern border with Mexico—to become negotiable. You could almost hear Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer grinning as they typed their statement out following their Wednesday night dinner with Trump at the White House. “We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides,” they said.

“The wall will come later,” the president claimed Thursday morning. That’s a stunning admission from Trump.
