President Donald Trump's three-day Twitter blitz against meandering migrants and DACA could signal that he's trying to assuage conservative supporters who are growing impatient with his immigration policies, The Washington Post reports.
The president campaigned on a hard line on immigration, and to that hard line he has returned this week. Trump took Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) deal off the table while fixating on the caravan of central American migrants on their annual trek through Mexico aiming for the U.S. border.
Trump on Tuesday issued a warning that they had better be stopped before making it to the border.
Regardless, Trump's single-issue immigration hardliners like Ann Coulter are still waiting for the wall and strict immigration policies he campaigned on and were central to his platform.
"I don't know what more horrible thing you could come up with than violating your central campaign promise that became the chant and the theme of the campaign that he promised at every single rally," Coulter told The New York Times over the weekend.
It's not the first time Coulter has been on the president's case about immigration. Coulter crushed Trump in January when he proposed the "bill of love" for DACA recipients, and he quickly retreated back to a hard-line stance.
Trump failed to secure necessary funding for the border wall in the omnibus spending bill two weeks ago, outraging conservative radio hosts Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage.
The deadline he imparted to Congress on fixing DACA fell by the wayside by two federal court injunctions, effectively weak-legging his ability to leverage the wall for protections for Dreamers with Democrats.
So instead, Trump rails against Congress, Mexico, the border wall and the caravan on Twitter.
"His waffling back and forth on DACA — you never know, day-to-day, what he stands for. He's trying to juxtapose the movement of Central Americans against that to build up his street cred again with his base," Wendy Young, president of Kids in Need of Defense, told the Post.
