I'm just going to leave this progression of Trump's relationship with DACA and the Dreamers here:
throughout 2016 Campaign [1]: DACA was an illegal overreach by President Obama
5-Sep-2017 [2]: I like Dreamers so I'm going to try to get Congress to pass something that I consider legal and give them until March, 5 2018 to do it... once we hit March 5, I'm going to undue DACA because it is illegal (and therefore, even if it hurts those I really like, trust me, believe me, I like them, a lot, I'll get rid of it).
09-Jan-2018: I like Dreamers so much that I'll sign any bill that deals with them that Congress passes
21-Jan-2018 [3]: Democrats are wrong to shut down the government over Dreamers
14-Feb-2018 [4]: Nope, I don't like the bill that the Senate has come up with so I'm threatening a veto
16-Feb-2018 [5]: Democrats are to blame if DACA goes away without something in place to replace it.
