Trump’s intervention has persuaded congressional Republicans to abandon the border deal that they themselves had demanded. Their abandonment will now be a major political liability in the 2024 election cycle.

“The American people are going to know why it failed,” he declared in a televised speech at the White House. “I’ll be taking this issue to the country, and the voters are going to know that it’s not just a moment — just at the moment we were going to secure the border and fund these other programs, Trump and the MAGA Republicans said no because they’re afraid of Donald Trump.”

“Every day between now and November,” he added, “the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends.”

Yep. President Biden gave republicans the opportunity to secure the border and resolve the backlog of asylum seekers here awaiting judicial review and they walked away in order to make it the campaign arrow Orange Jesus could point at president Biden. But anyone not in the cult will quickly see through the ruse and this will bite Trump on his big fat ass.

It's clear as day that republicans turned down the deal of the century at the guidance of the man who lost them the House, the Senate, and the White House, the biggest loser in modern politics, and soon to be the first convicted felon in U.S. history running for the presidency.

Sweet.
