Frustrated Trump reverses himself in 38 minutes during unhinged Saturday evening on Twitter
President Donald Trump reversed his position on sending asylum seekers to sanctuary cities on Saturday.
At 7:30 p.m. in Washington, DC, Trump
argued that
The New York Times story reporting he was considering sending asylum seekers to sanctuary cities was “knowingly wrong on almost every fact.”
At 8:08 p.m. — thirty-eight minutes later —
Trump threatened to do exactly what he’d just denied considering.
At 9:47 p.m. Trump again tweeted his threat.

The New York Times Sanctuary Cities/Immigration story today was knowingly wrong on almost every fact. They never call to check for truth. Their sources often don’t even exist, a fraud. They will lie & cheat anyway possible to make me look bad. In 6 years they will be gone........

Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!
