During a White House event commemorating Hispanic Heritage Month on Wednesday, President Trump candidly expressed the challenges he faces regarding immigration policy. The President noted that the issue presents a unique dilemma, as he receives persistent pressure to adjust his stance in opposite directions.
“Frankly, it’s the hardest job that I’ve had,” Trump stated. He explained that critics on both sides are always present: “They’ll say you’re too tough or you’re too soft. Get tougher, get softer. No matter what you do, it’s always…”
Finally, some honesty. Most politicians pretend this stuff is easy. Admitting there is no perfect solution is actually refreshing for once.
Is this a confession or just setting expectations before the midterm backlash hits? Either way, the polling numbers must be keeping him up at night.
He says it is the hardest job. Honestly, managing both sides of the aisle without actually solving anything sounds exhausting.
Tell me about it. No matter which way you pivot, half the country thinks you are weak and the other half thinks you are a monster.
