As Trump lounges at his golf resort in West Palm Beach, Florida this weekend, he appears to have many things on his mind. None of those things, unfortunately, are the teenagers who have organized to save their own lives and demand change around gun violence. Instead, Trump’s greatest concerns are defending himself against his critics on television and convincing the American public that they should believe no fake news unless it is the preferred fake news of the president.

Exactly one tweet after insisting that it is Trump who is concerned about DACA recipients, whose lives have been used as bargaining chips in a bidding war in budget negotiations, Trump also referred to the adults who brought these young people to thrive in America “enemy combatants” and drug dealers.

It is a common and familiar narrative lately, this idea that Trump cares about the young people brought to this country as children while Democrats have abandoned them, yet he always fails to mention that it was Trump himself who rescinded DACA, saying that the way President Obama protected them was unconstitutional because he did not allow a divided Congress to hash it out while those young lives hung in the balance. When Congress did finally come to an agreement on a budget that included a path to citizenship for DACA recipients, it was Trump who nixed it.

If Trump wanted a fix for DACA that protected these young lives, there would already have been one signed.

As for his patronizing explanation of why he has not chosen a lawyer to replace the departed John Dowd, who reportedly left the legal team because Trump was refusing to take his advice, it’s unlikely to be the result of the reasoning Trump’s concerns about taxpayer dollars. A man who has no problem wasting nearly $60 million in a year of his presidency on weekend golf trips isn’t all that concerned by the spending of taxpayer money on a legal defense. However, he’s welcome to try his “I know you are, but what am I?” defense with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

That should go over well.
