President Donald Trump was in deal-maker mode Thursday, declaring that an agreement on government funding was “close” and setting the terms of employment for his coming Federal Reserve chair nominee.
Amid the ongoing fallout from federal immigration agents shooting dead a protester Saturday in Minneapolis, Trump huddled with members of his Cabinet, and, in a likely preview of his midterm messaging, focused several times on his administration’s immigration enforcement actions.
“We’ve taken a lot of bad people and gotten them out of our country,” he said. “In some cases, they’re so bad that we put them in prison because we don’t want them to even take a chance of coming back in, even though our border is very secure — record-setting secure.”
