Original Story: Trump says he’s talking to Democrats about DHS: ‘We’ll see what happens’ – The Hill

Trump’s Playing Nice? Border Deal Talks with Democrats? Please.

Oh goodie, another day, another headline that makes me question if I accidentally stumbled into a parallel universe. Apparently, the former guy is “talking” to the Democrats about… *checks notes*… the Department of Homeland Security and the border. *Insert eye roll so hard I can see my brain.*

According to The Hill, which, let’s be honest, is probably as reliable as my ability to remember where I parked my car, Trump is “talking” to the very people he spent the last decade demonizing. Because, you know, suddenly bipartisan collaboration is the new black. I bet that conversation is going *great*. I’m picturing a lot of shouting, a few thrown water bottles, and maybe a dramatic exit or two. Possibly by both sides.

The article mentions some vague “negotiations.” Negotiations! With Trump! I bet it’s all about how many “beautiful walls” he can build and how many people he can blame for the state of the border (which, by the way, is a multifaceted issue that’s been around longer than avocado toast). I’m also betting the Democrats are trying to get some kind of actual immigration reform, which, knowing Trump, is probably code for “more chaos.”

And let’s not forget the “extreme vetting.” Oh, yes, because that worked so well the first time, didn’t it? Let’s just spend more money and time on a process that likely won’t solve anything, and will probably alienate even more people. Brilliant.

Look, I’m all for finding solutions. I mean, I *have* to be. I live in this country. But the thought of Trump and the Democrats actually agreeing on anything about the border is frankly exhausting. It’s like watching two toddlers try to share a toy – messy, unpredictable, and ultimately probably ending in tears. I’ll just be here, polishing my resume, and waiting for the sweet, sweet release of retirement.

In the meantime, I’ll be over here, refreshing my browser every five seconds, waiting for the inevitable tweet storm, and wondering if I should start hoarding canned goods. Just in case.
