Maxine Waters: Dems, GOP and Melania ‘can’t trust Trump’

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Friday that the GOP, Democratic Party and the first lady “can’t trust” President Trump, during a month when the president is increasingly crossing party lines to work with Democrats on key legislation. 

“Democrats can’t trust Trump, Republicans can’t trust Trump, and Melania can’t trust Trump,” Waters said in a tweet.

Trump met this week with Democratic congressional leaders Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) for dinner at the White House where they discussed possible protections for participants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and border security actions. 

The president later objected to a joint statement from the Democrats that they had struck a deal involving immigration issues. 

Trump previously surprised Republican lawmakers when he agreed to a plan with Schumer and Pelosi that would temporarily fund the government by raising the federal debt limit and provide emergency aid for hurricane recovery. 

This week, Trump met with moderate House Democrats and Republicans on a potential plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which Democratic lawmakers suggested could have a higher potential to pass in Congress than previous attempts to overhaul the legislation. 

Waters is a frequent critic of Pesident Trump, and has said Trump is the “most deplorable person” she has ever encountered.
