The only agreement seems the agreement to disagree on who and what is Trump.
The latest controversy after Steve Bannon where those who want to bite the Orange Pill seem to experience immanent death is now daca as part of immigration reform. I watched the bipartisan meeting, that made Ann Coulter go into a fit and Ben Shapiro nod his head in dismay. But I think Trump showed his genius.

What I have not read about yet, maybe somebody somewhere mentioned it, but the genius move here seems to me the fact that he had it recorded on tape and made it available to the public at this moment; two months before daca ends. Why would he want that to happen? He loves transparency? Maybe. But he certainly loves and chooses transparency when it serves him. He collected evidence and have it on tape. He checkmated the whole room with only one possible outcome: a win for Trump if he "wins": the democrats get daca but he gets his (partial) wall and other border security improvements, but also a win if he "loses": he then can blame the democrats and republicans asked to make a deal but failed him and a large majority of the American people who want to save the daca dreamers and also want better border security with more wall.
He creates a contradiction in the end by saying he will just sign anything they come up with, but he also said that no wall is not an option. Which translates to me as informing his republicans that if they negotiate out any wall there will never be a deal. In that sense he was alo clear to the democrats: I will sign for saving the daca dreamers if you give me some wall in return. I am even so blindly confident that you will do that, that I would sign "whatever you come up with" blindly. Because you are all great people.

If that phase 1 compromise is achieved, that itself is another big win for SG Trump. After phase 2, where chain immigration, legal loopholes are negotiated out and immigration goes on merit as in Canada en Australia, he has another huge prize added to his list.
He cornered the democrats here, there is no win in it for them. They can only choose for the least damaging option which seems to be to give Trump some of his wall in exchange for Trump willing to save the daca dreamers. But since the democrats and their corporate media outlets seem at a total loss of how to win, or do effective damage control against SG Trump, I would not be too surprised if they cant help themselves and sabotage this latest bipartisan effort where they loose even more and Trump escapes without pain.
