Trump's first response post-Midterms on immigration is problematic, to say the very least

No one on the right is happy, and we're all pointing fingers at which one of the sects is to blame. Personally, I'm in the "everything sucked, and everything was terrible" wing. Other people say that if you blame anything other than Iran, you are a psyop. However, if there's one thing we all still agree on - or agreed - it's that Trump was really good on immigration. So why the deuce does he sound like he has a newfound respect for amnesty in this 60 Minutes interview?
To be fair, Trump was all over the place in the interview. There is a chance that by the time you read this, he already hopped on TruthSocial to call interviewer Ross Douhat a fake news bald-headed loser. And reposted a bunch of memes about illegals being deported. He hasn't as of 6:34 this morning, so here he is talking about cutting a deal with Democrats.
I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs that created one violation or breaking of the law ... there’s a large part of the country that think that they should be allowed to stay if they’re good people working in a landscaping company or working in a hotel or doing something, right? And in some cases paying taxes. And there’s a large group of people think that they should be allowed to stay. ... the deal would be we would work something out and I think it’s something… I think that’s something that’s actually doable. Doable to create some kind of… some kind of legal status for the landscapers and the— Yeah. When you go into a hotel and you have a woman that’s worked there as a, you know, as a maid, as a cleaner, as a this, as a that, as a waitress, a lot of good things, great jobs.
Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/HSbH4RluaK

M'kay. How is that any different than something John McCain said? Or Jeb Bush? Or Marco Rubio? Because methinks THAT'S gonna be coming up over the next two years.
How is that any different than liberals saying if we deport people, there will be no one to pick our vegetables or clean our toilets?
If you want to argue that the MESSAGING about his immigration enforcement could have been better, then yeah.
It's a seeing-the-sausage-made thing. Mass deportations were always going to be more popular in concept than they were in practice. Instead of taking that into account, the adminstration thought performative cruelty and creating content for MAGAsexual fanbois to share on Twitter, saying BASED and THERE'S NO ONE LIKE HIM, was the best way to go about it.
I know last season of South Park was controversial, and the creators definitely tried too hard. But the Kristi Noem stuff was spot on.
There was always going to be a disruption. And the way they went about carrying out Trump's immigration agenda caused problems. But that's something that could be fixed with better AND DISCIPLINED messaging.
Instead, because Trump is so desperate to say he cut a deal with *waves hands* anyone, regardless of whether it's a good deal or not, he sounds like he's ready to cave.
At least, he does on Monday morning. Stephen Miller has only been chief of staff since Friday evening, and the interview was recorded before that.
