Trump told Telemundo the following about how he is going to protect DACA recipients: "I'm going to be signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order, which the Supreme Court now, because of the DACA decision, has given me the power to do that."
This makes no sense.

I have lived through countless cycles in which Donald Trump says something mildly sympathetic about DACA recipients and it gets taken as evidence that he's working on some kind of deal/solution for them. Preemptively, let's not do it this time. https://t.co/tuTGi8LVeS

When Chief Justice John Roberts ruled against Trump's move to end DACA, his decision left room for an administration do-over.
His opinion spelled out every administrative hoop that the administration would have to jump through to get rid of the program.https://t.co/pwZPqn2SKm

The buzz around the White House is that, at some point over the next week or so, there is a plan in place to resubmit paperwork to do away with DACA, according to our @playbookplus authors https://t.co/maZGqe4Zlv

Cognitive tests require you to remember and repeat a few words, know what day it is, and draw all 12 numbers on a blank clock face. Like Trump’s doctors, I’m amazed that he could do it.
