President Trump Insists That He Did Not “Evolve” On His Border Wall Stance

President Donald Trump in a brief tweet-storm Thursday re-affirmed his commitment to a border wall with Mexico, contradicting what White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly told some Democratic lawmakers yesterday.

In a meeting with members of the Hispanic Caucus the White House chief of staff Wednesday said said that the president had “evolved” regarding his position towards a border wall with Mexico, and that as a candidate, was not “fully informed” when he promised to undertake such a large scale project.

Throughout Wednesday evening, President Trump was reported to have taken calls from allies who described Kelly’s comments to select members of congress as undermining, with the potential of isolating his base.

Trump’s anger culminated this morning in two fiery tweets where he shot back at his own chief of staff.
