On Wednesday night, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer announced that they reached an immigration agreement (regarding DACA) with President Trump “excluding the wall.”
The White House immediately came out and clarified.
While DACA and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to.

WH leg affairs director Marc Short calls Dems' DACA statement "misleading," says no deal on DACA or border wall $$ was reached tonight.

On Thursday morning, Trump completely dismissed their entire statement. He said they never reached a deal on DACA and that the wall is going up whether they like it or not.
No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.

The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.

Gotta love how he put wall in ALL CAPS.
Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!…..

…They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own – brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security

So there you have it. Trump basically said Pelosi and Schumer are misrepresenting their entire conversation.
