Trump said this a day after he opened to the press almost his entire meeting with the Congressional leadership on immigration. For this they got great ratings and reviews. Trump told his Cabinet colleagues that he received letter of congratulations from news anchors. "Then, after that, they were called by their bosses for saying, 'Oh, wait a minute'.
