WASHINGTON D.C. -- In several Easter morning tweets, President Donald Trump said there will be no more DACA deal and threatened NAFTA, citing border security as a reason for both. 

Trump also once again threatened to end the filibuster saying, "Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!"
