Trump is wrong when he says, as he has on numerous occasions, that Obama said upon signing DACA that it wasn't going to be upheld. Obama had previously expressed skepticism that he could take unilateral action to protect DREAMers, but not, obviously, at that moment.

Asked if he'd ask landlords to go easy on federal workers not getting paid right now, Trump says, "I think they will...I think that happens. Hey, I've been a landlord for a long time...they work with people." Pressed, he eventually says he would indeed tell them to go easy.
