Alt-right supporters are burning MAGA hats after reports of Trump's alleged DACA deal
News of Donald Trump reaching a possible DACA deal with Democratic congressional leaders has infuriated members of the alt-right.
And, as we've learned from the hashtag #burnmyMAGAhat, those alt-right supporters are taking their anger with the president out on his hats. Sad!

Politico and other outlets reported on Wednesday night that Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi confirmed they'd come to an agreement with Trump on a plan that would protect the nearly 800,000 people at risk by ending DACA.
The terms reportedly included providing Trump with additional border security but no promises on funding for his proposed wall. After hearing of the bipartisan move, firm alt-right supporters felt betrayed by Trump, and expressed their frustration by burning their Make American Great Again hats in protest.

In addition, the hashtag #AmnestyDon also started circulating after Trump said "We’re not looking at amnesty. We’re looking at allowing people to stay here," while speaking to reporters in Florida.
Even Breitbart jumped in with the "Amnesty Don" moniker.
Check out Breitbart. A turning point tonight.

Despite Trump sharing a denial of the deal on Twitter, many members of the alt-right were still upset after the president defended Dreamers as "good, educated, and accomplished people."
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.

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

In addition to those condemning Trump's behavior by burning their hats, prominent conservatives like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity, and members of the alt-right like expert conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich, also spoke out.
At this point, who DOESN'T want Trump impeached? https://t.co/g1mMhmm8ng

Weak R's have betrayed voters. @POTUS needs to stay the course and keep his promises or it's over! Pelosi and Schumer can never be trusted. https://t.co/ky0NWvZoBv

If reports true 100%. I blame R's. They caused this. They wanted him to fail and now pushed him into arms of political suicide—IF TRUE. https://t.co/WTqe6jzfa9

Cernovich bashed the president's followers in a tweet, which has since been deleted, calling them "stupid, low energy, and overall losers."

I'm so disappointed on your ship jumping of Trump.
You can't turn back now, the damage is done!

Cernovich then hopped on Periscope and filmed a livestream titled "The Dream is Over for Trump supporters," where he had a full-on meltdown about the president's recent actions.

Sounds like Trump better keep a watchful eye on his precious ratings and merch sales.
