General / Off-Topic Building a wall

Aaaannd they have walked this back...not three hours since it came out. The White House is in a tailspin and I'm worried where they are going to crash.

I was interested to see if miraculously he'd defy expectation and turn out to be a great president. Before he took office he systematically ticked all the idiot boxes, and now he's already off to an awesome start. It's going to be an interesting 4 years indeed.

For certain. I saw a protesters sign online that said "Its our own fault he tried his best to show us how dumb he was before the election." I laughed hard.
 
Trump's not the only one building a wall

Sorry

I forgot

Walls and armed guards are only for the Elites

Trump really doesn't even need a wall. He was able to keep the President of Mexico out with nothing more than a Tweet.

Uhh... as I understand it once a president leaves office he still has to be protected by the Secret Service... this is likely just a precaution.

You Trump supporters really want to bash on Obama for everything don't you?

Ps. The Mexican President told Trump he wasn't coming not the other way around even though Trump has since sold it as they decided together. You guys got snubbed by the Mexican President.

Edit: If you had bothered to use that amazing tool called the internet you would have found out this is called the "Former Presidents Act" and was legislated to at least 10 years in 1997.

Ex president Fox of Mexico responded (live) to news that Trump wants to put 20% on all Mexican goods by saying the Mexico will put 20% tax on all USA goods.

USA export far more to Mexico than Mexico to USA.

Mexico is currently our 3rd largest goods trading partner with $531 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2015. Goods exports totaled $236 billion; goods imports totaled $295 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Mexico was $58 billion in 2015.

I must be reading this wrong.

Yes, but we all know walls don't work. Please call BO and tell him he's wasting his time.

Wall between Mexico and US will never happen. But Trump did what he promised, but the funding side will fail. But because he put the funding part on Mexico, Trump did not fail, Mexico failed.

Smart and precise.

And if Mexico and US decide to build a wall together, plenty of jobs will be created and if no bricks are found to build with, Mexican bodies will do.
 
This thread is full of fakery and ignorance. You know you are on the wrong side when the mainstream media agrees with you. This thread is full of manure.
 
In any event, just watching the Media and the lefties come unhinged is more than worth the price of admission.

Finally someone steps up and declares an end to looting the US and everybody comes unglued.

And the press still hasn't figured it out.

Trump plays. "Here, pull my finger" with them every day and they always fall for it.

It's just the best entertainment you can find right now.

The press and the left are getting steamrolled and still can't believe what's happening, nor do they know what to do about it.

The Dems have lost almost 1000 govt seats at the state level nationwide in addition to all branches at the Federal level. All while fawning over the most disastrous President they have ever elected. Obama has gutted the Democratic Party so deeply, they are essentially now a regional, rather than national. party.

Thanks Barrack

What are you talking about? That's like saying that the salesman didn't fail to sell the double glazed windows because he put the funding onto the home owner, and the home owner didn't want to pay. It wasn't the salesman that failed, it was the home owner.. It's nonsense.

if no bricks are found to build with, Mexican bodies will do

That's rather chilling. So you're saying that if other countries don't accept being bullied and do what Trump says, their people should be killed. If that's in any way typical of the reaction from Trump supporters then I guess it's not too surprising that they're being compared so readily to 30s supporters of Hitler... It isn't Godwin's law if you're actually talking about facism..

Curious would you consider yourself a Pro Lifer?

Fakery and ignorance? Please. Give a detailed account of this. How like you Trumpian's to come in, say absolutely nothing subjective and then bumble away. At least give an argument. I enjoy poking holes in bad arguments.

The looting you speak of is being done by your current President. Mark my words and wait. For example, if this wall you clearly don't get will do the opposite of what you want it to do does get constructed it will be his construction companies that reap the rewards... as for job creation 10,000 people is a drop in the bucket and will add 0.002% to the job market. That wont even register.

As it stands, if something isn't done to somehow end the polarizing enmity between left and right in America, I don't think it's overstating it to imagine that a civil war on some level is possible. I don't think anyone really wants that so in my view left and right should be trying to find ways of dealing with each other that doesn't involve this kind of partisan jeering and name calling.

Factually misleading.

"Peña Nieto had been scheduled to meet with Trump on Tuesday to discuss immigration, trade and drug-war cooperation. But the Mexican leader came under intense political pressure at home after Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday launching the border-wall plan. The Mexican president called off the visit after Trump tweeted Thursday morning that it would be “better to cancel the upcoming meeting” if Mexico was unwilling to pay for the barrier."

As I stated, Trump kept at least one Mexican on his side of the border with just a Tweet.

So true.. the republicans have in effect tried to protect the hen house by inviting a wolf in to defend them. It seems pretty clear at this point that nothing less than dictatorship will satisfy Trump. He's spend the last few days gagging almost everyone who could possibly be construed as being funded by the US government from speaking to the press. The US scientific community who receive public funding have now been gagged and are planning a march on Washington. Weird times..

Yes. bi-partisanship is always the call from the left

When they lose

Let's see, refresh my memory on how many Republicans voted for Obamacare?

You have to laugh looking back at Hillary admonishing Trump about accepting the outcome of the election.

How many riots and acts of vandalism occurred when Obama was elected?

How many times did the courts reverse Obama for illegal Executive Orders?

All that needs to happen for the rancor to end is to have the left accept the rule of law.

When do you think that's about to happen?

Trump isn't the only one to use Twitter. The Mexican President does too:

Esta mañana hemos informado a la Casa Blanca que no asistiré a la reunión de trabajo programada para el próximo martes con el @POTUS.

Which translates too:

This morning we informed the White House that I will not attend the scheduled work meeting for next Tuesday with @POTUS.

You can't cherry pick twitter messages for your own cause and to try and prove yourself right. Added, I get my news up here in Canada, from Canadian organizations. Are they all fake news as well? The article I am quoting goes on to say that they have no interest in the wall, see no reason for it, and have no desire to pay for the wall in tax's or otherwise and will not communicate with Trump until he stops.

Then three hours later, your orange dictator redacted his ideas on the tax. Doesn't seem suspicious too you?

Have you even read anything written in this thread? I already touched on executive orders. Trump is on his way to making more executive orders in the first 100 days of his office than Obama or Bush ever did in there presidency. Added, when he did you guys all called him a dictator and said that only dictator rule using executive orders. But you said that because he was black, didn't you? Just admit for us that you dislike him because he is black. I will stop poking holes in your half hearted arguments.

Nerwan... IT IS FAKE NEWS... learn to distinguish the difference.

Trump is the best human who ever lived. Media is trying to trick you into believing otherwise... Look at what he has done already, everyone is HAPPY and there is NO WARS. What exactly are you unhappy about that has not already happened? Give him your love and devotion.

Followers of facism have always been law abiding (up to a point). However, history shows us that they have many other undesirable traits. From the point of view of someone on the left, having Trump in charge is a lot like having Kim Jong Un in charge. He's a leader so unacceptable that radical measures are now required. That said, illegal radical measures are a seriously minority activity. Yes there are anarchists who are getting in on the action but the vast majority of liberals in the US (many of whom by the way can hardly be described as being on the left given their support for free market economics) are simply now protesting on a huge scale.

Everyone is happy? Are you blind? He angered more people in 5 days then Obama ever did. And I mean ever. You didn't see the news on womens marches? Why is a man dictating what a woman can do with her body?

By the way, you realize you are one of the only countries in the world not to have affordable medicare for your entire country right? Even NORTH KOREA has it.

Healthcare in North Korea includes a national medical service and health insurance system.[3] North Korea’s government claims that it provides universal health care for all citizens. Defectors and some health professionals working abroad with contacts to North-Koreans claim that health services only exist for those who can pay for them.[4]

North Korea beats you at taking care of their citizens health care wise and they murder there citizens on the street whenever they say Kim is orange. (See what I did there?). You are living in a dream land. A dream where the American Dream doesn't actually exist.

Ok, you're just trolling now.

No, the looting I speak of has been done over several decades of mismanagement and bad trade deals that have resulted in the social and economic decline of the US that has lowered the standard of living for most Americans.

The $20 Trillion debt, 93 Million not working, 50 Million on food stamps, the gutting of middle American manufacturing jobs isn't just our misguided imagination. Add to that the problems of violence in our cities and the % of population in prison, and even the Americans who had the wool over their eyes for the last few decades as they got sold down the river by politicians and union leaders, are starting to see the light.

Trump hits it right on the mark - drive to Washington and see for yourself the 7 richest counties in the US with row after row of 6000 sq ft. homes and construction going on everywhere. Meanwhile, the heartland of America was sold and jobs were exported overseas so the bankers and politicians could line their pockets.

You don't need to look any further than the Clintons. Never held anything but govt. jobs and became multi-millionaires.

How are those foundations doing now that they are out?

Of course the left and the international community are outraged that someone is taking their punch bowl away.

The most generous country in the world finally woke up and realized that they were being had.
