    Why doesn't he get Mexico to pay?

    Oh, yeah. I remember. He begged and pleaded, but they told him NO! :lol:

    Just one of many things Spanky got wrong.

    Trump claims he can circumvent Congress by getting the military to build the wall. But there’s not a lot of room to maneuver without money. Whether it’s the military, a private contractor or anyone else building the wall, funding would be necessary. The constitution says, “no money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law.” Congress and the president must both approve appropriations.

    As a matter of fact most of his statements were BS.

    Just because the Wall doesn't stop everybody from going to an extreme. Doesn't mean it doesn't work.

    The Clue would be the majority going underground. Since that isn't happening. Its obvious that it deters people.

    Well a lot of the Hamas tunnels don't exit anymore. That is because Israel destroyed a lot of them.

    Ah, so Trump is proposing taxing corporate profits from American companies that benefit from NAFTA to pay for the wall?

    That’s still not Mexico paying for it.

    Foreign invasion goes back tens of thousands of years. Walls work pretty well.

    He did his job.....now he has the cult of leftness triggered all due to owning Pelosi and Schumer. Still he isn't as grossly stupid as you lefties think. Nor incompetent. As his undoing your Special Man's Legacy piece by piece validates that he isn't so incompetent.

    Funny how he was smart enough to have the Press there to put your idols on display.

    I noticed you avoid talking about the Vatican wall that completely encircles the Vatican.

    Walls work.....ask your Hollywood heroes.

    Might be smarter than building useless planes and ships designed to fight WW2.

    Well we know its not like those getting into the US.....which still isn't the majority trying the extreme.

    Do you deny that walls deter people?

    I think liberals here are freaked out over trumps mastery of semantics

    He chooses words with strong meanings to convey his argument

    Something that dems normally do to clueless republicans

    But as always trump is beating the left at their own game

    I'm sure you could, and would, argue about who owned whom until you're blue in the face. Each can take from that meeting what they will.

    I saw Trump own a possible government shutdown for the sake of a wall that he promised repeatedly would be paid for by Mexico.

    So far they haven't. And 40% of the illegals in the US don't even come across the Mexican border and of the remaining 60% many do not cross illegally. So my guess is even if Trump managed to build a perfectly effective wall probably stop much less that 50% of the illegal immigration. And the chances of a partial fence be 100% effectine is absolutly nil.

    And the wall will do nothing whatsoever to stop illegal drugs.

    Yeah and Trump having the Press there puts that into the reality it is. As it was obvious that Pelosi and Schumer didn't call them into the WH.

    Oh and there was Twitter that was roaring over Trump giving it to Pelosi and Schumer. Twitter must be having fits as to who they can ban next on the Right. Especially those Right leaning Pundits and news Sources.

    And then, both Pelosi and Schumer after the fact.....running to the cameras talking about Trump was having a temper tantrum.

    Lastly there is that difficulty the left has with discerning reality.

    Yes, yes. Individual-1 knows how to work a crowd. He does it at rallies, he does it via Twitter.

    He wants us to forget his lies and broken promises, and he wants us to forget that he is an unindicted co-conspirator according to the SDNY.
