    Sorry but he isn't asking for funding for his wall. He has already backed down to just a token amount of money to save his poor pathetic ego and fool his supporters

    Really?

    How, exactly?

    Six weeks of b roll of brown people haven't done the trick.

    Every poll (except maybe Rasmussen) puts Trump way underwater.

    And the trend is against him, and getting steadily worse every day.

    I can't recall talking to a support machine on the phone. They seem to be people with a heavy Indian accent.

    $7 billion and a National Emergency. Protection of the American people is his goal and why Trump will succeed. Democrats are out to destroy the American people by allowing illegals to pour over our border and kill, rape and steal from our population.

    Are you saying you want Trump to fail and Americans to be murdered by illegals?

    Oh, I thought you were talking about manufacturing jobs. Why yes, yes, you were.

    . . .and liberals are the ones who want all Americans--including Blacks, Women, Gays, transgenders, Asians, Latinos, and EVERYONE else to enjoy the benefits of those hallowed precepts established by the founding fathers.

    Finding one single example of success from a specific group seems to be enough to satisfy you that the freedoms, inherent rights & opportunities are open & available to all. But the groups I mention above are noted there for the simple reason that those groups have been largely barred from experiencing all the benefits supposedly established for us by the founding fathers of our nation. While things have improved over time, many of those groups are still experiencing those barricades today. I agree that thinking in terms of individuals is important, but when the vast majority of individuals of a quantifiable group are statistically victims of being separated from their natural rights as individuals by the prejudice of a more powerful, co-existing group (i.e.: white males), then our system is broken and needs repair. In my statement above, I mentioned all those groups on the receiving end of that prejudice. It will cease to exist as a problem when the vast majority of INDIVIDUALS within those groups are allowed to enjoy all those rights & privileges noted for us by our founding fathers. That hasn't actually occurred yet.

    So precisely what is your answer? Take all white males and perhaps handicap them somehow and confiscate their property? Won't that make it all better? Care to explain how white males have more opportunity, than women or other minorities? Remember, the white race worldwide is a minority. Almost half of them are white males. That puts them at a very small minority. Explain to me how did they ever gain this superior advantage over the masses that far out number them? Do you need to pull out the victim card here?

    Humm, you're the second Trumpster today to do a full retreat to Mexihate over Trump.

    There is no national emergency.

    And he very idea that the President of the United States has the power to rule by decree is about as un American as you can get.

    Full retreat? I am still in the same executive chair (expensive leather) I was earlier in the day. Made a ton of money today, BTW, Thank you President Trump.

    There is a crisis and all of your bantering and fake news will not change that.

    Nothing like thinking that boasting on a political forum is somehow going to make oneself feel better about being a loser. Really sad!

    Well then why hasn't he spent it to build his wall? Glad to see you admitting the shutdown for his 5.7 was unnecessary.
