As I remember it everyone took the mickey out of Trump pre-election about building the wall platform. "Yeah sure he will" - was the general comment from his detractors when he actually got in. Now he is REALLY wanting to build it they have all got googy egg on their faces !

It's not like "the wall" is Trumps idea though Oneone. The wall/barrier/fence has been under construction for decades. Trump has been erecting it for months. And some of it is being upgraded. The guy in the video said it used to be a ringlock fence? Crikey even goats get through that sh!t.

An idiot but a very sly, devious manipulative bullying one. Of course the people who were taken in by him and lent him money to save his many failures in business are bigger idiots as are tthe Apprentice fans who are now Trumpers If he invested the money he inherited in the stock market he would be much richer than he is, so much for a financial genius

Whale using Politico. His credibility just plummeted.
Politico said they didn't vote for a WALL. But did Obama say barrier? You betcha last nut they did. And he build the bastard. And I said "barrier" but Whale uses a post from a leftwing article saying WALL. Credibility GONE. |

Obama says the border fence is 'now basically complete'By Robert Farley on Monday, May 16th, 2011 at 5:03 p.m. In his speech in El Paso on immigration reform on May 10, 2011, President Obama declared that the fence along the border with Mexico is "now basically complete." https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/may/16/barack-obama/obama-says-border-fence-now-basically-complete/ |

We had a kris kringle in a upmarket restaurant with a group of friends (Barangeroo). The gift I opened had a red Trump Inauguration T-Shirt & a red Make America Great cap in it. I quickly put both on (perfect fit - 2xx) & made sure no one took it back off me. I proudly wore it home & I changed into it again New Years Eve at our party at home. Great way to fire things up - highly recommended !

Now Whale is giving us an update on Obama's FENCE. Probably the fence the border security guy was talking about.
In 2011 as President, not as senator. He can find the right one, but he won't post it. Because it will show he is wrong as usual. And that the Democrats are hypocrites . |

I wouldn't have done that before Trump was made President and he showed the world he can provide the promises he gave. No other President has ever done what he has done ie deliver on his promises. But now I would. And I'd be happy if it made the virtue signalers fire up.

Opinion
Donald Trump and His Team of MoronsNobody left besides those with no reputation to lose. By Paul Krugman Opinion Columni There have been many poliThere have been many policy disasters over the course of U.S. history. It’s hard, however, to think of a calamity as gratuitous, an error as unforced, as the current federal shutdown. Nor can I think of another disaster as thoroughly personal, as completely owned by one man. When Donald Trump told Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, “I will be the one to shut it down,” he was being completely accurate — although he went on to promise that “I’m not going to blame you for it,” which was a lie. Still, no man is an island, although Trump comes closer than most. You can’t fully make sense of his policy pratfalls without acknowledging the extraordinary quality of the people with whom he has surrounded himself. And by “extraordinary,” of course, I mean extraordinarily low quality. Lincoln had a team of rivals; Trump has a team of morons. If this sounds too harsh, consider recent economic pronouncements by two members of his administration. Predictably, these pronouncements involve bad economics; that’s pretty much a given. What’s striking, instead, is the inability of either man to stay on script; they can’t even get their right-wing mendacity right. First up is Kevin Hassett, chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers, who was asked about the plight of federal workers who aren’t being paid. You don’t have to be a public relations expert to know that you’re supposed to express some sympathy, whether you feel it or not. After all, there are multiple news reports abouttransportation security workers turning to food banks, the Coast Guard suggesting its employees hold garage sales, and so on. So the right response involves expressing concern about those workers but placing the blame on Democrats who don’t want to stop brown-skinned rapists, or something like that. But no: Hassett declared that it’s all good, that the workers are actually “better off,” because they’re getting time off without having to use any of their vacation days. Then consider what Sean Hannity had to say about taxing the rich. What’s that? You say that Hannity isn’t a member of the Trump administration? But surely he is in every sense that matters. In fact, Fox News isn’t just state TV, its hosts clearly have better access to the president, more input into his decisions, than any of the so-called experts at places like the State Department or the Department of Defense. Anyway, Hannity declared that raising taxes on the wealthy would damage the economy, because “rich people won’t be buying boats that they like recreationally,” and “they’re not going to be taking expensive vacations anymore.” Um, that’s not the answer a conservative is supposed to give. You’re supposed to insist that low taxes on the rich give them an incentive to work really really hard, not make it easier for them to take lavish vacations. You’re supposed to declare that low taxes will induce them to save and spend money building businesses, not help them afford to buyEven if your real reason for favoring low taxes is that they let your wealthy friends engage in even more high living, you’re not supposed to say that out loud. Again, the point isn’t that people in Trump’s circle don’t care about ordinary American families, and also talk nonsense — that’s only to be expected. What’s amazing is that they’re so out of it that they don’t know either how to pretend to care about the middle class, or what nonsense to spout in order to sustain that pretense. So what’s wrong with Trump’s people? Why can’t they serve up even some fake populism? There are, I think, two answers, one generic to modern conservatism, one specific to Trump. On the generic point: To be a modern conservative is to spend your life inside what amounts to a cult, barely exposed to outside ideas or even ways of speaking. Inside that cult, contempt for ordinary working Americans is widespread — remember Eric Cantor, the then-House majority leader, celebrating Labor Day by praising business owners. So is worship of wealth. And it can be hard for cult members to remember that you don’t talk that way to outsiders. Then there’s the Trump effect. Normally working for the president of the United States is a career booster, something that looks good on your résumé. Trump’s presidency, however, is so chaotic, corrupt and potentially compromised by his foreign entanglements that anyone associated with him gets tainted — which is why after only two years he has already left a trail of broken men and wrecked reputations in his wake. So who is willing to serve him at this point? Only those with no reputation to lose, generally because they’re pretty bad at what they do. There are, no doubt, conservatives smart and self-controlled enough to lie plausibly, or at least preserve some deniability, and defend Trump’s policies without making fools of themselves. But those people have gone into hiding. A year ago I pointed out that the Trump administration was turning into government by the worst and the dumbest. Since then, however, things have gotten even worse and even dumber. And we haven’t hit bottom yet.

Be honest for once, what do you think of those responses ? And do you really believe Trump gives a damn about anything but himself, family , powerful friends and giant ego ?
