    I would guess with him starting WWIII to distract everyone, then when the dust settles, Repubs delaying any criminal prosecution, and then he dies, and every Fox viewing grandma has a tear in her eye.

    From corrupt.af

    "Billionaire investor Steve Schwarzman’s newfound status as a trusted outside adviser for President Donald Trump has created blurred lines in which the Blackstone CEO is offering guidance on policies that could boost the fortunes of his company and his personal wealth.

    The starkest example was Trump’s reversal last week on labeling China a currency manipulator — a central campaign pledge that could have dealt a major blow to U.S.-China relations."

    The same people who ended up paying for healthcare for all that wasn't supposed to increase costs, reduce coverage or prevent you from keeping your doctor.

    It's real hard to predict, but analyst are saying out of the 10 states that will be effected most by the "boarder tax," 9 of them are red states that voted for Trump.

    Try not to worry Cman, just kick your legs up and watch all of the saps who voted for this guy reap what they sowed. Same people from the sticks in the South almost got the health plan of their dreams too, as it would have been free since they all would have lost coverage.

    The people who want a wall want a wall first and foremost. If you gave them an option of the US paying for the wall or no wall, they'd pick US paying for the walk. How it's paid for is secondary. If Mexico pays for it, it's a bonus.

    Really? That's why I had to pay cash for a CT scan despite $1100 insurance, which, had I used, would have charged me $2200 for the scan.

    Explain to me how useful my insurance is.

    Future timeline of the wall:

    Wall gets put into budget
    Wall starts to get built, while Trump always repeats "Mexico will pay eventually," probably get snippy and say "I never said when Mexico would pay for the wall." Rinse and repeat for the rest of his term.
    Flash forward to next election. Part of campaign is "I about to have Mexico pay for the wall."
    Loses election, blames Democrats for not having Mexico pay for wall with a potential "rigged" election kicker.

    You must be getting tired with your attempts to change the subject. They aren't even as fun or impressive as they were a month ago..

    Where are the Trumpmaster 3000 photos to go along with this?

    So what about the US Citizens that would have their land taken via Eminent Domain to get this wall built? Do they have a vote or is it only the bigots that live no where near the wall that want it so badly?

    But that wasn't the promise was it. If Trump had told the truth and said at all those rallies: "We're gonna build a wall and pay for it too..." you have to wonder just how that would have been received. What Trump said has not translated into reality. Mostly its been just red meat for bigots that need someone other than MooseLambs to hate. Mexico told Trump to take his wall and shove it up his ass. Canada is about to tell Trump to fuck off as well. If this is his way of destroying NAFTA, its working quite well.

    Its almost as if it really doesn't matter what Trump doesn't get done, as long as he's POTUS, its all good and anything goes.

    "We're gonna build The Wall! And who's gonna pay for it??" "Mexico!!!!" whatever....

    The wall is a useless concept. It will not save one job from leaving the USA and it will not stop a single H-1B visa from being granted to take what would be a high-paying US job and give it to an elite from the 3rd world.

    That people are still talking about it just goes to show that useful idiots don't stop talking after an election.

    Do you care if they are bigots that have their property taken by eminent domain?

    It was a meaningless declaration. It's the ideal goal but it still required a third party -- the Mexican government -- to agree with. Just because Trump said so as the goal doesn't mean it was something he could simply implement and no rationale person would expect otherwise.
