Trump: We’re Going to Build a Big Beautiful Wall Some Steel Slats
What the Fake News Media won’t tell you, though, is that we don’t even need the Wall (Steel Slats) because the border is *chef’s kiss* tight:
The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall – but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 19, 2018
The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country. What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 20, 2018
With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE and our great Military. Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight. Fake News silent!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 20, 2018
If you voted for Trump thinking he was going to give you a wall, how do you feel now? Confident? Betrayed? Like a chump sucker?
Also, we’ve defeated ISIS:
We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 19, 2018
And also Russia and Iran and Syria are actually pissed we are leaving Syria on account of how now they have to fight ISIS without us:
….Russia, Iran, Syria & many others are not happy about the U.S. leaving, despite what the Fake News says, because now they will have to fight ISIS and others, who they hate, without us. I am building by far the most powerful military in the world. ISIS hits us they are doomed!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 20, 2018
So that’s coherent.
President Trump’s wall is way bigger and harder to clamber over than simpering pansy Mitt Romney’s wall that’s for sure
happyfeet (28a91b) — 12/20/2018 @ 7:21 am— Mr. nk, how could you possibly climb over a see-through steel-slat wall?
nk (dbc370) — 12/20/2018 @ 7:45 am— I would use a rope. A long rope. A strong rope. The best rope.
— And?
— I would throw one end of the rope over the wall. Then I would pull that end through one of the see-throughs and make a loop. Then I would pull the loop tight so the rope was secure. Then I would use it to pull myself to the top of the wall.
— But how would you get down?
— To the tune of Saturday Night Fever?
— No, no, I mean from the top of the wall.
— What are you, some kind of pendejo? I would just pull up the rope and drop it on the other side.
— But wouldn’t the border patrol see you doing that?
— It’s a see-through wall, amigo. I’d see them first and do it when they went some place else.
In the six weeks since the midterm election Trump has become increasingly incoherent and squandered what little credibility he had. He is now a laughing stock.
I didn’t vote for him, because I saw him for what he is, always has been and forever will be, a total fraud.

If Trump doesn’t find a way to build the wall, his main campaign promise, he’ll go the way of G.H.W. Bush.
NJRob (4d595c) — 12/20/2018 @ 8:57 amSeven years ago, liberals were saying “we can’t know how many lives President Obama is saving with his courageous decision in Iraq”. I think we know the answer now.

Narciso (d1f714) — 12/20/2018 @ 9:21 amNever mind the silly-ass charges that bedevil Trump’s life. This is the issue that his opponents should be harping on: Trump is both incompetent and untrustworthy. People who want a wall should be looking for a new candidate who can get things done. Clearly that isn’t Trump.
One can (and should) be critical of the hypocritical charges from those who backed crooked Hillary or embezzler Jon Corzone or racist scumbags like Maxine Waters. But the level of swamp-breathing incompetence in the oval office is so stunning that Trump’s supporters should be embarrassed on mere policy grounds.
Kevin M (cb624b) — 12/20/2018 @ 9:35 amTrump should sign the stopgap and let Congress adjourn. Then hit them with 400 recess appointments. Plenty of time in February to fight the fight to the end.
Kevin M (cb624b) — 12/20/2018 @ 9:38 amThere I go again, assuming competence.
Kevin M (cb624b) — 12/20/2018 @ 9:39 am@ Kevin – he wants the wall as a campaign issue again and will glide over the fact he could have gotten it funded while he had a friendly Congress. That being said, I think there is a bi-partisan donor class that wants open borders and looser immigration laws for their own benefit. The Dems want to import more voters and the establishment Reps want more nannies, gardeners and IT workers for themselves and their buddies.
CygnusAnalogMan (9c66ec) — 12/20/2018 @ 10:10 amSh*t is getting real … @RealDonaldTrump just unfollowed Ann Coulter…

Again, I don’t hold with the hypocritical attacks on Trump and his people (all politicians are sleazy and lawfare sucks), but the level of incompetence shown by Trump’s inability to listen and/or learn is making his presidency a joke. Now Trump has kicked down the last pillar in his temple; what is holding up?

DCSCA (797bc0) — 12/20/2018 @ 3:45 pmHere’s the thing, and this really is the thing. Trump has alienated, insulted and disaffected every ally he ever had.
Small wonder that. He’s bankrupted every investor, short changed every contractor and disabused every supporter he ever had. The man is a total fraud.
The Republican party will regret nominating and electing him. They banked on a fraud, and it will come back to bite them in the worst way.
Now, he’s even losing his base. That’s all he or they have, a radical, insubordinate minority. Come January he and they will find out what working with a divided government, not to mention a nation, is like.
Trump can’t even staff his own administration! Wait till the subpoenas start flying.
Gawain's Ghost (b25cd1) — 12/20/2018 @ 3:46 pmTrump can’t even staff his own administration!
The Senate Dems gaming the debate rules for confirmations has something to do with that. The GOP can confirm one nominee at a time, and they focus on lifetime judicial appointments.

I’m pretty sure Mattis could get an executive job at any company he applied to (barring political bias), but Trump couldn’t flip burgers at McDonald’s.
Kevin M (cb624b) — 12/20/2018 @ 3:53 pm@53. Gee. Went to Walmart for a few hours to do a little Christmas shopping and Mattis quits. Can’t wait to see who jumps ship– or gets shoved overboard- after an afternoon at Macy’s in the mall!

Kishnevi (7ee5f0) — 12/20/2018 @ 5:30 pmWell, yes. The Israeli wall has a specific purpose, a much smaller length, a different terrain, a different demographic setup, than anything on the US border with Mexico. It’s as different as tipuach eitz is from naranja.

Colonel Klink (Ret) (a79f7d) — 12/21/2018 @ 7:43 am112. It’s possible that diseases are streaming in through our southern borders AND that the spikes in disease rates are helped by lower vaccination rates. The two concepts aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, in virtually every documented measles and pertussis epidemic of the last 20 years in North America, patient zero turned out to be a foreign national (though not necessarily mexican).
Gryph (08c844) — 12/21/2018 @ 7:45 am104. I think of bull***t artists in terms of car salesmen. They’ll tell you the truth when they can and they’ll blow smoke up your rear when they have to, but only as much as they have to.
Gryph (08c844) — 12/21/2018 @ 7:47 am113. And as an aside, those epidemics also did originate in places with statistically significantly lower vaccination rates.
Gryph (08c844) — 12/21/2018 @ 7:48 amThat said, I’d prefer to see a higher level of politeness. But it’s not a violation, on this side.
Patterico (115b1f) — 12/21/2018 @ 8:28 amOh, we have a pretty nice site here; whorin’, cussin’, drinkin’, ‘n gamblin’. ‘cept on Sunday: No gamblin’.
felipe (023cc9) — 12/21/2018 @ 8:45 amSo, there’s a GoFundMe for the wall, and a GoFundMe for ladders to climb over the wall.
Any wagers on when somebody will start one for the government itself?
Dave (1bb933) — 12/21/2018 @ 9:07 am113. Maybe. Maybe not.
DRJ (15874d) — 12/21/2018 @ 9:08 amso happy you’re back i knew in my heart you’d never give up on christmas
happyfeet (28a91b) — 12/21/2018 @ 9:10 amDRJ! Merry Christmas!
felipe (023cc9) — 12/21/2018 @ 9:21 amThose were airplane kinds of people, Gryph. Here it’s the NW suburbs and the type of people that produce the most health care and doctors so we shut our mouth.
urbanleftbehind (3d4138) — 12/21/2018 @ 9:26 amJeff Flake give Spanky the figurative finger on his wall.
Karma is a b*tch.
Dave (1bb933) — 12/21/2018 @ 10:04 amMerry Christmas, felipe. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
DRJ (15874d) — 12/21/2018 @ 10:35 amHey DRJ!
Dave (1bb933) — 12/21/2018 @ 10:51 amNot sure about “feezerable”, but between here and Disqus, more like around 75, which is prolific, so I’ll withdraw “hundreds” and go with “scores”.
Noted. No ill will toward narc, happy, felipe, nk, etc.
Paul Montagu (e20d45) — 12/21/2018 @ 11:05 amMostly false regarding the assertion that illegal immigrants crossing the southern border pose a public health risk. There are other valid reasons to oppose illegal immigrants, but not disease-ridden or “dirtier” or head-lice-addled.

I wholeheartedly reciprocate, Paul.

narciso (d1f714) — 12/21/2018 @ 11:55 am127. If you think Snopes is a good source of information for how epidemics start and who patient zero is, I have a bridge to sell you.
Gryph (08c844) — 12/21/2018 @ 11:57 amLovely, content-free ad hominem attacks on Paul’s data…
But yeah, the 185 million legal border crossings annually don’t matter.
It’s a few thousand refugees who will be our undoing!
Dave (1bb933) — 12/21/2018 @ 12:15 pm“ah so cute, you think snopes matters”
The biggest laugh I get on this forum is when Narciso attacks someone else’s sources.

Sammy Finkelman (102c75) — 12/21/2018 @ 12:46 pm…and now he has Tweeted us a drawing of the artistically designed “steel slat barrier”.
(Don’t call it a wall!)
Dave (1bb933) — 12/21/2018 @ 3:59 pmTrump is back to (sometimes) calling it a wall.
