Trump Tells DHS To Prepare For Border Wall Construction

After the last two presidents and the nearly complete failure of many Congresses in a row you want to give me a lecture on how Trump is an embarrassment??!!

Absolutely. For as bad as the past several Presidents, and Congress for as long as recent memory were...they weren't as embarrassing as Trump. There's always a "worst", and Trump is proving it.

Of course it's nonsensical to you, it needs to be to support your deluded narrative.

I'm sure it is, Fletch, I'm crying here. It's all over for me! :lamo

It seems to be true since your replies have gone from moronic to incoherent.

So does Putin, the Ayatollah Rouhani, and Kim Jung Un. They may all win- but it doesn't make them right.

He hasn't even taken office and is already throwing things into disarray and embarrassing as we've never seen before.

Hawkeye10 said:
Nobody needs to cover his backpedaling, because anyone who paid attention heard Trump promise that he would do what needed to be done when it needed to be done so he was refusing to tie himself to any other promises made while he was on the trail.

Did you watch Trump at all during the campaign?
Click to expand...

Wow, that's a flexible narrative y'all have concocted. And how do you bend this to explain his bringing on Wall Street and Big Oil types? You know, killing all that anti-establishment hype that people were spewing in their defense of him. Instead of draining the swamp, he's flooding the White House with the filth.

@bold: Too much, to be honest.

Like the vast majority of his tweets, his egotism, his vindictiveness, his willingness to stir up political angst unnecessarily.

If you don't know any of this, then you ain't been paying attention.

Right. Then give me some specific things he has done that prove him "already throwing things into disarray and embarrassing as we've never seen before."

Talking with Taiwan wasn't very diplomatic and has already put China on the defensive. North Korea is biding its time. Mexico is rather upset with his ideals. There's the whole Russia thing and the call for proliferation of nuclear arms.

Are you really paying attention? Doesn't seem so.

So? The Chinese get to decide who our president talks to and who he doesn't?
North Korea is biding its time.

You realize it has been doing that since roughly 1953. Good to see that you've finally noticed.
Mexico is rather upset with his ideals.

Again, so what? Clearly you prefer the pandering and appeasing and ass kissing of our current president.

There is no 'Russia thing' Its a distraction that has sucked you right in.

Obviously not, but stirring up trouble with China may not be in our best interest in the long term. Does that need to be explained to you? It's called diplomacy, it's a skill Trump lacks.

Fletch said:

And with Trump throwing things into disarray, it's going to come to a head.

Diplomacy is "so what". Can't start pissing off everyone in the world and pretending that there will be no consequences for doing so. Actions have consequence. Does that need to be explained?

Your deflection, unable to actually deal with the issue, aside, doesn't change reality. There are considerable issues with Russia. Putin isn't the good guy and if we treat him with kid gloves, which are what all the indications at this point are, it won't turn out well.

No, you're just a partisan making excuses and blinding yourself to the realities.
 
WCH said:
A memo from the Department of Homeland Security, which was recently reviewed by Reuters, suggest that the Trump administration plans to hit the ground running on the construction of that U.S.-Mexico border wall when they move into the White House later this month. The memo apparently summarized a meeting held between DHS officials and Trump's transition team on December 5th in which requests were made for an assessment of "all assets available for border wall and barrier construction."

In a wide-ranging request for documents and analysis, President-elect Donald Trump's transition team asked the Department of Homeland Security last month to assess all assets available for border wall and barrier construction.

The requests were made in a Dec. 5 meeting between Trump's transition team and Department of Homeland Security officials, according to an internal agency memo reviewed by Reuters. The document offers a glimpse into the president-elect's strategy for securing the U.S. borders and reversing polices put in place by the Obama administration.

The Trump transition team also allegedly took aim at Obama's executive actions, requesting "copies of every executive order and directive sent to immigration agents since Obama took office in 2009."

I can't wait to see him waste money on the wall and then proven the idiot he is when illegal immigration doesn't go down.
Here's a hint Donny, it's not my fence that keeps people out, it's the locks on my doors/windows and the fact I have a fully enclosed house. The fence is for looks

Do you have a double fence 20' + high with razorwire at the top at your house?

No but if you think that is going to keep illegals out I have an Iraqi bridge to sell you cheap. Just pm me so I can tell you where to send the 4 million dollars.

And when his wall fails people like you will be to blame.

It worked because it was lit everywhere and everyone knew you'd be machine-gunned if you approached it. That okay with you? Line-of-sight gun emplacements and floodlit approaches? A real wet dream, maybe, but I doubt it.
 
It didn't take the OP long to blame previous presidents for whatever problems trump will have building his wall .

WCH said:
It's going to be a beautiful wall with a big-ass door..don't ya know.

Trumps major problem will be undoing all the damage Obama and Bush [etc[ caused to immigration and getting back to enforcing the existing laws on the books.

Again, you are making statement without any support at all. What has Trump thrown into disarray?

Explain the consequences. Explain who he is 'pissing off' The only people I see pissed off are the crybaby liberals who lost power and deal with it by lashing out at everything the guy says. Kinda like you are doing.

You think the wall will build itself? Think of it as infrastructure jobs.
