We got less than nothing. We released 5 terrorists and got back an Islamist-supporting traitor.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell wouldn’t give Trump the money to build a wall, so you have to be pretty dumb to think that Nancy and Chuck will.

You’re right!

Which is why I think Trump should crowd fund it. Monetize it. Sell Build the Wall merch, sponsorships, advertising.

Who the Hell needs or wants Congress.

5 Billion is 40 seconds of government spending.

Someone check my work.
2018 spending = 4 trillion.

Review of your post history tells me you are a never trumper, i didn’t think there were any left here, you almost sound like a global wamist troll at one point. My gut tells me you are either mitt romney or the son of a mail man.

No way Jose. I’m just a country boy living in the rural Ozarks, not far from the White and Crooked Creek.

Ovomit spent $3 billion on Cash for Clunkers, and by doing so it reduced spending on new cars by, you guessed it, $3 billion.

The program, which was somehow found to be consistent with the Obama doctrine of “don't do stupid stuff,” cost both taxpayers and carmakers $3 billion.

How about this?

60 sec/min
60 min/hr
24 hr/day
365 day/yr

So 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 31,536,000 sec/yr

4,000,000,000,000 / 31,536,000 = $126,839.17 / sec

5,000,000,000 / 126,839.17 = 39,420 sec

39,420 / 3,600 = 10.95 hours

I’m fed up with Republicans who refuse to ask the right questions, which would shut the arguments down with Dems.

Ask them if they could get OUT of the U.S.without a passport, or being screened, or going through a harassing security check. And pick a border- any border...

You CANNOT just waltz out of the U.S. and into another country.

Why do they feel OUR security should be any less than THE REST OF THE WORLD?

Barry gave Iran a lot more than that. He gave them $1.7 bil. The $150 bil was just the cash portion.

You got it backwards. It was $1.5 billion in cash. The rest was unfreezing assets previously confiscated from Iran.

Great issue oriented tweet. One of his best. Now just keep it up and avoid personal attacks.

Technically, it wasn’t “their” money. It was frozen assets of the secular Imperial State of Iran, some of which had been tendered to the U.S. for arms purchases. As the Imperial State of Iran no longer existed, there was no one to return the money to.

Previous administrations wisely declined to return the money to the Islamic government in Iran because (a) It wasn’t their money and (b) they would use it to kill Americans and in their attempt to destroy Isreal.

The thought was too return the money to the Iran should it ever cast off the Islamic government.

Then along came Mr. Genius.

Whether you like Trump or not, you should do some research and get your facts straight on this story. Trump is right and Obama was wrong. The money did not belong to the Islamic Republic of Iran and should not have been given to them.

Fake news from Haaretz aside, the five presidents before Obama knew this and that includes Carter, Clinton and two Bushes.
