Exactly . He also just named a former board member of La Raza to run the SBA.

I am also think that Trump is DONE with this job, I honestly think he just doesn’t give a damn anymore and I frankly don’t blame him!!! My God he can’t even get his OWN SIDE to back him up!!!!

I dont blame him either. President Trump is a bandaid on the severed artery of America. Too many have done nothing for too long. Our elected representative government deserve nothing less than to be dragged into the streets and hung from the lamp posts.....They enrich themselves and enslave us.

If he closes the border then there will be people screaming everywhere about losing business.

How do you know what his strategy is??? Are you inside his group of advisors???

We do not know everything that is said or goes on with the President within a couple of hours after he makes a comment...

As I said, and it’s true, in the past two years, some in here have panicked right off the bat and then come to find out after a few days, what was done was the right thing to do...

I prefer to wait and see what happens...

I’m sure he can...He made the threat...

Do you know what discussions have gone on between the President and Mexico since he made that threat?

You must be on the young side....best president in my lifetime is still RR...President Trump gaining but not there yet.

My “Top 5” for President Trump while supporting ($) and voting for him were:

- Eilminate “ACA/”Obamacare”. (Too friendly with Ryan for the 1st 2 years...opportunity lost). “Strike”.

- Economy/taxation & regulation “Hit/Homerun”

- Judges “Hit/Homerun”

- Debt/Federal Budget, no balanced budget proposed yet. “Strike”

- Immigration/border control, talks a good game and had a good early game with Nat. Guard on the border, etc., but overall still a “Strike”.

So he is only batting .400 for me...good in baseball...not great in politics.

Yeah, I’m “young”...I just turned 70 years old January...

And yep, Reagan was a great president, but at least he had help...

Read the list of accomplishments of President Trump I posted earlier...These were accomplished with little to NO help....

Yep, read most of them...but I have my “personal scorecard”.

Mr. Trump is probably our last chance at avoiding disaster for the USA, but he doesn’t help his re-election chances with Twitter “flip-flops”...this was the week of “border closing”...speaking with the “C of C/DS” then flipflopping is not good for keeping your base energized/hopeful. Negates a lot of “rally momentum”, etc..

I understand what you’re saying, but there’s a reason he backed off from that comment at this time...We do not know what has went on since he made the threat...We do not know that he may go ahead and do it later...

I prefer to wait a while and see what develops...That has worked really well the past couple of years...
