Kelly: We won’t build all of Trump’s wall, and Mexico won’t pay for it

White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly told Democratic lawmakers Wednesday that the US will never build a wall along the entire southern border and that Mexico won’t pay for what we do erect — refuting one of President Trump’s top campaign promises.

Kelley is a Marine There is a reason that 2 of Trump’s staff are former Marine Generals. Their motto is engrained in them. Semper Fidelis.....Always Faithful. Note that the current Chief of Staff at the Pentagon is also a Marine General. Again Semper Fi MAC.

If he did say that he should be fired immediately.

Agreed. 800 miles of wall and other security measures will do it. The project will require extreme government spending as it is. Some of Kelly’s comments—condescending in regards to the President—were quoted in a Fox News piece. Looks like he’s politically ambitious and not satisfied with his current appointment.

John Kelly suggests Trump wasn’t ‘fully informed’ when he promised wall across entire border

Kelly is an open borders / Daca loving swamp monster .
A uniparty fool who is on the record as a Amnesty lover .
He was a bad choice and needs to be removed .

The DC hack needs to shut up .

I would say as well, even if more is required in the future, who’s to say it cant be built? Republicans will have more political capital in the future as a result when the wall is seen to be working.

Let them think they’ve got a victory over Trump - the wall even 800 miles will achieve a hell of a lot, and a few years down the line can be extended bit by bit.

Incidentally, the bit by it approach has been mastered by the left wing vermin, that have used that approach to gradually implement their terrible agenda over many years.

The right should be smart and try the same tactics. The all or nothing approach will only ever lead to failure.

My big problem here is with the generals condescending words about Trump which are totally unacceptable and I’m sure if Trump gets wind of them his general will get a dressing down.

I call fake news

[Bookshelf]

Mexico is already starting to pay. The RamTruck operation in Saltillo, Mexico, is moving back to the USA. The demise of a part or all of NAFTA will also hit Mexico hard.

[DarthVader]

Looks like a fabrication just like the Tillerson story was a few months ago. Hint: This is wear between the nationalist and NWO factions and the media is fabricating things and lying to cause division on our side. Don’t fall for it and press on.

Memo to General Kelly: You are not the president. You are former military. Act like it, instead of undermining your superior. Officers have been court-martialed for less.

In my city, the streams are underground. Build a culvert!

Trump just tweeted that he has not evolved on the wall, that the wall remains just like he had originally envisioned it.

[yldstrk]

eff you Kelly

[Hawthorn]

>> The Chinese did it 500+- years ago, with manual labor <<

Sure. And the Great Wall successfuly kept the Manchu from invading and overthrowing the Ching Dynasty?

[Hawthorn]

>> Trump’s own staff don’t support his agenda or that Trump is playing us. Which is it? <<

Not to worry. Pres. Trump is engaged in strategic ambiguity, and all WH personnel are cooperating in a game of N-dimensional hyperchess.

[Pelham]

Yep. Trump is aware of that discipline and it’s one big reason he has them close by instead of GOP hacks. They aren’t speaking out of turn, you can be sure of that.

[TBP]

A good article on that from the New York Post:

https://nypost.com/2018/01/13/we-already-have-a-border-wall-and-it-works/

I think we need it. We definitely need to enhance border security. The wall is one way, and we should add other measures as well.

Excellently reasoned and defined solution in your comment #65 to advise taking whatever feasible steps towards the goal. Good thinking with perfect clarity! Everyone should read it. You have my respect.

[familyop]

Have a look at comment #65. That's the language and strategy that should be used. It's worth repeating, when trolls claim that the President is not following through on his promise about the wall. Thank you, UKrepublican!

[Pelham]

Good cop, Bad cop doesn’t even require chess of any sort.

I’m ashamed I’ve never seen the wall in El Paso. When they built a wall near us it was substandard and scalable but it slowed down traffic considerably. They just went west to places with no fence.
