Trump, inspecting samples for border wall, slams Gov. Brown for "doing a terrible job' running CA

President Trump broke from his inspection of border wall samples on Tuesday to castigate California's Democratic state government, saying that Gov. Jerry Brown is "doing a terrible job running the state."

Trump's first visit to the nation's most populous state is to be brief — just one day — but long on symbolism. He spent about an hour inspecting border wall prototypes built at his direction in San Diego, and plans to speak at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and travel to a fundraiser in Beverly Hills that is expected to raise $5 million for the Republican National Committee.

Yes! The military proved that today.

[bert]

He was speaking to his troops as commander in chief. They not only recognized their commander but cheered many times.

He truly is their commander and they as Marines know and appreciate that fact

[chuckee]

The weird thing about it is that the radical Dems looking to replace Brown almost make him Moonbeam look rational. The state is lost to terminal pandering to identity groups. As part of Nafta negotiations with Mexico perhaps Trump can offer California to Mexico as a bargaining chip.

[Redleg Duke]

She specializes in that. Trump hater all the way.

[Godzilla]

Moonbeam didn't want Viet immigrants in 1975, probably because they'd vote republican Today everyone's welcome

California, a first world country with a third world government.

[pfflier]

OK which other recent president even got a sample?

[caprock]

Amen! (from Thousand Oaks)

In Engineering...if you are going to make a million of something, design it to be cheap to manufacture, easy to install and meets the design spec.

A year is NOT a long time for all this to take place plus considering the people trying to block it.

“It took a year to get samples.. just incompetent or impotent.”

He’s has spent the year trying to get a-hole repubs to fund it. The idiots would be cruising to a 60 seat majority if they had got behind Trump all the way. It’s pretty obvious he will have to find a way around congress if he wants it funded.

I was lucky in 1972-73 during the Infantry Officers Advanced Course. The marines sent Clovis C. Coffman. Buck was and is a force recon legend. He had 26 ribbons/unit awards on his left chest to include the Navy Cross. He rode a Harley. I pray he is with those he deserves to be with plus those he wanted to be with. Buck was truly OUTSTANDING. A tip of the beret to Buck.

We’ve had decades with no border wall, but now you bitch that 365 days went by without it already built.

I don't understand those people. First it's "hErR dErR, yOu cAnT bUiLd a wAlL," then it's "wHy hAsNt tHe wAlL bEeN bUiLt yEt."

The next governor of California should visit Venezuela to see how Venezuelans are coping with a third world sh*thole... 😀

[EdnaMode]

That’s fantastic. :D

[CdMGuy]

Consider the source of the article. Simply more BS from the LA Times. I stopped reading this left wing rag many years ago. Instead of focusing on the wall, they go off on tangents and attack him for firing Tillerson, a man who could not seem to accept following President Trump’s goals and objectives. If you cannot agree with the way your CEO wants to head, then by all means resign and get a job elsewhere.

[Lumper20]

Agree. In this case Tillerson was not Trump’s CEO. If you are not on the same page as the Pres-LEAVE.

“...He got a fantastic reception from the troops at Miramar....”

Of course he did.

They’re “his boys” and he’s their CinC... and unlike the muslim POS we had for eight years frauding OUR Country, those Marines know this President has their six completely.

New sheriff in town, a great thing to be able to say.

RE the Wall:

It’ll get done. He’s facing resistance from everyone on the D side, and from half of the R side. But it will get done.

[Big Red Badger]

What Ya going to do?

I’m right behind You.

[upchuck]

Go to the article just to look at the pictures. In the first one, an umbrella is sheltering President Trump from the rain. And guess who's holding it? Don't miss that it's a broken umbrella.
