No.

The well-known fact that his threat to shut the border was little more than bluster. On several occasions.

And his promise to build the wall. And so many others on immigration.

One is not dependent upon the MSM to be aware of these facts.

Oh ye of little faith.

People who like to live in the defeatist world forget a couple of important things

1- Trump has everyone in Washington against him. And I mean even Rand Paul and Mike Lee

2- it’s the job of congress to close the border as much as it is Trump’s

3- Trump has the media news and pop culture against him
4- the judiciary is against him (us) and acts that way

And by against him I mean against us

The way he works it, and I am writing this for others who might be interested, realizing that you are not. Interested.

The way he works it is he gets out there fumbles around which forces the opposition out from the shadows

Name one congress member (who pretend its not their job to protect the borders) name one who is against trump for not closing the border quickly enough

Well... you along with many on this thread are in good company with the Dems, Never Trumpers, and MSM.

But no doubt, most of you will adjust your attitudes when the news is more pleasing.

Pathetic.

No.

Wshat’s pathetic is somebody who supports a mortal politician no matter what.

One who has blindly joined a cult of personality. Blinded to facts and reality.

I understand. ,the problem is that trump too often makes threats like closing the border then compromises by doing it in one year. When your threats are empty people just disregard them because they suspect it’s just a tactic. In trumps case too many threats go nowhere.

“no matter what” ??? You can’t be serious — that’s an ultimatum you’re applying to your expectations.

Despite the overwhelming hurdles, Trump is continuously pushing the ball to the end-zone. If that’s not obvious, reevaluate whatever you believe you’re contributing.

The illegals pouring into our homeland have taken the measure of Caving Donny.

I would love the news about the invasion and destruction of our homeland to become more pleasing. Unfortunately we have a talker in the White House, not a doer.

That's almost as good as achieving something.

You're wrong Okeydoker...

The most powerful threats come from people who use them in a variable random way... it's more effective. If people/countries think you MIGHT randomly ruin/destroy them but they're not one hundred percent sure it's 'their turn' - - an "if or when" doubt, you've got 'em....

Keeping your word on every threat takes massive energy and time... it's a waste of time and resources. Doing it randomly keeps everyone on their toes with much less effort and costs.

Trump knows what he's doing.

How come thePrez going to Beverly Hills shutting down 405 is a big deal but when St Barry of Honolulu did similar things no one batted an eyelash? I’ll be back after my Twitter suspension is removed after this remark

I let y’all know if Twitter kicks me off

***...he’d give the country “a one year warning” to comply.

“But if in a year from now drugs continue to pour in we’re going to put tariffs on,”***

In one year over a million invaders (That we will know of, and about 3 million that will sneak in undetected) will come through and be let go into the country.

That’s 4 MILLION or more

Plus tons and tons of illegal drugs.

And about 30% of those that come in will be either criminals or terrorists

Not a good plan

I’m disappointed in this method

Trump is saying Mexico had been great the last 4 days

I haven’t checked, but is Mexico stopping the caravans?

Or still helping them invade our country?

Which to me is an act if war

This is a big mistake

One year of millions of invaders and tons of drugs?

Then he will do something?

Unacceptable

You assume you know all the President knows.

You do not know, for instance, what he is not saying.
