Donald Trump floated adding a moat filled with snakes and alligators at the border and shooting border jumpers in the legs as a solution to the influx of illegal immigration coming from the south, it was revealed Tuesday.
During a private March meeting with White House advisers, the president asked for cost estimates on several ideas he had that he felt would stop migrants from illegally crossing into the U.S., more than a dozen White House and administration officials directly involved in the events revealed in a new book.
The book, 'Border Wars: Inside Trump's Assault on Immigration' by New York Times Washington correspondence Michael D. Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis, will be published by Simon & Schuster on October 8, but excerpts were adapted and published on the Times' website Tuesday.
One idea he proposed was shutting down the entire 2,000-mile border the U.S. shares with Mexico by noon the following day.

For sure. But remember: Liberals DO NOT understand humor. They cannot process it. See what happened when Trump joked that maybe the Russians could find Hillary's emails.
NOT everyone is us. Many people are VERY, VERY gullible and don’t get it was a joke because NOTHING being presented as being presented in ANY KIND of fair manner.
And just like in “The Godfather” when Mike says “I don’t care what he says he’s gonna kill pop. That’s the key for him” or something along those lines
Dems WILL NOT STOP until they’ve ruined and ousted and humiliated Trump.
I’m not saying we respond the way Michael did...but some kind of peaceful action needs to be taken.
Even a few million descending on DC
I’m coming from Staten Island in a Challenger if anyone’s on the way.
Make sure you have plenty of root beer and doritos or i’ll drive right by you.
bull shit posing as fake news!
For sure. I could come up with much more horrible solutions than this fake news story pretends Trump took seriously.
Another Schiff Fairy Tale.
btw, Schwab really started something today. Now TD ameritrade is offering no commission trading. Not sure how this model is going to work in the long run
Wut? Are you a horticulturalist?
Orange Man stole my idea. Oh wait, mine had Crocodiles not Alligators. That’s totally different.
Chain link fence on the other side and filled with hungry pit bulls in-between.
A hungry Rottweiler every 100 feet.
Well you could go with the Mexican monsters. I can’t remember the name for them. Not Chewbacca but starts with a C.
I READ IT!! Stock tanked 10 percent. Don’t know if it recovered.
I KNEW robinhood had to be having an effect.
you think that’s it?
We have been wondering if he reads FR. I have seen all of these ideas posted here. :)
Seriously, if all of this happened in March it would have all been in the news about 5 minutes after he said it.
With the get Trump shenanigan and articles the past few days. I am beginning to think Hillery is running again. This is all meant to clear her a path.
Chupacabra
I have an account with Tdameritrade and Interactive Brokers. IB has been cheaper.
TD has been decreasing their commissions over the years. I remember back when I had to factor in over $60 round trip for one contract.
This should increase volatility. I can go in and out faster when only having to worry about .65 a contract to break even.
If you have a problem because your account is not high enough to deal with pattern day trading rule make it a cash account not margin.
Piranha will do, too!
yeah, that’s it. Only reason I know it is because I was watching some show that had it as part of the theme. Probably murder mystery.
Wow you trade a LOT
I never come close to that rule.
I’m a several day to several week holder.
But you sound good.
I don’t lie about my faults or when i’m wrong.
I couldn’t let go of the idea that trade talks would collapse and gold would rocket even though charts told me differently. And you told me differently :(
took a bath :)
Emotions or getting set in a way of thinking have always killed me.
Let me know what you’re up to sometimes :)
that is why i posted this thread. I figure he did say it as a joke and people here would have plenty of other ideas!
