Former President Donald Trump’s said that if he wins the presidency again, his first executive action would be to restart construction of the wall on the southern U.S. border.
The president told Epoch TV’s “Kash’s Corner” on Jan. 31 that completing the wall has a significance that extends beyond domestic policy because it would project an image of strength to China’s Xi Jinping and other world leaders.
“First of all, the wall, even for him,” Trump said referring to Xi. “You know why? Because when he sees millions of people pouring into our country, he loses respect for our country.” The interview will premiere at 8 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 7.
“When him and Putin and Kim Jong Un and Iran’s leaders, when they’re watching millions of people walk into our country … They lose respect.”
President Joe Biden rescinded or froze dozens of Trump’s border policies upon taking office in January last year. The relaxed policies have led to a flood of illegal aliens crossing the border in volumes unseen for decades.
Border Patrol agents apprehended 1.9 million illegal crossers in 2021, four times as many as were apprehended in 2020 under Trump. The number of unaccompanied children crossing the U.S.–Mexico border reached an all-time high in 2021.
Biden froze the construction of the wall with an executive order issued on the day of his inauguration. Millions of dollars worth of materials have languished in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas since and could now be sold for scrap for pennies on the dollar. The wall’s accompanying roads, cameras, and sensors have remained uninstalled or unfinished.
And start with the pentagone, then foggy bottom and the state department. Nuke them all and let God find the innocents.
I thought that he might say that. Quick and easy and correct.
Whatever he does is going to raise howls of protest but what else is new?
Protecting our nation is the job. Sending messages to China, Russia, NK & Iran is not.
YES!!!!
“Clean out the FBI, CIA &DOJ”
Change their missions. E.g., FBI becomes in charge of cleaning spittoons. CIA in charge of inspecting grounds and cleaning toilets. etc.
Create new agencies, new names, to assume former duties of FBI, CIA and DOJ.
I think maybe you’re the only Freeper left who “gets it”. Trump could have accomplished a hell of a lot the he didn’t because he let the swamp creatures usurp all the power we gave him. To paraphrase Obama, you don’t go to a knife fight with Marquis of Queensbury rules.
Hey, you can thank Paul Dipshit Ryan for not adding the wall funds to the mega spending bill in the Fall of 2018. It would be peanuts compared to the total budget.
Another example of many, where Trump trusted the A-holes around him.
Voter ID, Crime, Border Security, Energy, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Transportation, Infrastructure, Defense, USA ISOLATION, Conservation and Education, ....... but we repeat ourselves.
Possible to get a majority to impeach Biden and Harris, but again, zero % chance of getting 2/3 to convict either in the Senate.
He was fought every step of the way by BOTH parties, and had to deal with a several bogus investigations and 2, count’em 2, impeachments. That he accomplished all that he did despite the multi-pronged opposition he faced is a tribute to his moral strength and his organizational abilities.
This time will be different. No more softee Trump - he’s going after the Swamp, tooth and claw. He knows, through first-hand experience, that they are the most dangerous enemies of the US.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
“Nothing really changed or slowed down at all.”
Puhleeze! I am sick and tired of those saying that Trump was either ineffective or is part of the establishment. Neither is true. Had he merely had a modest amount of support from his own party, he’d have been FAR more effective. But, if you’ll recall, he got into the 2016 race in the first place because of the RINOs/Assistant Democrats. He complained bitterly (voicing our opinions) about them campaigning as conservative opposition to the Leftist Dems, only to sit on their hands (at best) or actively cooperate with those very same Dems once they get elected.
Trump recognizes the principle internal enemies of this country, and they certainly include a large part of the Republican Party (witness the anti-Trump governors and Secretaries of State in AZ and GA, and how they refused any serious attempt to find (let alone punish) the massive cheating in the 2020 election.
Do you have any sources that illegal aliens reduced any? I can’t find it. I did find:
#1 - finish the Wall and massively fund the Border Patrol to enforce our immigration laws.
@2 - Fire General Milley and all of the other perfumed princes in the military on Day 1, replacing them with Generals and even Colonels who understand that the purpose of the military is to kill people and break things when called upon to do so, and to prepare to do so constantly as both a deterrent to potential enemies and to make the killing & breaking that much more effective and efficient in the event that deterrence fails. No more paying for cutadickoffmes or addadicktomes. No more social BS - that’s for other parts of the government (maybe), but definitely NOT the military.
3) Re-approve all domestic and off-shore pipelines and leases for fossil fuel production. Reverse/eliminate all regulations related to electric cars.
4) Resume stripping the CFR of useless and harmful regulations.
5) Reverse all Covid mandates immediately; fire Dr. Fauci.
5a) Appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate massive crimes against humanity committed by Fauci and other bureaucrats, as well as pharmaceutical company executives.
6) Appoint Seb Gorka, Corey Lewandoski, Roger Stone and other stalwarts to positions created to eliminate corruption in the SES of our bureaucracy; MASSIVE prosecutions of corrupt bureaucrats.
7) Special Prosecutor to investigate election fraud for any and all federal races going back to at least 2020, plus put forward proposals modeled on state legislation that will prevent/hinder future cheating.
8) Special prosecutor to investigate corruption in/around the Biden family.
9) Fire the head of the FBI, CIA and other agencies that are not only not doing their jobs, but have led their agencies into interference with our electoral and legislative process. Bureaucracies and agencies must SERVE the Executive (and, thus, the people who elected the Executive) while obeying both the law and the terms of the legislation which created them.
10) Re-impose tariffs on China and Iran, and kick out as many Chinese and Iranian nationals as possible. Most are either spies or industrial spies, and they hurt this country immensely. Ditto for any other nation that is screwing with us in any way.
11) Two scoops, every single day, just to piss of the Left.
That is an excellent list.
If Trump campaigns on issues, he wins easily.
He should gut every federal executive department.
Trump needs to publish a Manifesto 0f what he would do in his first 100 days. That should be number one—Build the Wall. Number too pardon ALL Jan. 6 political prisoners. Number Three put in the pipeline, Number Four—Open Anwar oil drilling. ETS. Like Newt’s Contact with America—a list to look forward too!
Not Fact—He had the Democrats and Media fighting him every step of the way. EVERYTHING Trump did was “Racist” “Criminal” and “Anti-American” He got a great deal done despite that.

And prosecute the deep state aholes involved. Then fire 33% of ALL federal civilian employees. Dump the FBI and beat the crap out of the upper levels of the DOJ and CIA.
Then warn GOP cowards he’ll work to primary any of them backstabbing jerks in 2026. Yes, I mean that. To hell with them, assistant Dems all.
