We've been down this road before though. They talk the game then stab you in the back.

And Trump didn't?

"Build the wall!" Lock her up!"

Sure, he gave us a few miles of wall but he also championed an immigration bill that included a pathway to citizenship for dreamers and their parents. DeSantis wisely voted against it.

And in the end, he gave us a gun ban that nobody who voted for him asked for, he spent like a drunk Democrat on Covid relief, and then he campaigned on a $500 billion black reparations package. What the hell was MAGA about that?

And Hillary remains free as a bird.

“And Hillary remains free as a bird.”

***************

Trump was President not the AG. No AG that wanted to lock up Clinton was getting through a Senate confirmation.
Besides, it was campaign rhetoric, nobody is throwing a former First Lady in prison.

Oh wait......you’re “goo goo ga ga” over the little man from Florida.

Is DeSantis saying he will?(He can be Trump’s AG in 2026 after his term ends)

“Sure, he gave us a few miles of wall...”

A few miles of wall? He clearly built more than a few miles of wall. He replaced hundreds of miles of ineffective barrier with new, secure fencing. He also built 47 miles of new primary wall and 33 miles of new secondary wall. It was quite an accomplishment, actually, and very effective at reducing illegal immigration.

While there are still gaps that he was unable to fill before he left office, the secure fencing in the other areas allowed border agents to focus on the remaining unfenced areas, to great effect. If Biden had continued that policy, we wouldn’t be experiencing the flood of illegals that we currently are. There wasn’t a politician in the GOP who would have dared to even suggest building a high security barrier, in 2016, nor was there anyone who could have gotten as much of it built as Trump. Period.

‘And Trump didn’t [stab us in the back]?”

You can call that stabbing us in the back, but I call it getting as much done as he was able, under the circumstances. Certainly there are things that remain undone, but Trump accomplished a lot on immigration, trade and tax policy, as well as national security. He also nominated three conservative SC judges, whose presence on the court has mad all the difference on a number of ruling - not the least of which was the Roe v. Wade reversal. And he stuck with them through the nomination process where previous Republicans Presidents would have pulled their nomination and offered up a compromise candidate, under the pressure.

“[Trump] campaigned on a $500 billion black reparations package.”
