We have had 6-1/2 years of a charismatic, untested (politically) president. How’s that working out for you?
Please keep in mind that even if Trump were to win the nomination and even if Trump were to win the presidency, Congress still has to pass legislation that puts into place Trump’s plan. He has already called all politicians weak and ineffective - how is he going to work with them to get what he wants passed? Trump is good at making deals, but how do you know he will make the deal with the 80 (more or less) conservatives in the House and 10 or so conservatives in the Senate? Maybe he will make his deal with the moderate Republicans and the moderate-sounding Democrats? Maybe build the wall but give amnesty (with the funding never provided for the wall)?
Not true, all Trump has to do is enforce existing law.
I am no Trump fan by any shot but I think it's only fair to point out that as far as deportation goes, clearly the President himself has the power to enforce (or not enforce as we have seen with Zero) deportation laws and rules. So if Trump were elected, he could with just the "stroke of a pen" enact the mass deportations he's promised. He wouldn't need to negotiate that.
Maybe build the wall but give amnesty (with the funding never provided for the wall)?
Here's where things get a bit trickier: as far as building a wall (at least the one he's promised) he would have to work with Congress and this is where his past comments about that body may come to bite him back. I'm not sure he would be able to build as massive a fence as he's promised, it's not currently funded (not the type of wall he's promised).
I think he could get it done though, at least re-enforcing the type of "fence" we have now, which isn't much admittedly.
The issue for me comes in about the question of "amnesty". I don't believe Trump is opposed to what we here on FR (correctly) call "amnesty, which is things like "path to citizenship" or, quite frankly as Trump has said himself, "letting the good ones back in". He's said that repeatedly when talking about the issue of deporting families but yet there are many on FR who turn a blind eye to it. If he's elected, they better not be whining about it then, because he's been quite clear that he supports plans to make some of the illegals here now legal later, and in an expedited fashion.
Again, he's said repeatedly "we can take a look at them and let the good ones back in"'when speaking of deporting families of illegals with citizen children. And that's amnesty folks.
Comparing Obama with Trump is like comparing an Elephant with a rat because both have tails.
If you do not understand that Obama could not run a small hot dog stand efficiently enough to eek out a small profit, and then compare him with Trump who has made $10,000,000,000.00 in REAL WORLD MAIN STREET ECONOMY, then I am afraid you are exposing your lack of understanding of economic and fiscal issues.
People like Buffet, Soros & Hedge fund managers make money by shuffling paper. They do not manufacture anything, build anything. Trump made his money by employing real people in real main street economy.
