I’m with Rush Limbaugh on this. This was the perfect time for Trump to NOT be bluffing. Oh well, another opportunity lost. The wall remains merely in our imaginations.
My gut tells me he has not given up on the wall. He will keep at it until it’s done. One thing about Trump is that he doesn’t like to lose. Failing to get a wall will be seen as a loss. That’s probably why the WP and others write stories like this. They are attempting to demoralize us and marginalize Trump.
Prez T has WaPo tied in a knot. He is getting it done all over the map, SCOTUS, downsizing fed govt, tx changes, changing our posture globally. and what do they have?
his bluff? give me a break...
Yes, it would sure seem like he is rolling on every topic: Obamacare repeal, Obama’s amnesty, border wall, etc. Let’s see if he completes that roll over with Congress or decides to show some balls and act like the president we elected.
I think “Lock her up” was the biggest applause line followed by the wall.
A blatant lie. The President simply said "sh-t or get off the pot". He had absolutely zero authority to "force" a House vote.
The Washington Post needs to put down their anti-Trump crack pipe...
Seems he lost this deal.
Only pick up the gun when you’re going to fire. Not just to point.
Just today another leftist judge blocked Trump’s order of stripping money from sanctuary cities.
Leftists sure have been doing a lot of Winning! lately.
Trump and his supporters? Not so much.
Never give in to the left. Not one inch. Never. Ever.
Looks that way. Heretofore he was known for keeping promises.
He’s going to let the dims kill themselves with a thousand cuts . . . Now every act of terrorism can be laid at their feet for refusing to allow a border wall.
All I care about in the first 100 days is that Gorsuch has taken his seat....and Schumer absolutely failed in his struggle to be the big boss of the party.
The Republicans just elected Jon Ossoff to Congress. There is no way there will be a decent GOP turnout after this betrayal.
Having lived in DC all my life, I’m well aware of the Washington Post Double Speak for the DNC,
The Wall has already been built even without brick being laid. Talk to the People and the Border Agents along the Southern Board, crossing are down over 80%, many illegals have self deported since Trump entered office, no more catch and release or midnight small town dumps of illegals.
Yeah Trump’s really losing on this issue!
I have no doubt the wall will be built, but it may not be fast enough for some people.
How it will be funded is a nonissue for me, considering it’s only going to cost $1 billion out of a $3 trillion budget.
By the way, I recently learned that on October 26, 2006, U.S. President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 into law stating, “This bill will help protect the American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform.”
The bill was introduced on Sep. 13, 2006 by Peter T. King (R-NY). In the House of Representatives, the Fence Act passed 283–138 on September 14, 2006. On September 29, 2006 – the Fence Act passed in the Senate 80–19.
It was supported by Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton at the time.
The law is still on the books, but of course, the fence was never built.
This was the old tactic of throw the shiny toy while you take the steaks off the grill and into the house.
Then the toy will come right back to him in the form of more border agents and technical means with the wall to follow shortly.
No one is more angry and frustrated than I am. It’s long past time to kick ass. But A:Trump is the man in the hots seat and B: He’s STILL the quadruple down badass who ran for president. Much as I want him to grab someone, ANYONE by the back of the neck and smash their rotten fecking face on the street, 100 days ain’t shyte at the level T is now playing. Give him 2 years minimum, and even that is being a bit pissy and impatient.
