How is it going to collapse after he is out of office?

I don’t understand what you are saying, please explain

But I have heard the whole Trump is finished nonsense every single day since June 2015.... The rhetoric is getting tiring

Trump's last card is to go on national television and tell the American people that he cannot protect them because of the Democrats not funding the wall, not addressing anchor babies, and making the US taxpayer foot the bill for illegals.

And tell the American people the only way to get their country back is to fight for it.

For what it is worth I emailed the below letter to the White House last week. Recent events do not encourage me.

Dear President Trump:

As someone that voted for you and financially supported your campaign for president I am disappointed that no real progress has been made in building a wall that will stop the endless invasion of our country from Mexico and elsewhere.

You must know that the Democrats fully support open borders because it works towards their globalist agenda to completely destroy what’s left of our nation’s sovereignty and of course add to their future voting base.

As such, the Democrats will never, ever, support a vote for the border wall. You must know that. But honestly, I don’t why this most critically important, Security Issue, is even something that Congress should vote on anyway.

Stopping this continuing, decades long, invasion is absolutely central to our Defense Department’s mission. The Defense department has a clear responsibly to defend our nation’s borders using any means necessary.

Giving that mandate; you must instruct the Defense department to build an impenetrable wall and do everything that is necessary to defend our borders. If it means reducing defense spending elsewhere so be it.

After all: What is More Important than Defending OUR Borders from invasion?

There is no other way around this Mr. President and your voter base is expecting nothing less than a wall that will stop this nightmare of an invasion of our Country Once and For All.

The Time is Now. No More Talk on this. Just Do It.

Sincerely,

***there is a legal option to use military funds for border barriers


Exactly

do those steal bollard designs that you can see through with a round top so they can sit on it or get over easy

Problem solved

We don’t need a “wall” just need 40ft-50ft high barriers with the round top so they can just sit up there.

Think about

Change the definition, call it a fence and build it out of military.

yeah but a president no longer in charge of the executive branch. Federal judges and private members deep stators with employment for life holding over from every liberal admin who have no accountability to the voters, and especially donors and lobbyists who deeply crave free illegal labor run the branch. May as well since the same donors run Congress

too late we just had an election and he is approving a 2 year budget without the wall. Don’t come telling me there’s a problem we have had for 20 years.

Tell me how a border wall is not a part of border security.

History is pretty clear on this point. Border walls have always been a part of border security.

Misappropriation of funds.

Like when Bush bailed out automakers after Senate turned it down?

The American people gave him a Demo house, not his fault. He should serve it back to the people and tell them they lost their country, and to arm themselves.

“we were holding Iranian assets and he just decided to give it back without talking to congress.”

Obama flew billions of dollars in cash to the mullahs in Iran in unmarked planes in the dead of the night. The point is NO ONE KNOWS how much money O’muslim gave those terrorists(It could have been taxpayer’s money)

What I can’t figure out is why. Trump knows the American people want the wall. What the hell did he get by folding? I don’t see an upside for Trump or America on this.

I agree with that assessment.

I always thought Obama was just figure head and he just does what the deep stators wanted him to do, same with the Bushes and the Clintoons

Won't happen. Sadly he has already let the military thumb there noses at him several times, including recently. Besides, the 9th Circuit or others will stop it before the ink is dry on any paperwork. His only chance was via shutting down the government, he caved. Worse, this is after last time saying Never Again. Democrats and Never Trumpers, GOPe, and Mueller have him on the run. Sad.

Well, at least we got two Supreme Court justices before he folded.

A nation is being created with average Americans and the military on one side and the deep state and Marxist factions on the other.Ultimately this will lead to war. JMHO!

I want to ask you this in good faith. If trump can get this done, why was it not done two YEARS ago?

We the People did not rise up to elect conservatives to office in the 2018 Midterm Elections.

I agree with the method as you stated, but we were holding their assets.
