Trump Can Win Again on Building the Wall
American Thinker ^ | March 25, 2024 | Brian C. Joondeph

Donald Trump rode the escalator at Trump Tower (soon to be called Letitia’s Crib or Engoron Tower) in June 2015, promised to build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it. It was the foundation of his successful presidential campaign.

In 2015, there were just under 600,000 “Illegal aliens apprehended in the United States” according to Statista. Many of those apprehended were sent back home.

Today there are over 300,000 known migrants entering (and almost all staying in) the U.S. each month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including from geopolitical adversaries like China.

Then there are those not caught. CBP reports over 1000 “known “gotaways” a day. In total, this is more than the 3.9 million population of Los Angeles added to America’s welfare rolls each year. How many are “unknown gotaways”? You don’t know what you don’t know.

American cities are choking under this invasion. As one example in my home city, “Denver cuts services in response to the migrant crisis that’s costing the city $180 million.” It’s worse in New York City and Chicago.

Trump tried to build a wall but ran into stiff resistance from both Democrats and donor-class beholden Republicans. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell stymied a few billion dollars in wall funding while their successors now happily throw hundreds of billions at Ukraine and Israel to secure their borders, as they add a trillion dollars to our national debt every 100 days.

Just as during Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, when his advisor James Carville proclaimed, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Today “It’s the border, stupid.” This should be the new GOP mantra, shouted from the rooftops by any Republican seeking election, and even those not currently running.

At this point, if he put up a 4’ high chain link fence, it would be an improvement.

President Trump has absolutely NO chance of winning the coming election until someone comes up with a way to completely SHUT DOWN the Democrat, Leftist, Socialist, Communist CONSPIRACY TO STEAL IT. Take it to the bank!

Tell you what, I’ll match you hour for hour, dollar for dollar, and mile for mile to help President Trump win his third consecutive Presidential election. And on election day I’ll be voting and watching the proceedings at my local voting venue. Beyond that I don’t see that there’s a hell of lot I can personally do to stop the steal! Any brilliant ideas?

You said Trump couldn’t possibly overcome the election fraud, Karen, and then you took offense when I called you on it.

Make up your mind, Karen.

Which side are you on?

How many times do you have to be told something before you’re able to comprehend it, you mental midget? Now be a good little girl, go to your room and play with yourself or your dollies. And quit bothering the adults on this forum.

It comes as a surprise to people when they learn that I only take one medication, that’s for thyroid, have no doctor, and have only stayed in the hospital one night in my life, and that was for fractured ribs. From reading the drivel you send to me I suppose it’s safe to assume you’re on dozens of meds, not to mention an assortment of street drugs!
