Master at Marketing my foot....Trump backs off demand for wall funding (legal, border)

[don1945]

All I can say is, if they ever DO build that wall, the workers better get paid up front. Donald Trump has a history of stiffing his workers. (Oh, that's right, I forgot..........that is simply being a smart businessman !)

When you are losing $50 billion a year, a trade war doesn't sound too bad. What do you have to lose?

Candidate Trump is turning out to be a lot different than President Trump.

The number of his supporters hair catching fire are increasing at an alarming rate as the months pass by.

The genius should of thought about that beforehand. If Cheeto had any sense he would of realized it would never get through the congress, but then again idiots are not known for thinking before running their big fat mouths.

We are losing nothing. We get an extra 50 billion dollars worth of goods and increased investment in the USA and our deficit partially funded.

The big dealmaker couldn't close the sale? The man who sold himself as the master negotiator couldn't bring his own party in line? The guy who promised that Mexico would pay for his stupid wall idea had no idea how to actually deliver on his promise?

You sure were sold a bill of goods, weren't you?

A pity. Have you ever heard of retaliation?

I will repeat this one more time. Mexico or the American public is not going to play for Trumps wall. You can wipe the Trumpaide off your shirts now because it is not going to happen. The con man sold the gullible a bill of goods. You would dam lucky to get 100 miles of chain link fence.
