Wow, Trump supporters really are snowflakes when someone calls out and taunts the Dotard.

Ask Trump that question and I'm willing to bet he'll say yes.

OK, it appears the immigrant has to teach you about division of powers. The president can't use the military willy-nilly. Congress holds the funds and can deny or approve military expenditures. This is known as the power of the purse and has been central to Western government since the time of Charles II or thereabouts.

Can we stop the daydreaming?

This is so ridiculous. It is not even about a wall. It is a dog whistle. The wall that the base so dearly wants will not be built. Trump has conveniently ignored the legal issues (as he always does) involved. Think his new attorney from Fox, diGenova (or Johnny Five-Pants as Bill Maher calls him), or any of Trump's lawyers, will be able to deal with the coming legal fights? Probably not.

That's why Trump is not worried about funding it--isn't going to happen. Even if he destroys the environment, as he has promised to do, he cannot just steal people's land.

Bolton has been waiting years and years to get promoted from Fox News to the WH. He is not going to miss this opportunity to put his warmongering belief system into action, and Trump will go along.
I hope you are wrong.

Does that give you anymore peace of mind? Trump hasn't one clue what to do. He always does what the last person whispering in his ear tells him to do. Let's hope that person isn't Bolton.

Yeah. I'm not a huge Vincente fan but his trolling is pretty funny. Conservatives have always been this way.

Denial. We as humans don't like being wrong. (one segment of his voters). The other segment is blinded who will support Trump no matter what - they would even die for him, if needed. A cult.

They are far more likely to be, and have been, terrorists.

IIRC, most, if not all, of the 9/11 terrorists were here on expired visas.

Because like his much hyped far better replacement for the ACA, that was just another of the empty promises he made during his campaign. AKA: BS

You can't just move money and military around on personal whims, that's not how government works.

Those who supported Trump obviously didn't know, everyone else knew most the stuff he was saying was simplistic and meant to appeal that audience.
