What a disgusting post.....thousands of illegals pouring over our border because of their "dreams"? Why any American would condone this in-your-face taunting, never mind posting it is unbelievable.

Agreed. How would any American not see this arrogant POS for what he is? He's ok with stealing dreams from our own citizens because the Mexican government is too chicken sh*t to provide it for their own?

Good idea. But realistically, Trump is going to use that money to fund the wars he and Bolton will initiate.

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.

Trump is their commander in chief though, in the military, it doesnt matter what the little guy wants to do, its all about what your superiors are telling you to do.

That may not be true.

According to Vicente Fox Trump's hands lost several glove sizes.
The wall may just look bigger comparatively.

NAFTA ????

Not their job.

Our military is only allowed to build walls, bridges, etc. in foreign countries.

So is the obsession with that stupid wall. This is why it's a bad idea to be a one-issue voter. Trump won over a big percentage of his supporters when he first made that promise, and it's the only thing many of them cared about. Now that they don't have it, they're either furious or in denial.
