Why Trump Can't Build His Wall

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Without discipline, organization or bargaining skills, the administration has never stood much of a chance.

“President Donald Trump’s border wall died yet another death on Tuesday, as the White House retreated from last week’s boasts about shutting down the government over it. Realistically, the wall has been dead for months, and perhaps since last year; Trump’s renewed bluster served only to demonstrate how weak he is, and to weaken him further for the next round of bargaining. Who’s going to believe him after so many empty threats?

The wall, in fact, offers a good example of why Trump just isn’t very good at presidenting.

To begin with, it demonstrates that choosing a political agenda based on whatever sound bite produces a strong audience response is a risky strategy at best. The wall was never a well-considered policy, and its very real defects had never been smoothed out during the campaign. Claiming that Mexico would pay for it created both entirely unrealistic expectations and a needless foreign-policy problem right off the bat.

It remained a possibility even so. But Trump’s chaotic transition meant that there was never a real legislative agenda for Republicans in Congress to follow, which left them to pursue their own priorities. The wall wasn’t at the top of their list. Trump’s embrace of extreme partisanship, meanwhile, meant that Democrats were in no mood to compromise. This combination of chaos and partisanship contributed to Trump’s very low approval ratings during what would normally be a honeymoon period, which meant that neither party was all that eager to do what he wanted.”

Trump is taking a beating as the Mueller investigation is heating up

Time to resurrect his wall demands to divert attention

The tyrants want National ID. Not a wall. The wall is just a smoke n mirrors game and the American electorate is just stupid and enderinformed enough to buy into it.

Without an illegal immigrant problem they can't easily get away with a federal national ID, and ultimately a federal national database of Americans, as well as whatever uinfo about Amwricans they want to add to the database.

Do yourselves a favor and read all of the past legislation regarding National ID.

It's not good. And purposely left open ended saying that federal intelloigence agencies can add whatever data they want in the future.

It's never been about a wall. They want a federal lD for every American.

Remember this. When the government fears the people, it's liberty. When the people fear the government it's tyranny.

And too many thoroughly indoctrinated, undereducated, underinformed fuckers on both sides of the fake two party system are all for it.

Problem. Reaction. Solution.

Thats easy. Mexico will never pay for a wall that costs more than their economy can generate in a decade.

 

[JGalt]

The wall isn't dead yet. Trump will probably just reallocate the money from somewhere else, possibly the military budget. That could be why he's pulling the troops out of Syria.

He can do that without the approval of Congress.

I think you missed a few decimal places on Mexico's annual GDP. They were over a trillion $USD in 2017.

The establishment wants open borders for cheap labor.........Dems to change the demographics of the nation for votes.........

The alternative to the Wall is start massive raids to business and start deporting illegals in MASS........of course they will not do this.............But it would end this discussion period..............

Force them to do something about it...............Should be our path.

He can do that without the approval of Congress.

Estimates for materials is well over $10 billion.
Logistics.
The military must maintain reediness. Personnel and equipment requirements are enormous.
The legal means of instituting martial law in order to circumvent normal eminent domain procedures.
Funniest part is that republicans had full control for two years, but they already have this wall:

Yes the ruling class wants more illegal immigration to divide us, keep our salaries down, and take more of our liberties.

This may explain why the ruling class hates Trump so much.
