There seem to be three sides on most of these issues:

--Trump's proposal

--Democrat resistance

--GOP congress, checking with their lobbyists...who say delay, delay, delay

DC, in all fairness, all we have so far is promises.  Until he does actually "get this baby turned around" there is no there there.   I do hope that he keeps his promises and will support his doing so.

Is Trump still winning? :smokin:

It depends on who you ask.  He's incredibly popular still on my Facebook page.  He would also still beat Hillary according to a recent poll.

He just needs to get Congress on his side but that's not easy.

I understand how you've arrived at this...by assigning your preconceived motives.

You obviously don't know 'Trump', the man, vs. Trump, the businessman.

Above all else, President Trump wants to be loved.  He...and I...honestly believe that he can, at the very least, get this Baby turned around.   I believe he takes great pride in being able to say "I TOLD YOU SO!"

....just like we see everyday here on the forum. 

So yes, he knows that in order to keep his base, he has to find a way to physically start building this thing...BEFORE 2018!

He got the Trillion dollars from Congress for his Infrastructure Bill.

The Border Wall is Infrastructure.

End of discussion, really.   (between Trump and whomever)

   With All Due Respect @DCPatriot I don't believe his $1T infrastructure funds have been appropriated and are not included in this current Budget process, BUT I could be wrong.

   That was Reince's job and he is failing bigly, as he always has @Emjay

The fact anyone is surprised about Weathervane Donny's shifting positions is what's funny.  Not everyone who points it out is a USA hating, Bildeberger, Rothschild, NWO, globalist liberal.

You forgot Goldman Sachs, but I guess that's cool now that Trump has appointed about 1/2 a dozen of them.

Well...the way I see it .... so far ... the only one that's come up with a solution ... is Cruz (as usual).
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my county to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

You may be correct, @corbe

My thinking was that I would keep mum...since the EO was already signed...regarding their willingness to fund the wall.

Once the funds are there, they can do what EVERY government does.   Forget for what it was earmarked...they need it, they take it.

   You people are making a big mistake, under estimating the guile of a multi-level chess player.


Oh no. If he's playing on the white side I see checkmate against him. If he's playing on the black side I see the Alt-Right against him. It looks like losing to me.
