Fox & Friends: Maybe Trump’s Wall Was “Symbolic”

Minutes later, Fox & Friends‘ Steve Doocy floated the idea that the whole wall might have been “symbolic” and that maybe we would get to a point where “they won’t build the wall.”

   They're stealing @Emjay ideas again. She mentioned this last night.

Donald J. Trump on August 31, 2016:

"We will build a great wall along the southern border," he said to cries of "build the wall" from the boisterous crowd. "And Mexico will pay for the wall."

He later said the wall would be "impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful."

No mention of it also being symbolic.

Yeah?  Well riddle me this, Fox.  How does one go about making Mexico pay for a symbol?

Normally.... it would be pretty funny to watch the dawning of reality and the resultant withdrawal (in more ways than one) of expectations re: Trump following through on his promises, past AND recent.  But... I seem to be losing my sense of humor for 'some' reason.

Who was the Sen or Rep who came out during the general, one of the first to support Trump, and told us Trump meant for the wall to be virtual, not a real wall?  And all the ATs told us that guy was full of crap.

[anubias]

Crying over this wall is ridiculous. Nobody in his right mind ever believed that wall would be built.  Now he gets to blame Turtle and Ryan for it. Stupid pubbies. Trump is laughing his ass off.

Sure were a number of Trump supporters that insisted that wall was going to be built.

Its says it right there...I bolded it for you.

You just have to understand Trumpspeak, where down is up, and up is down, and physical is symbolic!

Yep, I'm definitely not up on my Trumpspeak because I don't understand how a symbolic wall gets 10 feet higher.

Not this one. I find it hard to believe any of them did.

It's real simple.  You must first have an active imagination.  You must be able to "imagine" the wall growing ten feet higher, IOW.

And hey....that High-Tech stuff re: the wall?  It's probably just a hologram (projected, pardon pun)....lol.

Hold on now.  (Anyone remember him from TOS)  Why is everybody is a virtual tizzy.  This was just an idea tossed out by a guy on Fox and Friends.

Personally, I think the wall was both real and symbolic.  I think Trump meant a real wall and I think his supporters expected a real wall, but we knew all along it wasn't feasible, given the length of the border and the terrain and the fact that many states are involved.

But The Wall also became symbolic of our desire to have our country protected from illegals.  I read yesterday that the majority of illegal entrants are no longer majority Mexican, so that's scary right there.

[Restored]

I had no idea Trump would change his mind

Oh look... the black guy that 'transgendered' into a white woman (at least appearance-wise) and started all of the 'transgendering' crap.  He made it "popular" and a fad.

You just reflected a major issue in this. You are applying your belief to fit the narrative. These are real, major, geopolitical and legal promises that are actionable and measurable. They aren't subject to what one believes. They are subject to the real, measurable goal that was promised and is now being backtracked on....

The Trumpetts need to track down the book "Nonsense" by Robert Gula to see how they were played.

Well, everyone applies his or her beliefs to whatever subject is being discussed.

Trump is not exactly a deep thinker.  He's envisioned a lot of huge projects and they have come to pass.  Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago for a couple of examples.  I think he thought we could build a real wall.

He also thought that if he were president he could accomplish stuff in the same way the head of a company can.  He didn't realize that a president's powers are severely limited by congress and the courts.

So, I don't think this was an empty promise when he made it and I think his supporters wanted a real wall and believed we could have one. 

And maybe we can someday ... at least in some places.

I don't think Trump has abandoned the idea of a real wall entirely.  I just think reality has sunk it that it will take much longer and be much harder than he thought it would be.

Just a little point... Mar-a-Lago was built in the 1920s.

That's a Very Little point and not at all applicable to our present discussion, but if that's all you got.

This is some of the most convoluted nonsense I have ever read in support of Trump.

Also, many of the 'Trump' branded buildings, he didn't actually build, contract the building, or even oversee the project. He just licensed the use of his name to them.

That seems to be quite germane in a discussion of what he accomplishes.
