The quotes suggest it is exactly as Trump said it. If so, that's worth a sneer. If it's just a typo by the reporter, that's barely grin-worthy. (I don't believe in bothsiderism; sides are not always equal).

Because I suspect there's quite a lot of it in your future, for you and your kids. Enjoy the view!

I'm sorry I find this amusing. I remember the first time I encountered this in a book. Growing up in East Texas, I had only heard it called Bob War. As someone who has tried to go under or between the strands, I can assure you there is nothing beautiful about it.

and I had to fence the cattle off my land. Just my pickup, my wire stretcher, my five in one fence tool, my leather gloves and spend the day riding fence.

I could take one of my horses but they didn’t like hauling a bail of barbed wire.

Oh and I have the scars on my arms to prove it.

Sounds like Trump gets regular Brazilians. Looking at what's on his head, his hair down there was made by Brillo.

directive was to put barbed wire???? WTF, women and children are mostly marching for a better life for their kids.

Plus I don't think this is NOT going to work well with our troops and trumps militia setting up camp there, that's a recipe for disaster.


And having innocent women and children thrown in the mix.

Trump is an asshole, Period.

From Wikipedia: Peter Fechter (14 January 1944 – 17 August 1962) was a German bricklayer who became the twenty-seventh known person to die at the Berlin Wall. Fechter was 18 years-old when he was shot and killed by East German border guards while trying to cross over to West Berlin.

such as the Berlin Wall, to building a wall to keep others OUT. Was the Great Wall of China unacceptable?

Things are going the Democrats' way (it seems) this midterm. Thank god the "caravan" will still be hundreds of miles away from the border by election day. That's one of the things that's going our way.
