TRUMP WARNS: WE MAY CLOSE 'THE WHOLE BORDER' WITH MEXICO

[left-of-center2012]

Trump said he recently shutdown the border between Tijuana and San Diego and is considering shutting down the entire southern border.

Here’s an excerpt:

REPORTER: “Do you mean the entire border?”

TRUMP: “The whole border. I mean the whole border. And Mexico will not be able to sell their cars into the United States where they make so many at great benefit to them — not a great benefit to us, by the way.

But we’re going to either have a border or we’re not. And when they lose control of the border on the Mexico side, we just close the border. And we have a very powerful border. We built a very strong border in a very short period of time. And the military has been fantastic, the job they have done.

REPORTER: “Mr. President, what about the idea that the military may use lethal force against these migrants?”

TRUMP: “If they have to, they’re going to to use lethal force. I’ve given the OK. If they have to, I hope they don’t have to, but you’re dealing with a minimum of 500 serious criminals. So I’m not going to let the military be taken advantage of. I have no choice.

Actually, two days ago, we closed the border. We actually just closed it. We say nobody is coming in because it was out of control.”

1. I wish he would close his whole mouth. n/t

[agingdem]

2. I live n El Paso

border isn't closed...is there anything he doesn't lie about????

[NewJeffCT]

4. I think he is saying he *may* close the border

not that it is closed.

[left-of-center2012]

8. The San Diego-Tijuana border was closed for a short time

A couple days ago. I think people were jumping over the fence?

[at140]

15. Big difference between "May" and "is"...

Its called comprehension.

[agingdem]

35. true

but trump doesn't know the difference...

[at140]

36. Since he will occupy WH for 2 more years,

I hope for the sake of all Americans that he is not going to lose his mind for 2 years.
We can survive a stupid president for 2 years, but not an insane president.

[agingdem]

37. he is insane...

he's lived in a vacuum his whole life...surrounded by a safety net of hires like Cohen who pay off and cover up...does anyone believe his racist daddy didn't buy him into college?...wonder who he paid to take his exams given his poor language skills and his echolalia..as repulsive as he is I do give the cretin credit though... he had enough savvy to create this persona of a larger than life great businessman and sell it to the media..as far as losing his mind...how do you lose what you never had??

[at140]

39. I can go with many adjectives, but not insane.

He is rude, and crude, lies a lot, dislikes foreign immigrants of non-European origin,
has low morals and cheated on all his wives.

But insane person can not defeat a very smart woman like Hillary and win an electoral victory.
I have known people who were insane, and they can not carry out any task requiring lot of
time and work, such as running for presidency.

Rule #1 of any successful general is...never under-estimate the enemy.

[agingdem]

44. how about sociopath...

what would you call someone who doesn't know a lie from the truth...someone who is the center of his own universe..who is alway the hero/victim but never the cause or the catalyst...someone who has total disregard for human life..someone who is incapable of empathy/sympathy only apathy and rage... playground bully, hurling juvenile insults and threats of revenge when his motives are questioned? to say he is a wannabe dictator/autocrat is too simple...I stand by insane...I had a sister who was very much like Trump..the star in her own play so to speak...dare to challenge her and the name calling and threats of harm would spew from her mouth but mollify her, pander to her insanity and she was your best friend...until you crossed her, questioned her self-serving motives and then get out of the way...and then two days before her 52 birthday she walked into her garage and blew her brains out...cunning/sly/savvy...but still insane..that's trump

[at140]

45. Almost to the TEE!

Trump is all about Trump, that is easy to observe.

[angrychair]

3. Hahahahaha

Not going to happen. What a ridiculous and pathetic idiot.

[Stardust1]

5. Sure, that sounds plausible/s

Uh, yeah. Good luck with that, Captain Spray-tan.

[Kingofalldems]

6. Once again this border stuff is a diversion.

[BootinUp]

12. A delusional diversion. The men in the white coats

Need to be called.

[libdem4life]

24. Here I go again...back to HS graduation. Oh, the good ol' days.

Never has it been more "updated" than today. I can't wait until at least an animated version with the appropriate main character of the day included. I hadn't thought of this in years. Oh , did we have fun with this !!!!

In 2018, I'm afraid it is Gallows Dark Humor, but funny nevertheless.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

7. Did he get the "500 serious criminals" number from a credible source, or did he pull it from his ass

or Fox News, which is the same thing?

[left-of-center2012]

9. He has the best people

[Dirty Socialist]

10. He has a big ass

[Dale Neiburg]

20. He was facing the wrong way.

The serious criminals he saw were his administration.

[Initech]

11. Someone needs to take TV away from him!

He's going to start a war for ratings.

[Sneederbunk]

13. If Mueller drops the hammer, Trump could be running for the border.

[at140]

16. Mueller has to go through his new boss now

what's his name...hand picked by tRump. Rosenstein no longer Mueller's boss.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

23. Could you imagine Old Fat Man and his family of miscreants climbing over the concertina wire?

Hope springs eternal!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. Mueller's hammer is being renamed Mjolnir.

17. Canada next?

I remember a comedian, Ron White, joking about closing the Canadian border to prevent the immigration of . . . geese. Ron envisioned a giant 3000 mile net.

[beachbum bob]

18. Lol, that will work so well..

[Pachamama]

19. As someone who claims he is so smart and went to the best schools, its too bad that he didn't learn

....anything about economics and trade....

Close the entire border with Mexico? Does he understand exactly what that means? The impact on trade and economically?

He is an absolute idiot and not smart at all....and as a person who went to Wharton, I am ashamed that they gave Trump a diploma....

[left-of-center2012]

21. Close the entire border with Mexico?

So our stuff can't get into Mexico either for sale?

[Pachamama]

22. Exactly

The idiot in chief doesn't get that....

[libdem4life]

25. Nah, Texas is going blue...Arizona is in a mess but headed blue...California is a lost cause.

All that's left is water states...and many miles of mere shoreline. Don't think so.

[TexasBushwhacker]

42. South Texas, along the border, is already blue

And got bluer on Nov 6th! Also, New Mexico is blue and Arizona elected their first Democratic Senator in 30 yrars.

2012




2018

[libdem4life]

26. I think it's "sold" him a diploma. nt

[dawg day]

27. What a good Thanksgiving sentiment

Here we are, a nation where almost all of us got here through immigration, and he spends Thanksgiving talking about closing the border.
>Actually, two days ago, we closed the border. We actually just closed it. We say nobody is coming in because it was out of control.”

WTF is he talking about? Does he realize that people go back and forth over that border every day, and "closing" it would pretty much destroy the economy in Texas and other states?

And it didn't happen anyway. He just makes these things up.

[Squinch]

28. Man! Mueller must be getting VERY close!

[MineralMan]

29. Hey, Donwald! How about you close "Your Pie Hole Instead?"

That'd be great...

[treestar]

30. What the heck would that mean?

US citizens not allowed to come back from a trip to Mexico?

He's an idiot.

[moondust]

31. Germaphobe

gotta keep the germs out.

[Sancho]

33. Who cares?! 25% of Florida was born outside the US...and Fl has no border with Mexico....

let's put tRump inside his palace and wall him in!!

[John Fante]

34. Can someone please tell Dotard that closing the border

would destabilize the economy in a bad way? Like recession bad? Millions of AMERICAN jobs are directly tied to trade with Mexico - has no one run this by him?

[GulfCoast66]

38. Does he realize all those Mexican made cars

Are Fords, Chevies and Chrysler’s? Of course not.

And he has already killed the Soybean market. Might as well finish off the corn market by closing Mexico to the commodity.

[jmowreader]

40. Donald, really? Name the Mexican-owned automakers

https://offshoregroup.com/industries/automotive-manufacturing-in-mexico/

These are the automakers that have plants in Mexico

GM has four factories.
Ford, FiatChrysler and Nissan all have three
Honda and Volkswagen each have two
Mazda and Toyota each have one

Upcoming factories: Kia and BMW

There are also a LOT of Mexican auto parts factories. All of them belong to companies not based in Mexico.

Tell me: can you be a "borracho pendejo" if all you drink is Diet Coke?

[Stinky The Clown]

41. If feces flinging monkeys were able to speak, they would sound like this.

He

Is

Fucking

CRAY

Zeeeee

43. That will impact thousands of U.S. citizens who do business in Mexico...

Or live in Mexico because they can't afford to live in San Diego and put up with the 2 hour border wait to get to and from work each morning and night.

It will impact people who can only afford to go to Calexico or Tecate or TJ for their medical needs - especially dentistry, which can be f'n expensive for those who are genetically prone to cavities as there's typically a cap to annual dental coverage in most plans. There's some very good GPs in the Mexican Border towns - far more than are typically available in the U.S., and availability of authorized prescriptions for some issues tend to be more diverse - so lots of U.S. citizens will use Mexican doctors for the regular, non-critical health care. So what if they have to wait an hour at the border - they don't have to wait a month or two for an in-network GP to have an opening or go to a clinic for a rushed check-up along with everyone else and then wait a couple weeks to get an opening for any labs or tests; they can go see their doctor for a leisurely half-hour or so, and get their labs and other tests done within an hour at the same clinic.
