Trump Is Having A Real Time Breakdown Over The Collapse Of His Mexico Wall
America is watching Trump have a real time meltdown as the President sounded unstable while demanding that Congress fund his collapsing Mexico wall plan.
Trump tweeted: (see below)**
The unstable president is having a breakdown in 140 characters or less because Congress is refusing to fund his wall.
Contrary to what Trump tweeted, Republicans and Democrats oppose building his wall. The Wall Street Journal reported, Most lawmakers representing the regionboth Democrats and Republicanssaid they are opposed and many said they have unanswered questions. A few were noncommittal, but not a single member of the House or Senate representing the region expressed support for the funding request. That includes nine members of the House and eight senators across four states: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.......................

Trump falsely claims Obama policies to blame for growth of MS-13 gang in the U.S.

Our ruling
Trump tweeted, "The weak illegal immigration policies of the Obama Admin. allowed bad MS 13 gangs to form in cities across U.S. We are removing them fast!"
MS-13 gangs in the United States were established decades before Obama took office and had been spreading across the U.S. long before his tenure. Experts told us there is no evidence Obama policies spurred their growth. Finally, Obama prioritized the deportation of criminal immigrants.
Immigration officials told us data on how many MS-13 gang members have been arrested and removed under Trumps administration is not available.
We rate Trumps claim False.

(23,950 posts)...crock of crap from the moment he first uttered it - both the wall itself, and the ridiculous and completely unenforceable boast that Mexico would pay for it.
Why anyone with 2 working brain cells would believe that Mexico would agree to fund the construction of such a wall is beyond me.

(20,819 posts)budget items. If you don't have money for X how do you have money for a wall. It's an argument created by Trump himself. He's his own worse enemy.

(50,529 posts)There's only one gang in Mexico, and it's MS13. When Trump builds his wall, which will magically pop up 90 days after he gets approval from Congress for the money, they will look at its majesty and say out loud, "oh no, now our plan to smuggle in drugs and evil gang members by tunnel, car trunk, false trailer headboard, boat, airplane, submarine, and recruiting American-born vatos to our cause is forfeit! "
There's a sure-fire way to destroy MS13 forever: annex it into the Trump Organization and pretend it's a vodka company. The only problem is MS13 would see through such a shallow trick.

(17,158 posts)he starts pounding his little fists on the lectern, stomping his little feet, and threatening to hold his breath until he turns blue -- while the nice young men in their clean white coats bundle him up in an Ivanka Trump-labeled strait jacket complete with lots of gold braid and epaulets (available at finer outfitters everywhere).
Now THAT would be TV worth watching!

(51,129 posts)Better yet, let's do that ourselves, and spend the money to build really nice walls for people in Mexico, just tall enough to keep rabbits out of their gardens.

When the senate meets with him, I hope they bring squirt guns.
That's water. Children's plastic, clear squirt guns. Do not get all gunny on me.
