President Donald Trump Doubles Down On Border Wall Fight In National Address | TODAY

[cicero]

guess who i'm voting for on november Trump

[wk]

He met the Democrats halfway by lowering his asking amount to 2.5 billion (only 10% of the amount Democrats voted FOR just a few years ago). He's trying to meet them in the middle between 5 billion and zero. The Dems should show statesmanship by meeting him there. It's what the American people want.

I offer no apology for what I am posting, for this is truly how I feel. This is my opinion, not a debate. If you disagree, or find my position offensive, I'm perfectly fine with that. Feel free to unfriend me if we cannot agree to disagree. I wont debate or argue my beliefs.
I have lived through several United States Presidents prior to our current President Trump. In my lifetime, I have never seen nor heard of a President scrutinized over every word he speaks, humiliated by the public to the point of disgrace, slandered, ridiculed, insulted, lied to/about, threatened with death, had his wife and our First Lady disrespected, & his minor child insulted, threatened & harassed.
I am ashamed and saddened by the ruthless, meanspirited, hateful, cruel, biased people who display themselves as having no civic pride, morals, ethics, decency or respect for our country's traditions and values. My elders and teachers taught me many yrs ago to respect our President, whether I voted for them or not. All the news stations & reporters who feel they have the right to perpetuate blatent lies and fabricate "facts" for a "good story" are dividing our country beyond belief. Many only report the negative "news" and never the accomplishments of our President. If people do not research everything put out by the MSM, they are left to believe all the hate mongering news. This is leading to so much intolerance that I feel we are nearing the brink of a civil war! No other President that took the oath of office, has been on the news 24/7, scrutinized for their every word, facial expression, decision, handshake, what he eats... NO, he is not perfect, far from it! No President or person is, including you and Yes, he makes stupid comments and doesn't use the flowery language of a "professional politician". However, I believe he truly loves the United States of America and works tirelessly to make things better for us all. He is very different than what we've become accustomed to, thank goodness. The people who would rather see our country fail than help him do his job need to stop. I was always taught "If you can't be part of the solution then at least don't be part of the problem". I personally want our President Donald Trump, as I did his predecessors, to succeed. To hope for failure is INSANE. United we stand; divided we fall.

It makes all happy to hear that the government workers don't get paid zero TKS to our great great president of the United States Donald J Trump and his beautiful family

[_WOR]

I swear that when Trump hopefully builds this wall I’m going to make a diorama of it to put out on my front lawn

[perfectsquare]

The wall should be built with lard. So people slips when climbing it.

*ANSWER; use half of the money collected or impounded from criminals, and *billions of dollars are impounded nationwide each year.* In 2014 the DEA seized $5 billion in cash and property from people -- greater than the value of all documented losses to burglary that year. That total does not include the dollar value of other seized assets, like cars, homes, electronics and clothing... *Since it is mostly federally seized and an approved legal practice, then no additional laws are needed.*

I’m just here wondering if they new the video would be 4:20 😂

[kingmode]

[joemonroe]

Do you let the pack of dogs poop in your yard, or do you put up a wall, call the dog catcher, and lock them up, fine the dog owners?

[EnZodiac]

[tonyamore]
