Trump should have had that border wall built and Mexico pay for it like Trump himself said he would do in 2016.

[vivavasquez]

they did send troops to the border, i saw them . national guard erecting razor wire and making it feel like a war zone, it did happen . it's amazing how they lie without a care for truth .

Again, why are you giving this man a platform? He should have stepped up and said all of this before while inside the admin. He is a coward and he wanted to cash in on his book advance.

[Pannkakaize]

Why would he be joking? "We already have bordor control" yeah right

[Aristotelezz]

What happened to the wall with Mexico, that Mexico was gonna pay, and that got higher and higher the longer it took?

[FirstLast.....]

Sounds like a great border plan to me. We can do it when Trump wins in 2024.
