The job creation angle makes some kind of sense, I suppose. But I woulod argue, building public shithouses for the same amount of money would create more value.

We've already got plenty of those, many already have Trumps name on them. That's why trump needs so many lawyers, to keep the squatters out of his empty buildings long enough to launder russian money.

It's like Marco Rubio said. "We're a nation of haves and soon-to-haves."

RESEARCH YOU MORONS!!!
No Wonder you lost this race! You all get your info 3 or 4th hand!
Goto the Horse and look in his mouth for yourself! You have the interwebs learn to friggen use it once and a while...
This is why I know you guys are NOT looking for proof of God. You only want proof to support what you already think. This is a perfect example of that. Trump has drafted a detailed proposal detailing everything he is going to do starting day 1 and going day by day to build this wall..
But Nooooo, you'd all rather stand in a circle wanking your yankers by rallying behind some youtube douche's commentary.. Seriously ROB VALUE Posts crap like this on youtube!! that in of itself should be a reason to never trust one of those aholes.
Think about it... what if IDK HE'S WRONG, And He Did Not Do Any Research Himself???

LOL, sold a bill of goods, in the most literal sense. There will be no wall, Drich. Either get used to it or do something about it. Your call.
What's this bullshit about god doing here, feel like you might need to mention him, draw down his support or something? You're probably right...it's going to take a heaping helping of godsauce for you to get what you wanted out of trump.

Manowar
When asked if he still planned a special prosecutor for Hillary, he claimed he hadn't really thought about it.
When asked about health coverage, he said he would keep the pre-existing-condition and young-people-living-at-home on their parents' coverage. If he approved that, then he almost has to approve most of the rest of the ACA which is needed to cover the pre-existing conditions.
The wall was demoted to a fence.
He chose the head of the RNC as his chief of staff. As one of his former staffers put it, he claimed he was going to drain the swamp, but just hired the head alligator.
When Hillary mentioned Dimon as a possible Treasury Sec. Trump called him the worst banker in America who should be nowhere near government. Guess who he's considering for Treasury Sec?
I wonder how long it will take the "true believers" to realized they've been duped by their fearless leader?

That's a great video. I watched it when it was first aired, then again a few days ago. Then I heard Trump demoted the wall to a fence.
“The problem with those who choose received Authority over fact and logic is how they choose which part of Authority to obey. The Bible famously contradicts itself at many points (I have never understood why any Christian would choose the Old Testament over the New), and the Koran can be read as a wonderfully compassionate and humanistic document. Which suggests that the problem of fundamentalism lies not with authority, but with ourselves.” ~Molly Ivins

it's my impression and suspicion the Mexican prez is getting a bit nervous.
You never know, the art of the deal thing, Trump might announce a deal; working with Mexico, yada yada yada, billion here, billion there, take so many violent illegals back, throw in some increased drug patrols, and a win-win, or at least something Trump might be able to sell as a win.
We'd know differently, of course . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
