So...how many of you read what he said??? Or read past the first paragraph? 1 of you?
Here again is just more evidence of just how inept Donal Trump is...
What is his proposal? Do any of you know? Does he even know?
He campaigned on a 2,000 mile wall of tall concrete. Now he is all over the place....is it steel...concrete...does it cover the length of the southern border or just portions...
What is it's purpose? To keep people out was his original stated goal. Now it is to keep out drugs in general (which it will obviously fail at because drugs are not coming in in large quantities on the backs of immigrants)....keep out fentynal in specific (which will fail because fentynal comes from China thru ports and on planes...not on the backs on immigrants)...to keep out terrorists (though it has been pretty well shown terrorist infiltration from the south is not an issue)
If Trump possessed and actual sales skills or governing ability he would have clearly articulated his actual idea by now. But he hasn't because he just isn't qualified for the job he has.
BTW...Steny Hoyer is pretty clearly offering an opportunity in the couple of quotes above. Trump won't follow thru because he is too tone deaf to hear it and too blind to see it.
Hoyer says it will work in some places...so Trump sits down with them and they agree where it would work. Trump gets portions built and the govt is reopened...not that hard to see...unless you are incompetent.
See, there's this thing you can do. Where you agree with one thing a person says when you think they are correct, but disagree with another thing they say when you think they are wrong. As long as those two things are not identical, that's okay. You can think a 2,000 foot long concrete barrier is silly, but also think that doesn't mean that any barrier anywhere is an immoral thing.
Also, he can be right that most illegals are not packing 40 kilos on their backs. But he can be wrong that a barrier stopping "regular" illegals wont affect the drug runners, who use a lot of the same routes. and, here's a funny thing. If 2,000 CBP agents currently work non-drug related illegals, and I cut the numbers of those illegals by 50%, guess what, just maybe I can use those other 1,000 CBP folks to, I dunno, maybe CHASE DRUG SMUGGLERS?!!!!!!!
Also, Steny can offer all the things he wants, but as long as Queen Nancy keeps screaming NO MONEY FOR A WALL", and as noted, she's great at keeping her party in line, then Steny can look good without having to actually put up.
