it should have been done 2 years ago I agree.

Politicians make promises all the time. Lies. Are you saying you never noticed this before Trump was elected? Politics is a dirty business. The swamp is deep. Trump has kept more promises that almost any president has.

You guys pretending to be outraged about a 5 billion barrier and Mexico paying for it but can you imagine how the media would freak out if Trump gave Iran 150 billion?

So much to unpack here.

The plank of his campaign was the wall and that it wouldn't cost a thing. He also said he'd fix health care (he said it'd be easy), fix the issues with the VA (also said it'd be easy).

Who gave Iran 150 billion? For starters, the money "given" to them, was theirs and being held because they hadn't reached an agreement on their uranium enrichment. For seconds, it was in the 25-50 billion range. For thirds, a big chunk of it were assets that were held by other countries like China.

He's been offered his wall money (in exchange, and turned it down).

He might have a better leg to stand on (not that the fat f1ck can stand for more than 10 minutes without sweating) had he not said it wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime. He'll get his money eventually, but this is the level of discourse he's championed in. Trump didn't invent it - but he absolutely capitalized on it.

When he controlled everything, he relished being d-bag donnie when dealing with those outside his party (obvious by how he gets a hard on for guys like Putin, Kim Jong Un and Erdogan)

Now, for the first time in his political life, he realizes he doesn't control every lever and he's flailing in the wind.
