Maybe if your idiot Democrat buddies weren't constantly at odds with the good of American citizens, then they wouldn't have to be "bought".

Quote:Houston needs an Ike Dike or else the next big hurricane will drown the city in seawater from Galveston Bay. Trump needs a Texas/Mexico Wall. Trump could make a deal with Houston's Democratic Congressional delegation to vote for his Wall if he signs for the Ike Dike. Or things can stay as they always have been and nobody gets what they need. It is Trump's choice, not the Democrats'.

We all need the wall.
Your Democrat buddies are holding the good of the country hostage.

Quote:Do we all need the Ike Dike? No. You don't need it. A hurricane in Galveston Bay won't push seawater all the way to your house in Indiana, so you don't want to pay for it. But the way for Houston to get its Ike Dike (that you don't want) is to make a connection inside Trump's head. If Trump gives Houston an Ike Dike, then the Congressional delegation from Houston will give him votes for the Texas/Mexico Wall.

Quote:The measure of a politician’s commitment to a policy isn’t how often he asks for it but how much he’s willing to trade away to get it. By that measure, President Trump has never seemed committed to the border wall.

When Republicans controlled Congress, Democrats accepted Trump's deal: the wall for legalizing the young undocumented immigrants known as DREAMers. “I’ll take a bucket, take bricks, and I’ll start building it myself,” said Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, a Democrat. “We will dirty our hands in order for the DREAMers to have a clean future in America. Then why haven’t we settled this?”
Democrats told Trump to name a price for the southern border wall. Trump said $20 billion in exchange for a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Democrats thought Trump had reached an agreement.
Then Trump let it all fell apart.

OK, Trump made his pitch to the nation. Let's see where the poll numbers go regarding the wall, regarding Trump.

Trump Tells TV Anchors Before Speech That Border Trip Is Just A Photo Op
President Donald Trump told TV news anchors at a lunch before his Oval Office address that his upcoming trip to the border won’t “change a damn thing” and that it’s really just a photo opportunity.

A photo op to please his Trumpets and keep them duped.

At the end of the day, there is literally nothing more banal in American political history than the president having a proposal he can’t get the opposition party to agree to. If every policy standoff ended in a government shutdown, we couldn’t have a country at all.
How will a president manage to deal with an actual national crisis who can’t successfully manage peace and prosperity? Judging by Tuesday’s speech, Trump's ability to handle even problems with a low degree of difficulty is getting worse, as his team is increasingly denuded of people with a modicum of competence.

Something needs to be done about illegal immigration for sure. But Trump's idea of a Wall is a con, plain and simple, and we all know it. I guarantee you every single Republican congress person knows it for what it is. There are so many other things we need to put our efforts into. He got caught promising something he can't deliver like any slimy sales person would.

Trump expands his shutdown this morning in California:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forrest fires that, with proper Forrest Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money!

I think Trump meant Forest rather than For(r)est with two r's. He used the wrong word twice in one tweet.
