Will He Get The Wall ..

[cassa333]

The Democrates will be going hell for leather to get this overturned.

Will Trump get his wall?

Look at the Democrates as 1 hypocrites and 2 just a bit like remainextremists. (I lost but will do and try anything to get my own way)

When's he going to start building it though ??

[jim360]

Well, in any case this particular use of emergency powers is bound to be challenged, and it's not even out of the question that Congress will quash Trump's attempt to use his Presidential powers in this way. A lot will depend on the Republicans, though -- to override any possible veto powers you need 2/3 of both Houses of Congress to vote that way.

It's a reckless and stupid move from Trump. In US Politics in particular, consensus is key, and he has none; to try and force something through that is so unpopular is certain to backfire spectacularly.

He should have consulted you, Jim.

HereIam, there is already about 600 miles of barrier built under previous administrations. Trump wants to extend that.

// He should have consulted you, Jim. //

Although your suggestion may not be entirely serious, it is certainly clear that Trump is seriously bad at taking advice unless it simply parrots back what he wants to hear in the first place. So maybe he shouldn't have consulted *me*, but he could certainly do with paying more attention to people who disagree with him.

[naomi24]

Jim, if he found a cure for cancer he'd be wrong in your eyes. You're not his greatest fan. We know that.

Thanks naomi x

[naomi24]

hereIam, You're welcome. Trump wasn't the first with the idea. :o)

//to try and force something through that is so unpopular...//

Why is it so unpopular, might you ask?

As those who favour illegal immigration usually point out that walls don't work, then why force a government shut-down for a mere 5billion.? It would cause extra inconveniencefor the illegal immigrant, for sure, but the extra costs incurred could be covered by setting up a wall and tunnel fund.

[jim360]

He's not going to find a cure for cancer, though, is he?

Also, while we're at it, did you not notice the Venezuela thread?

[vetuste_ennemi]

ladder and tunnel fund.

Let’s say you promised to build a wall and that you would fund that wall. Moreover you start to build that wall.

Then, horror of horrors you lose the power to carry on building the wall. The people who got you out of power and themselves in (who you are not affiliated to) can now build that wall, made a great thing about finishing building the wall you wanted, agreed to fund and had started to build.

What do you do?

Do you go great well done for finishing the wall we also wanted?

Or do you do an about vault over the wall and demand the hateful wall is smashed down and not funded and block at every opportunity?

There is a difference between being against something because you believe it to be wrong and being against it simply because someone you don’t like will do it.

[naomi24]

Would be good if he did.

No, I didn't notice that, Jim. Was I supposed to?

[naomi24]

Cassa, //There is a difference between being against something because you believe it to be wrong and being against it simply because someone you don’t like will do it.

Spot on!

[jim360]

It might have helped if you had before you mentioned your "Trump can do nothing right in your eyes, Jim" line, is all.

oh dear Nigh at full belt again - but hey this IS AB !

I suppose Trump has called for advice as he has predicted that he will get sued. I thought he was wrong when he said that he would win

[cassa333]

Remainextremists is a direct nod to Brextremist that the good and the great so love to use to portray those that simply want a proper Brexit.

[naomi24]

Ah, I see. Well done Jim!! But frankly you'd have looked pretty silly if you'd said he was wrong, eh?

[naomi24]

And here comes PP - and that's AB in full swing. Good evening PP.

[agchristie]

Why doesn't Trump set up a website for donations? Only those who send money can have any access to the mighty construction.

More commonly known as a paywall arrangement :-)

[fender62]

agchristiem, we should have a massive organised repatriation of illegals in the uk, including all the jihadists and criminals, ah but we do not know where thye came from..love that old chestnut, i bet you.
