Doubt folk will go around that, nor through, nor under.

The US has a big problem with immigration. If Trump fails expect to see the real far right start to get a grip. A lot of people re sick to the back teeth of ft wing libs

A bit like the Maginot Line?

2 miles erected by Trump - very impressive. Not quite as impressive as the 700 miles erected by Obama.

[Gromit]

// some 700 miles of border fencing had already been completed along the country's nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico, much of it during Barack Obama's presidency, as part of the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was signed by George W. Bush. //

so it's a cross party project gromit. So when you were ridiculing the whole idea a while back you were in fact ridiculing St Barry of Obama!

[Gromit]

I didn’t ridicule the wall/fence tora. This is what I wrote nearly 2 years ago...

// It might be started, but never finished. Trump will get bored of the project, and his Government won't want to waste vast amounts of money on it. Progress will be slow, and then stop.
09:47 Wed 25th Jan 2017 //

Which is exactly what has happened.

It will be long - Fail.
It will be beautiful - Fail.
Mexico wil pay - Fail.

[ToraToraTora]

yes but that was Trump after the work had already started by Bush/Obama.

were there any protests then, or is it just President Trump thats getting all the grief and abuse over it.

[emmie]

not going to happen, too costly for one thing.

Obama's bit is fine, but Trump's is nasty, racist, protectionist, ugly and anything else his detractors can think of.

[Khandro]

//It will be long - Fail.// But it's only the start of its execution
//It will be beautiful - Fail.// Better than Berlin's, but walls aren't really noted for beauty.
//Mexico will pay - Fail.// Mexico is already paying out of the new trade deal arrangements.

[andy-hughes]

Khandro - // //It will be long - Fail.// But it's only the start of its execution //

But it's still not completed after the election two years ago, so its hardly the major project Trump promised if he was elected.

//It will be beautiful - Fail.// Better than Berlin's, but walls aren't really noted for beauty. //

Indeed they're not, but no-one would seriously suggest that any border wall is going to be anything approaching 'beautiful' - except Candidate Trump running off at the mouth, and spouting nonsense, as usual.


//Mexico will pay - Fail.// Mexico is already paying out of the new trade deal arrangements. //

That is America choosing to use received funds to build tiny sections of wall, which in no way equates with the promise that 'Mexico will pay for it … ' - and clearly, by any sensible analysis, they are not paying for it at all, anymore than any other of the US's trading partners. Do you imagine China think they are paying? Or Saudi Arabia???? I doubt it!!

Keep twisting simple facts to suit your message Khandro - Trump does it every single day, so you are in good company.

[Khandro]

//But it's still not completed after the election two years ago, so its hardly the major project Trump promised if he was elected//.

He didn't promise to complete the wall to this date - how could he ? it's a major construction project, now under way and it will be completed.

The US economy is saving money by new fiscal arrangements with Mexico so, of course, that can be a contribution to anything, including wall-building

It is beautiful not aesthetically but functionally.

Your urgent need to justify the nonsense that spouts from Trump's mouth and keyboard on a daily basis gives you a gargantuan task, and the fervour with which you approach it is mystifying in the extreme.

But it makes you happy, you carry right on, and I will carry on laughing at his messages, and your meaningless defence of them, caused by reasons I cannot being to fathom.

Why is 2/3rd of the previous post again just a tourette's syndrome like repetition?
Tip.
If you have anything to say for gawd' sake start at the end.

You do realise that has ruined the thread for many and will have put pay to them contributing?

Trump promised to plug the 1300 miles gap in the border defences with a big beautiful wall. He has completed 2 miles in 2 years.
At that pace, the beautiful wall [rusting ugly fence] will be completed in 1298 years time. Or the middle of the next millenium.
