Paranoid President

[Canary42]

Trump seems to be a classic paranoid case. A wall constructed in Texas is already decaying so he claims it was done deliberately to make him look bad.

More likely done on the cheap to make a quick buck.

The man is obviously mentally challenged, don't mock.

its not trumps wall, its George Bush's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Fence_Act_of_2006

[Gromit]

Most of the 200 miles of wall/fence that Trump has actually delivered upon was replacing old Bush structures. Hardly any new barrier has gone up in 4 years.
If the new stuff is falling down, Sue the contractor don’t whinge about it on ***.

A link would be good.

Obama built a large chunk of the wall anyway. As did Clinton Bush and Bush. Not sure why Trump alone is associated with it

Trump's Wall - ///In 2016, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed building a border wall "as high as 55 feet" along the U.S.–Mexican border, making the pledge the centerpiece of his campaign.Trump's proposed wall—which he said would consist of 2,000 miles "of hardened concrete, and ... rebar, and steel" across the entire southern border would be much more extensive than the fencing built under the 2006 act. On January 25, 2017, days after taking office, Trump issued Executive Order 13767, directing construction of a U.S. border wall. However, the wall was not constructed as Congress has not appropriated the funds to build it. Experts doubt that the border wall proposed by Trump would actually significantly reduce illegal immigration, or have any benefits commensurate with the anticipated high cost of construction, estimated to be billions of dollars. Trump’s demand for Congress to appropriate $5.7 billion for the wall resulted in the 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown, which lasted for 35 days. /// Wiki

You should read Don Winslow’s Mexican drug cartel trilogy. That brings home the true asininity if even thinking of building a wall along the entire border between the US and Mexico

[gulliver1]

Trump has made 20,000 misleading or false statements since Taking office.
Wonder how many Boris has made?.

[douglas9401]

Priti Patel is quoted as 'a hundred and twelveteen', gulliver.

[Gromit]

In a massive piece of irony, Mexican citizens were last week blocking the border highways into their country from the USA with tractors, lorries and coaches. Keeping the Corona infected grinos out.

[gulliver1]

" gringos" ?

[youngmafbog]

Ah, another lefty anti Trump love in with the usual in attendance.

Doubly ironic, given the virus is also rampant in Mexico

[gingejbee]

@7.17....Ah, another righty pro-Trump bunch jump to his defence, as usual.

[douglas9401]

Doubly ironic as the home of Corona.

// More likely done on the cheap to make a quick buck.//

of course has been done before

when the levees were breached in New Orleans - they werent overtopped - metre sections were pushed like a rebate ( or like a row of shields and one man steps forward ) - lock door being broken
and that was because the filling of the dyke was skimped when they were built (1935 I think)

[Peter Pedant]

// Not sure why Trump alone is associated with it//
because he made an election issue out of it
'I am gonna build a great beautiful warl"
along with the usual outrageous aside
"and make the mexicans pay for it"

Jesus there should be a law against making jerky remarks on AB me auld chyne

[Peter Pedant]

well I was looking for los tractores bloquean las carreteras
and came p with

Tenía 2 años, una enfermedad cardiovascular previa y vivía en Huimanguillo (Tabasco). Desde entonces, otros 73 mexicanos menores de 14 años han fallecido a consecuencia del coronavirus. En EE UU se han registrado 35 decesos de niños de cero a 14 años, según los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), y en España, 3 en este mismo grupo de edad, según el Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

kids under 14 have started dying in Mehico - 73 compared to 35 USA and 2 in SPain - and piffle in the UK

sozza back to Latino forrin - that wd be Latino lingo innit? only because it vexes

[Peter Pedant]

erm can only find tractores bloquean las carreteras
coz the campesinos think that the govt is dismantling the agroindustry sector

oh and they were revolting May 25 and blocking roads from estados aledanos ( neighbouring states esp Guatemally) because of Covid

[tomus42]

Trump is mentally deranged. Anyone still in denial about that needs to have a word with themselves.

[fender62]

trump will get re-elected, the democrats support the blm marxists
or give lip service to it, let alone defund the police, americans hate communism, and there's lot's of anarchy going on over there, protests burning looting murders, americans like continuity, no break down of law and order, biden looks like he's been pumped full of formaldehyde.
