Trump: "We will build a great wall and Mexico will pay for it..!"
Nieto: "Uh... no we won't."
Trump: "OK, the American Taxpayers will PAY for it!!! I will make sure it's in the budget"
Dems: "Uh... we're not going to spend their tax money on a stupid wall, sorry."
Trump: "But, I'm the greatest deal maker in the world!"
Dems: "'doesn't look that way to us."
Trump: "FINE! I'll ask my supporters to pay for it then."
...It's ironic how a few months ago the Trump supporters were so sure they were going to get all the laughs and now it seems like the opposite is true. Heck, if I knew we could get someone in to clean up the mess afterward I would say we should just let these people choose the president once every three terms, just for the comic relief. LOL.
I admit, I was concerned for a while that Trump's election could have been disastrous, and in many ways it is, but for the last few months I've been realizing that Trump's shallowness, self-obsession and complete lack of a working agenda makes him about as dangerous as a hand-held sparkler on the 4th of July. And when a right-wing terrorist murdered a young woman in Charlottesville it became clear that the most dangerous part of Trump's presidency isn't his administration but the ignorant bigots that supported him whenever he suggested some form of state-sponsored attack on non-white Americans.
Now, this picture is becoming even more clear now that Trump made that "great" deal with Shummer and Pelosi, where DACA will get support going into Congress and funding for the wall will be put on the shelf. Now the rabid right is turning on the two-bit real estate developer who should never have even tried to be a president of a country.
Ann Coulter, probably one of the most annoying trolls America has ever seen, is infuriated with the moron calling him the worst deal maker ever, this after writing a book about how wonderful Trump is. LOL... Indeed, my feeds are swelling with pissed off statements from the rabid right and for the first time, we are able to see a separation between "blondie" (as my mother calls him) and the seething alt-right and we can now get a better picture of what's going on...
I won't make the same mistake of putting ALL Trump supporters in the same bag, since someone last week pointed out that I was being unfair to those who support him for other reasons besides his anti-immigrant rhetoric (honestly I can't imagine what other reasons there could possibly be but whatever...) So I will just say that considering the responses I've seen from his own base, it would appear that a significant share of Trump supporters are frustrated with his apparent weakness on anti-immigration. It's becoming clear that there really isn't anything else about Trump that they value... They just thought he was going to keep all the immigrants out.
So, here's my message to those people...
It ain't gonna happen. The immigrants are going to keep coming and yes, they are going to change America, hopefully for the better. I see it everyday in the tech industry, which is almost entirely dominated by highly educated and highly motivated immigrants ...and that's nothing new. What we call "American Ingenuity" has ALWAYS been the American commercialization of imported genius... It's part of the melding process that makes America the global leader that it is. To say "Let's make America Great Again" while trying to block out the immigrants is like trying to be healthy by shooting yourself in the head.
