Fake it 'til you break it -- A False Presidency and a Fantasy Wall

Now that the Supreme Court has determined that Mexico - as in “Mexico will pay for the wall” - is located in the Defense Department’s budget, it’s time to consider Trump’s “wall.”

Trump's wall is as fake as his understanding of the presidency.

His wall is as fake as his marriages.

His wall is as fake as his love for Don Junior, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron.

His wall is as fake as his comb-over.

His wall is as fake as his conservatism.

His wall is as fake as his religious beliefs.

His wall is as fake as his golf handicap.

His wall is as fake as the top 10 floor numbers of Trump Tower

Need I say more? Okay…

His wall is as fake as his patriotism.

His wall is as fake as his skin color...

Add your own.

Trump's Coming Non-existent National Emergency to Fund his Wall

At Trump’s February 5^th State of the Union address, he said “In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall, but the proper wall never got built. I will get it built…simply put, walls work and walls save lives,” But saying walls work and walls save lives is like saying ‘life vests work and life vests save lives’, so is everyone supposed to now wear a life preserver whenever they go outside, and especially if they cross a bridge or walk next to a lake? Did the Great Wall in China keep out the plundering hordes from the north - which was its intended purpose? Did the Maginot Line in France keep out Germany in 1940? If you want to get Biblical, did the walls at Jericho protect them from Joshua’s army?

Trump claimed ownership for the shutdown in his Jan. 31st Oval Office press conference, “If I didn’t do the shutdown, people wouldn’t know — they wouldn’t understand the subject. Now they understand the subject. They realize what a humanitarian crisis it is.” The shutdown was an educational opportunity for Trump to help Americans understand what a humanitarian he was by drawing attention to his manufactured emergency subject ---> Mexico hasn’t held up their end of Trump’s campaign promise so Trump decided it is only right that Americans should come up with the Border Wall money instead! Maybe somewhere, somehow, some way, someday, Mexico might reimburse us, who knows? This stupid semantics game needs to end. The issue is not about ‘border security’ even though that’s how Trump and the GOP try to frame it. The issue is about who pays for Trump's big beautiful wall.

Not one U.S. penny should be spent on a wall Trump boasted, bragged, and guaranteed his crowds that Mexico would pay for…gladly.

Still, Trump has used the past few days sugar-coating the fresh fecal material that he was feeding his base after losing the government shutdown confrontation. The ‘president’ then insinuated he’d won…

…by issuing a threat.

“If we don’t get a fair deal from Congress, (‘fair deal’ means you give me what I want) the government will either shut down on Feb. 15, again, or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and Constitution of the United States to address this emergency,” Trump said Friday.

Dammit, one of you reporters should have immediately asked him to cite where in the Constitution he is granted those powers. It’s guaranteed he wouldn’t have been able to do it. (It’s in Article II.)

But there is no emergency.

None.

He is shouting “fire” in a crowded theater where there is no fire.

Trump even states he is "prepared to shut down the government again if my demands aren’t met.” Does this sound like a negotiator or a Mafia boss? So once again the nation's safety has to be put at great risk, government functions grind to a halt, and federal employees are forced to go without paychecks because no one is giving in to the demands of the petulant five-year-old-acting president. Trump frequently sounds like a child arguing with his mother.

The fact that Trump doesn’t recognize the emergency right now, or at any time during the 35-day shutdown, attests to the lack of a crisis.

This past record-breaking shutdown was entirely based on a campaign promise Trump couldn’t keep. It was done by Trump to placate his bruised ego.

The Congressional Budget Office released a report showing Trump’s shutdown cost taxpayers an additional $11 billion tacked on to the federal deficit. Think about what we COULD have used that money for.

With all this Trump-induced chaos, one has to wonder what we’re going to miss if Trump declares his National Emergency. We’ve been so distracted by the daily Trump-inflicted wounds on America that we’ve lost sight on what’s going on in the Middle East, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. This distraction has only helped our adversaries. They can see what is happening across the nation and they are taking full advantage of it. We’re going to pay a lot for that negligence down the road.

And it’s all because of Trump.

President Trump - Please Remember Your Promises to Us



Dear President Trump,

          You made many, many promises and guarantees while campaigning for the highest office in the land and you have succeeded beyond just about everyone’s wildest expectations. You are now my president too and all who voted for you expect you to honor every one of those promises. I don’t want you to forget what you told us you would do, many times "on day one", or  "as soon as I'm elected", so I have kept a list of things you repeated to crowds all over the U.S. These are certainly not all of your promises, but it is a good start…so here we go:

Mr. President, how soon will you repeal the Affordable Care Act, or "ObamaCare", and replace it with your better program? You guaranteed this at virtually every rally so please don't let us down on this one as we're counting on you to toss it ALL out.

How soon can we expect a Special Prosecutor to look into Hillary Clinton’s lies and email scandal and see to it she is jailed? Even if Obama's last executive order is pardoning her, don't let her off the hook. "LOCK HER UP" means exactly that.

How soon will the wall along the Mexican border go up, and how will the Mexicans be forced to pay for it?

How soon will you start hiring Americans to begin building that wall from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean? How much will they be paid per hour...on average? What kind of wall will it be - the type of materials used, its length, width, height, will it be electrified, how deep will it go...etc.?

How soon can you begin deporting all 11 to 12 million undocumented workers and illegal immigrants including small children who were born here?

How soon will you hire the huge number of agents that will be needed to search for, arrest, and deport them? In what will they be deported...truck, train, boat, airplane...etc.? Where will they be held until deportation? Will they be provided with any medical care, water or food while waiting? How will that be paid for?

How soon will we see your “great economic plan”. And when can we expect to “double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world”? (Which you said on national TV on 11/09/16, the day after you were elected.)

How soon will you release your tax records so we are finally treated to proof you are as rich and successful as you have continually reminded us you are?

How soon can we expect you to reform the Veterans Administration?

How soon will the ban on Muslims entering the U.S.be put into effect?

You have said repeatedly that when you become president “ISIS...GONE!” and that you have a plan to get rid of them. Then you said once you became president, your generals will have 30 days to come up with a plan (why do they need 30 days when you already have a plan?). What is your timeline for ISIS to be “GONE”? Will you commit to using U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to engage in combat wherever ISIS fighters are located?

How soon will you scrap NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Pact and renegotiate the treaties?

How soon can we expect you to impose up to 35% higher tariffs on Chinese and Mexican goods dumped on our markets, all while keeping the deficit in check?.

How soon will you cut the taxes on the wealthy and on businesses?

How soon will you overhaul the Tax Code as you guaranteed at most rallies?

How soon will the U.S. withdraw from any agreement that tries to curtail climate change?

How soon will you tear up the Iran/nuclear deal and renegotiate it?

How soon will we renegotiate our military agreement with NATO?

How soon can you start to fix the nation’s roads, waterways and railroad infrastructure?

How soon before we can finally see some curtailment of the First Amendment by changing the libel laws, making it easier to sue someone?

Will you immediately strengthen the Second Amendment so that no one, now or in the future, can take any of our guns away or weaken what kind of firearms, clips and ammo we can own?

How soon will you appoint Supreme Court Justices who will overturn same sex marriage and Roe v Wade? And as an added bonus, how soon will you establish a punishment for women who have an abortion?

How soon will you implement a program to fix the inner cities where you said African-Americans suffer from 50% jobless rates, failing schools, and crime so rampant people are afraid to leave their homes?

How soon will our CIA and military be allowed to use torture, waterboarding, carpet bombing…and, as you put it, “much worse”, again?

How soon will we be able to pursue and kill the families of terrorists in foreign countries? What kind of standing army will we need to carry that out and prevent retaliatory attacks on the U.S. or American families overseas?

How soon will you force China, Mexico, India, Vietnam and other places you said have taken our jobs, to return them to us?

You said you were going to be the “Law & Order” president. What will that mean? How much will the police forces grow? How will those additional officers be paid with so many taxes being cut?

As your spokesman Dan Scavino Jr. tweeted on October 25, 2016 “Watch what happens to her after the election”, how soon can we expect Megyn Kelly to be removed from Fox News? What WILL happen to her?

We’d love to have a time line so we know how quickly we will see our nation returning to its perceived lost Greatness.

 

Thanks.

P.S. Is it now acceptable that if I see an attractive woman, I can grab her by the pussy? We discuss this frequently in the locker room, and since your wife grabs her own, surely it's permissible, correct?
