    You would need to spend more than 10 times the amount proposed to get what you think Trump's wall will achieve

    No education needed for such simple issues. You think all those Mexicans on top of the wall have university degrees? If they did, Trump would call them "merit based".

    Yes, but Trump supporters need university degrees to figure it out,

    A tractor is highly specialized. Hezbollah loves tractors, although they like tunnels even more.

    Double tap the photo. Those are Israelis on their repair/construction vehicle in the year 2013 on the Sinai Peninsla. Notice the direction that the top section is curved toward.

    Come’on man. At least have honesty to show actual persons attempting to illegally enter Israel.

    I guess they felt compelled to demonstrate to the arabs how easy it is.

    I did not need to tap it LOL. So how come Trump did not propose the same type of fence as used on the Israeli border? It's much less than half the price hmmm could it have something to do with the huge cost in personnel and technology used hmmm. In fact the existing US Mexico border fencing is more of a barrier than the Israeli fence that a "tractor" could go through with ease

    Doubling down on dumbness is not a good idea. And if you had read the article along with the photo you’d know what the Israeli border patrol agents were doing. And if you had initiative and curiosity you would also know what modifications and new construction the Israelis have made on this border barrier due to increased illegal crossings over this previously quiet border starting in 2012.

    You are not interested in the truth. See my post above.

    BTW your dishonesty in posting the above picture as an example of illegals crossing a border fence is disgusting. Have you no integrity ??

    Which bit did I get wrong?
    Has Trump proposed the same design?
    Is the new Israeli Fence less than half the cost of Trump's design?
    Is there a huge Israeli army presence on their Southern border (at huge cost)
    Is there high cost technology incorporated in the defense of the Israeli border?
    Is the existing US/ Mexico wall stronger than the Israeli fencing as I read that none of the existing wall is suitable hence for the proposed new design?

    In fact the first line of defense are the Israeli locals because the government cannot afford to do it

    You represented the people in the photo as illegals attempting to breach the fence. No details were provided.

    Your post of the photo was completely dishonest. That’s getting the entire thing wrong. You have no credibility.

    Firstly, no I didn't. I showed you how easy it is to get a man on top of that fence. Secondly, you've ignored the questions which are:

    Has Trump proposed the same design?
    Is the new Israeli Fence less than half the cost of Trump's design?
    Is there a huge Israeli army presence on their Southern border (at huge cost)
    Is there high cost technology incorporated in the defense of the Israeli border?
    Is the existing US/ Mexico wall stronger than the Israeli fencing as I read that none of the existing wall is suitable hence for the proposed new design?

    You actually have to lie to be convicted of perjury. And it has to be a material lie to meet the "burden of proof".

    That your idiot dear leader couldn't possibly NOT LIE materially says everything about the trumpette mindset.

    Deny the truth. The facts are there. The indictments and sentencing documents are there. The constant lies are documented.

    But I get how you wonder around in a trumpian reality where its all a commie plot.

    And that "lie" could easily be a memory lapse which is what happened to Scooter Libby about a perfectly legal action (disclosing that Valery Plame was a CIA employee which was legal and actually disclosed by Richard Armitage). None of these "lies" in the Mueller Investigation were about anything illegal. There would never have been a perjury conviction without the investigation process. Wake up.
