    Use your brain, many ways for Mexico to pay for the wall with a stroke of the pen.

    So if he gives something to Mexico in the NAFTA renegotiating, then that will still mean that the US are paying for the wall! Going further, your post means that Mexico will make a profit from the wall off the US population over the years. What a great plan by Trump lol - "here I'll give you $100B over the next ten years if you pay $30B for the wall"

    No. I'm not. Since the majority of the wall already exists, what exactly does this new wall do beyond waste my money (and yours) and appeal to people who were mislead into thinking we didn't already HAVE a wall.

    Never*

    *Before Trump.

    Much like the US never* elected someone with zero political or military experience to be President.

    Mexico is still upset about having to pay for the wall.

    Real bummer they can't control their bad hombres. Las Cabos is now added to the State Department warning list of areas where travel is becoming too dangerous and innocent vacationing Americans can quickly be in danger even in the resort and beach areas!

    First of all, young babies and old people probably won't be able to hop it, and they certainly won't be able to simply drive across like they did before.

    When I was living in El Paso my boss told me a story how he went 4-wheeling one day and unknowingly ended up in Mexico, there was nothing at the location he was at to stop an off road vehicle from driving into the country. And a wall tells people on the other side we mean business, it might discourage people who are on the fence about coming over. But the best thing about the wall is that once it's up it can't be defunded, it's there forever.

    The war on drugs was a big job creator. Some people have become multimillionaires because of it.

    Nice. I like that. Sort of like Al Gore declaring war on the ignorant Warmies? Lots of ways to make a buck these days.

    No. We need CNN to tell us what to think. After all, it's their mission and they claim to know best. :eek:

    Honesty and morals from a us president or politician in general ? Thats a good one. Havent seen a honest one in decades, but atleast trump is fairly open about what he does compared to previous one
    Must be why us and eu where holding trade talks under obama in secret because nobody in the eu was allowed to know what was in it.

    Are you trying to imply that negotiation through twitter or the news is the way of keeping the people informed?

    And even if you are trying to make such an implication, no. Multi-national trade agreements should not be made in the public realm. They are far too complex.
