The democrat position in favor of illegals over Americans is anti-American and shows their true colors. Screw the taxpaying American. $5 billion is a rounding error in a $4 TRILLION economy. Dems need the vote of illegals to exist. Trump will win in the long run and get the wall for the American people, not the invaders.

Hogwash.

 

The Dems hold no such position.

 

There is however recorded and publicly transmitted evidence of Trump acting in favour of foreign governments and against the US.

 

Get your denial glasses on, the New Year is bringing nothing but bad news.... for Illiberals.

A way with you and your nonsense.

So trump is being protected by people who are not getting paid?

You're referring to the Secret Service. There is probably some exclusion for them and they are still getting paid, but you gotta ask yourself: who in the hell would take a bullet for this piece of work.

According to the POTUS  most if not all believe in protecting my country!! God Bless the republic . questions and answers begin at 21:00

The sick truth behind this is Trump already knows he’s beaten, he is simple responding to rightwing cable TV and talk radio shows.

 

His Presidency, his children, his business interests are all under criminal investigation, his response is to set fire to anything and everything in the hope of distracting his base from the ugly truth headed their way.

Trump speaks and despite mountains of evidence of his continual lies, you believe him.

 

Worse still you expect the rest of us to join you in your delusion.

 

No. Not going to happen.

What a load of rubbish.

 

The only person risking  the safety and prosperity of millions is Trump.

 

HE ordered the government shutdown in the same way that any dictator does when he can't have his own way.

 

Due to his own stupidity he has just alienated a few million voters just before Christmas.

Many members are sooo brainwashed.

“Who’s getting fired? Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a government shutdown?” she asked Trump, who had called in to the program.

“If you say who gets fired it always has to be the top,” Trump responded.  “Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader. He’s got to get everyone in a room and he’s gotta lead. But he doesn’t do that,”

Trump swears an oath and you believe he feels in the slightest bit bound by it?!

 

Go watch the news video of him siding with Putin against America.

 

Take your denial glasses off before doing so.

Putting good people in hardship, this is Trump's way. Trump claimed the over 400,00 federal workers who had a grim Christmas with no pay and the 400,000 others in jeopardy of such that they support his shutdown! 

 

Quote

My husband is active duty Coast Guard. Everyone thinks the military is getting paid during the shutdown, but the Coast Guard is facing no pay on the 1st due to being DHS and not DoD. We live in NYC, pay over $2K/month in rent, have a toddler and one on the way.

Just like here on thaivisa.com there are many places in the USA where one risks being shouted down for accidentally saying something positive about Trump.

So many, if not most, just support Trump and his wise policies quietly.

Some people were excusing him on the grounds that he was making them money. Now that the stock market has reversed any gains , what exactly is there to say positively about Trump ?

If one is a Trump hater then he owns the shutdown. If one thinks there is a need for fixing the border situation then it's the Dems who are being obstinate for not funding. With the Dems it's a political ploy. 60,000 are caught crossing the border illegally each month and it seems no one has a decent idea how to fix the problem.  Congress is a total bunch of incompetent morons who can't work to get something done because of politics. It's really all about election results not fixing the problems. In reality no one outside Washington DC gives a hoot about the shutdown.  Workers historically continue to work and get paid when the shutdown ends. Not really something to panic about.

This shutdown is about Trump's ego.   I don't know any people who are for open borders -- I know a few far-out-there people may support it, but geo-political borders are a reality.

 

The question is how to secure the border.   A wall will not do it.   Certainly, parts of the border can benefit from more secure infrastructure, but large stretches of the border either can't support a wall or run through territory where a wall would cause extreme hardship.    Walls have to be guarded.   

 

We have everything from heat sensors, drones and other methods to enhance security along the border.   Trump, however, won't/doesn't listen.   His interest is in himself.   The one who won't negotiate is Trump.

I think the laid off workers who are losing pay care very much. Trump had a deal , then backtracked because some of his more vocal base objected , he is an utter tool.

You quote his 42% approval rating as if that sounds good to you, you do realise that the only president to have a lower approval rating at this point in his term was Truman, right?

I feel he is doing the right thing here. 

  He is showing the country how little the Dems care about their own country. The Dems will shut the government down to get their way. They are hurting none other than themselves. People want the wall so opposing it and making these problems will not stand well with the people. Selfish only care for their party Dems will get hurt the most from this.

  I hope Trump sticks to is guns and does not back down in any way .

 

The Dems haven't shut down anything, Trump has, and he is now hurting himself, the only thing that he could claim, albeit falsly, was that the stock market was doing well because of him, now even that is not doing well, so now he has nothing at all.

No, workers did not historically continue to work, 850,000 people did not work last time, and thousands never got paid, the lower end workers, the cleaners, maintainence people and security did not get their back pay, so do stop making things up.

I answered your question,every President protects America,they swear a oath to protect it! Read about America's History,to see who and what! If you continue to have questions save it for the correct thread! This is about the POTUS wanting to shutdown the Gov to get funding for a border wall to help protect America from illegals , foreign invasion, terrorist and drugs!
