He's a con man who preyed on the gullibility of people to get himself elected. He told you what you wanted to hear, and you went for it, hook, line, and sinker. 

 

Actually, I didn't. I didn't vote for him, but now that he won so overwhelmingly, I think he deserves a chance.

SAN DIEGO — The border fence gets no respect.

Drug traffickers have smashed trucks into the barrier, trying to break through.

Coyotes routinely use axes and battery-powered saws to slice the steel mesh.

To borrow Carl Sandburg’s phrase, though, the sneakiest foe comes on little cat feet. “Fog,” said U.S. Border Patrol Officer Wendi Lee. “Fog is the big issue.”

Despite Donald Trump and his campaign manager describing his election victory as a “landslide,” Trump’s margin of victory actually ranks among the closest in the Electoral College.

 

No surprise here. Possibly the most hypocritical and corrupt person ever elected to the Presidency, and this should have been obvious to everyone.

Agreed!  But if he said it'd be a wall, that doesn't mean a fence.  Another back track.  And no, fences don't keep illegals out.  I lived in San Diego for many years.  The fence was a joke.

And, he'll make Mexico pay for it....right.  Gullible voters.

 

The Wall in Israel - which certainly seems to work - is a combination of walls and a multi-layered fence system^.

In what alternate universe did he win "overwhelmingly"? He lost the popular vote by almost three million votes, and as far as the electoral college goes, had a couple close states gone the other way he would've lost that as well. Yes, he won, but "overwhelmingly"? No.

         He particularly likes the 2nd Amendment (his and white supremacists' interpretation of it) when it applies to gun-toting rednecks who will use their guns to to protect him personally.  Trump fans have probably forgotten, but Trump shouted on the stump that 'Perhaps the 2nd Amendment people should take care of her' ....when he referred to HRC.  When there are mass protests against Trump in 2017, don't be surprised when gun toting rednecks infiltrate the crowds and cause harm.  Trump will love the disruption.

You have consistently and solidly supported  him throughout the discussions on T.Visa - for 18 months or so. I predict, the more fatal flaws he manifests, the more you'll dilute your support.  Already you're saying you didn't vote for him.  Hedging your bets, are you?  He's a harmful-for-America scoundrel by any measure.  

 

Anyone who supported Trump before or after the election has a death-wish for the US, whether they realize it or not.

          The bigger fish he will fry? ....hmmm, he and his family will continue to try to amass billions of dollars.  However, they're learning daily how tricky the waters are, now that they're in the limelight.  Their main objective will be to continue to amass tons of money while navigating the tricky waters of public scrutiny. Endless excuses (or silence, when they're caught) will be part of the process.  Additionally, lawsuits will continue to be a mainstay in their arsenal.  Since the election, Trump has sued two Latino cooks, for $10 million each, who worked for him, but quit when they didn't like Trump calling Mexicans rapists.  

 

         Thailand's Thaksin also used big-money lawsuits as a weapon against non-fans of his. He tried suing a 22 year old first year reporter for a newspaper when she published an article which didn't praise him.  The lawsuit was many millions of baht - more than she would make in her entire career.  There is no limit to what a tyrant will do to shut down people who don't praise him.  Thaksin and Trump are like two ugly peas in a rotten pod.  You can add Fil's Duterte to that pod.

How would anyone EVER win an election if they were not a good liar? It worked twice for Obama. It failed for Hillary because people are slowly catching on after eight years of broken promises from the democrats. The citizens are not totally stupid.

306 electoral votes compared to 227 - for a man who almost everyone predicted would lose in a big way - seems pretty overwhelming to me.

Actually, Obama did pretty good with his election promises.  Sometimes, the "system" just blocks you from getting things done.  At least he didn't back track even before taking office! LOL

I wasn't that keen on a wall to start with. A good fence that you cannot hide behind is a better approach.

Trump supporters are not the fastest heads on the field, but eventually even they will realise that they have been conned by a flow of lies from Trump.

 

They'll be mad as a cow and angry like Spanish bull after seeing a red power-tie hanging on Trump's neck. 

 

The question is, can Trump inc direct their anger off from himself and the 'new establishment'.

From the OP:

 

In my book, he knew it was a lie and deceived the American public.  Or should I say suckered them into voting for him?

Soon I'm expecting he'll be  Colonel Trump of the confederacy, famous worldwide for inventing Kentucky fried chicken. There can't be a Saunders thought of for making America great before. He sounds too much like a democratic now.

Wow...you are 'special'. Since you chose to quote it; Only 15% of that fence is actually on the border. The rest is within the West Bank, in some places more than ten miles into the West Bank. 

Of course Mexico will not acquiesce.

 

Some people will believe anything....

He's a conman who doesn't care about the 2nd amendment, abortion or the middle class.  He played all those people like a fiddle.

He really doesn't have to do much. Any improvements from the business as usual establishment will spell progress that will be appreciated. You rabid democrats don't seem to understand that citizens were sick of business as usual with more stupid rules that make government bigger and  justify the politicians existence. If Trump is able to eliminate redundant departments, eliminate silly laws and reduce the size of the government, people will be happy.

Aha...I know, you Trump- admirers are living in a world, where feeling = facts, but...there were MANY victories by Presidential- candidates, that were miles bigger than his.

So if he won overwhelmingly...how would you call their victories!

And don't forget the Popular Vote, which he lost by 3 million votes.

I know: all illegal voters and so on...

"Since winning office, Trump has said he has no intention of pushing for an investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of State or the workings of her family foundation. "It's just not something that I feel very strongly about," he told the New York Times."

 

Good man! 

That was a central point of contention--Trump stated several times that he would prosecute Hillary Clinton for her use of a private e-mail server while serving as secretary of state.  Just another lie on Trump's part; telling the sheep what he thinks they wanted to hear. Why do you think he relies so heavily on the sound bites of social media? I think it is because the majority of his supporters cannot decipher a complex sentence.
