                       Lego should make a special set just for Trump.   It has all the specialty Legos for building a wall, as well as 3 types of people.   There are the border patrol folks.  There are his fan base, all are white, middle-aged and overweight - they're on one side of the wall.  Then there are the brown skinned people on the other side of the wall, wearing big sombreros and eating dog-meat tacos.

 

                  Maybe Trump can get enough satisfaction with his Lego set, so he doesn't have to go and waste $33 billion on a real big wall which won't work.

One approach that does not involve imports was Trump's idea of taxing remittances sent from the US to Mexico. However, that involves a number of constitutional issues sufficient to cause an immediate temporary restraining order by a circuit court.

Another approach that came out of congress is the border adjustment tax on Mexican goods. But its success is complicated, including an assumption that the US dollar would rise 20% in value as more manufacturing jobs are created in the US as a result of the tax. The US would also face lawsuits by WTO member nations and retaliation throughout the world on US imports. http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/27/news/economy/border-adjustment-tax-trump-trump-congress/

Mexico said it's willing to renegotiate NAFTA. Perhaps Trump could explore collaboration first before attempting authoritarian approaches to foreign trade relations.

"One approach that does not involve imports was Trump's idea of taxing remittances sent from the US to Mexico."

 

Doesn't that also mean that Americans are paying for the wall?

100 days in office in fast approaching and Trump has nothing substantial to show for it.  Failure after failure and he is desperate now to be able to show he has achieved something.  Sad, sad loser 

Didn't he get the deckchairs off the beaches and reduce the cost of lottery tickets?  1512043.gif

You got it right.
  T is for Trump and Thaksin
 D is for Democrats
 Trump like the other T is trying to do what must be done for the people of  his country.. His opponents who only care about themselves . Their power,their money,their entitlement.And at the same time say Trump is the bad boy.
 Trump is fighting the established powers. Much the same as the north fighting the south to get rid of slavery. or the common man of Thailand fighting the elite. Not an easy task when the opponents have every thing at their finger tips to make it difficult for him.
 Thailand uses coups, America uses impeachment. I just hope he stands tall and wins for the sake of America and the free world.

100 days and where have all the TVF red-capped ra-ra boys gone?

 

(probably building nuclear bunkers in their mommies back yard)

There is no satisfaction in about being right about Trump.  Yes he is turning out to be the President we all feared he would be but he is still there and that is depressing enough.

Why don't Americans start a mob like those done in Thailand by the Yellow-Shirts comprising mainly of the Thai-Chinese, The Democrats and The Southern Thais that overthrew a democratically-elected government and have  a Military Rule established. Maybe thats the only way to get rid of Trump.  I am sure that in America , there are a lot of poor , uneducated, white trash that should not have the right to vote as they make wrong choices.

It's tempting I'm sure.  In the meanwhile, the trash will have to bend over.

Trumps proposals for tax cuts would give the superwealthy such as himself far bigger cuts on a percentage basis than would go to the middle class.

He did sign one piece of legislation that allows cable companies to sell their subscribers' personal data without their permission.

He is proposing increasing tax loopholes that would benefit real estate developers.

He wants to repeal legislation that stopped banks from doing what they did before the 2007 crash - a crash which resulted in millions of hard working Americans losing their jobs and homes.

He even put a stop to an Obama era proposed regulation that would compel financial advisers to act in the best interests of their clients rather than in the best interests of themselves.

Of course, you are correct.  But there's so much more.  Trump is undoing various Obama policies which would have protected the environment.  And he undid Obama's reg's which would have prevented the mentally ill from obtaining firearms.  And he's appointed nothing but rich insiders to key government posts.  And he's on pace to spend more taxpayer money on vacations in his first year than Obama did in eight years.  And he's presiding over perhaps the least transparent administration ever.  And he insults the courts, journalists, intelligence agencies, scientists...i.e., everyone who disagrees with him.  And he just lies.  Constantly lies.

The wall is OVER.

Mexico will "eventually" pay for the never to be built wall in the same way that trump will "eventually" release his tax returns.

Once a conman, always a conman.

The fault here at this point is with anyone left still willing to be a SUCKER to his cons.

Well, his legislative achievements have been remarkable. He signed a bill allowing cable companies to sell customers' pesonal information despite the fact that 80% of Americans oppose it.

His choice for Supreme Court got approved. Of course, this guy is probably the most anti-worker justice ever appointed to the Supreme Court in modern times.  Go Trump.

cable companies sell info anyway….thats why I'm a cable cutter.

"The Law Of Unintended Consequences"

 

It has occurred  to me that if Mr Trump turns the US into a place people don't want to live anymore (and I believe he's eminently capable of doing just that) those who came north illegally to make a better life for themselves and their families just may decide to go back home.....BUT....they can't get home because....THE WALL!

They do? The same information that the bill just signed by Trump allows?  Are you saying that the bill was entirely pointless?

As for confiscating drug cartels' money...gee why didn't they think of that before? Oh wait, they actually do when they can find it.   So now when they find confiscated drug money instead of just putting it into the general funds, they can credit it to the wall. A triumph of bookkeeping legerdemain but of law enforcement innovation or revenue enhancement, not so much.

It was Trump himself who talked about all the great things he was going to do in the first 100 days.   It's his own symbol.  

 

The man is incapable of leading.   He is a bully and he expects everyone to work with him, while he will work with no one.   

 

His only accomplishments so far are destroying things and for that he uses the military who have no choice but to listen to him and follow his commands.   The rest of us are growing weary of his bullying and bull....    

 

I notice that most of the Trump supporters have given up trying to justify his inability to get anything accomplished.

trump was constantly talking about all the stuff he was going to do, quick and easy, in his first 100 days. Rational people knew he was lying and probably lots of trump voters knew it too. Facts and truth aren't really big with the trump base.

I believe the reason the wall is not standing there proud and paid for by Mexico already is fatigue. 

The man-child, his cabinet and supporters are tired of winning - plain and simple.

Mr. Man-child; please take some time off to play golf. I know you haven't had time to do that yet (unlike that non-American Obama), just like you promised during the campaign.

Still -

While Trump's approval rating stands at 42%, the lowest recorded at this stage of a presidency dating to Dwight Eisenhower, his approval rating among those who cast ballots for him stands at 94%. Asked of those who voted for him whether they regret doing so, only 2% say they do.

It will take a lot more disappointment for Trump to lose his hardcore Republican core supporters.

Flat out delusional gibberish.

 

Just making stuff up.

 

Next?

 

From 2011:

 

"MEXICO CITY — An aggressive U.S.-led effort to pursue money-laundering cases against Mexican cartels is inflicting only fleeting damage on the trafficking organizations, which have grown sensationally rich on drug profits from American consumers."

 

"During the past 11 years, only $16 million tied to suspected Mexican traffickers has been blocked in the United States, or one dollar for every $20,000 estimated by the Congressional Research Service to flow southward from the United States to organized-crime groups in Mexico each year."

 

"Mexican officials complain that the financial intelligence the United States shares with them is of little use, and that the information included in kingpin designations is unsupported by evidence that would allow Mexican courts to go after launderers."
