    Trump's official plan "fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall."

    So, uh, now the US is going to pay for that wall and then ask Mexico to "reimburse". GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

    • Also a 2-year mandatory prison sentence for illegal immigrants. Enjoy paying for that, America!nb
    • "a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated."
      HAHHAHAHAH

    • Mexico forgets the $340b increase they receive due to NAFTA? It'll be cheaper to build a wall and reap its benefits as a landmarkomg
    • omg wants a wall ... 'nuff saidmonospaced

    What percent of drugs come from Mexico?
    Federal officials have also estimated that nearly 80-90 percent of illegal drugs entering the United States come from Mexico.

    • as if a $10 billion dollar wall would change a fucking thing ... and by the way, since you're on the whole trump promo thing here, Clinton wants tough bordersmonospaced
    • and if that isn't stupid enough of a solution, what's even more moronic is that anyone on the planet would believe Mexico would pay for it... so fucking stupidmonospaced
    • I have a fleet of drones ready to get my shipments over that shitty warrmoldero
    • Not only would tearing up the NAFTA agreement cost Mexico $340b. America would make more money, build the wall for chump change less than 10% of that.omg
    • Drones are great, because not only will America seize the drugs, but the money too.omg
    • All work and no gak makes Donald a dull boy.face_melter
    • So America is going to create jobs and make money on that wall either way for 4-8 years. Mexico can partake in that opportunity or not....omg
    • ..I have no idea how USA can afford NAFTA unless Mexico pays for that wall.omg
    • Hillary only talks about tough border control, but no plan.omg
    • At least she isn't proposing a ridiculously idiotic solution like building a tall wall that spans thousands of miles.monospaced
    • LOL @ anyone defending that stupid wallmoldero
    • That wall pays for itself in multiple ways. It's create jobs for many people who lost them. And provides and advantage to stop many illegal activities.omg
    • When you think stopping drugs, crime, child and women trafficking on the borders is stupid and ridiculous, then have fun with childish name calling.omg
    • If the wall doesn't work, you can tear it back down to recycle the resources.omg
    • However, if that wall does work, it would be a benefit to both US and Mexico in the lives it saves and protectsomg
    • omgmoldero
    • With the additional tax dollars saved in business, America can raise the minimum wage to higher standards instead of being double taxed.omg
    • Hillary needs to raise taxes. I can't even afford the taxes they impose on me now.omg
    • Jill Stein still needs 5% in votes in order to qualify for $10m campaign dollars for 2020. [Bernie backup.]omg
    • Anyone defending that wall should immediately lose all reason to be listened to. It's political primitivism at its finest.mg33
    • I mean, we all know you're trolling 24/7 omg, and if not with that account with one of your other ones. But you're out of your mind to think a wall makes sense.mg33
    • mg33 if you can do something other than name calling, i'd be glad to listen.omg
    • However the long stated plan protects women and children against crime, drugs and human trafficking.omg
    • At the cost of growing government tremendously, for a party who's base is rabid for smaller government.mg33
    • That's what's so amusing about Trump: deportation force, border construction, border protection, nationally instituted stop and frisk... huge gov growth.mg33
    • And endorsed by a base who want limited fed government.mg33
    • Not once did you talk about the benefits in reducing crime, drugs and human trafficking which also affects business.omg
    • you seem more about government control and political affiliation.omg
    • if your candidate had any plans to consider to prevent such issues, I would love to hear them.omg
    • but if he or she cannot lead, then they should get out of the way.omg
    • Dude... Hillary isn't my candidate. I'm voting for that giant asteroid as a write in!mg33
    • I'll level with you. It's the feasibility of building a wall that is my problem. I agree that a gigantic, impenetrable wall would stop a lot of that stuff.mg33
    • But logistically, it's a ridiculous idea. To my knowledge, there isn't an engineer on earth who is backing the idea.mg33
    • I like write in candidate bernie sanders, but jill stein needs 5% to get campaign money for 2020omg
    • There are plenty of articles out there describing what a challenge it is. Existing sections of border fence are repaired hundreds of times a year.mg33
    • Trump has conned gullible people into buying into the idea of a wall, with zero logistical proof it can/be done, how, etc.mg33
    • he's not selling them inspirational hope or false hope. It's a real solution to solve one of the many growing problems. It's needed protective medicine.omg
    • Well, until I see logistical details, timelines, staff hiring plans, accurate cost, maintenance plans, etc, it's false hope from where I sit.mg33
    • It's not like Trump doesn't have $300B of valued experience in building internationally.omg
    • It's a new OS for the system that's showing massive signs of crashing soon. I'm already seeing it on my end.omg
    • I have a fun fact, over 70% of guns seized in Mexico come from the U.S.sofakingback
    • Whispers, "America is good, America is great"...robotron3k
    • another good reason to have better border protection.omg
    • Dumb fucking Muricans...stop doing drugs and hiring illegal immigrants to do your dirty cheap work. Problem solved without laying a brick for the Drumpf wall.utopian

    How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/1…

    Trump, the piece of shit that his is, exploits every financial angle in an effort to ensure that he and his is covered while fucking over all the little guys. He's not a business builder, he's the kind of Queens NY snake oil bs artist who attempts to appear as a CEO when he's simply pillaging and raping businesses while providing little in return.

    But even as his companies did poorly, Mr. Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.

    • I still find it funny that people pin Islamaphobe on a guy who named and themed around the Taj Mahal a jewel of Muslim art.omg
    • Taj Mahal is a small fragment of Trum'ps business. But mainstream media only mentions the failures like his branded steaks, and universityomg
    • His businesses are 300X more valuable than Hillary Clinton. Taj Mahal was pocket change of $350momg
    • The entire area of Atlantic City was lost, not just Trump. Atlantic City is owned by two people as Trump slid out of the gambling business.omg
    • why do you defend trump so much? bizarre.inteliboy
    • I'd say he's doing the best if any American citizen running for office against the biggest wall of political corruption that the US has ever seen.robotron3k
    • ^omg
    • why are you so quick to jump to Trump's defense, no matter what the angle?monospaced
    • Media is a bully. Evil Hillary vs Trump. You gotta speak up for the little people.omg
    • Oh so reporting facts is bullying? You sensitive, butthurt little snowflake you. Go cry rigged election and other conspiracies if it makes your bubble safer.monospaced
  • oey2

    Seriously now...stopping drugs?!
    Fucking LOL!

    Nothing can stop drugs!
    Drugs can stop you!

    A wall...seriously?
    Fucking LOL!

    Walls don't stop people!
    People stop walls!

    Ridiculous!

    • How you fail to recognize the potential for more jobs IDK. Steel production, construction all comes back to USA.omg
    • It'll just stop or slow down the drugs coming in from Mexico. There is also child and women traffickingomg
    • If your argument is the creation of jobs to justify building a wall then in the future, with growing automatisation there's gonna be lots walls everywhere.oey
    • Mexico benefits in $340b from NAFTA, and it only killed America. We can tear up that trade deal and use 10% on the wall.omg
    • The wall has multiple benefits. Both in an attempt in border security, and an investment to rebuild manufacturing in Americaomg
    • In addition, those jobs can be better paid jobs because the tax reform that allows businesses savings that can afford increasing the minimum wage.omg
    • Drug dealers will adapt. but they'll not be able to use old traditional methods of smuggling. They'll have to resort to submarines and drones.omg
    • okay. you've convinced me. those are good arguments. I don't have any solid contrary arguments to yours.oey
    • Once you bring back manufacturing back to America (thanks to startup wall idea), people will spend their tax savings and the economy will be boostedomg
    • they already do use drones and subs, that wall isn't going to stop shitmoldero
    • The plan should reduce incoming drugs so that people do not think of Mexico as the prime source for drugs and crime.omg
    • And what about the Child and women trafficking over the border? You can't fit them into a drone or submarine.omg
    • The wall is big in protecting women who might be raped 43200 times in four years.omg
    • So that wall will not be a waste.omg
    • rebuild manufacturing? the BS wall is maybe €5-10 billion. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was a $789 billion economic stimuluslowimpakt
    • Depends on how high you want that wall brah. I project the wall at 10% of Mexico's $360b gain from NAFTA.omg
    • The multipurpose wall is more than just jobs, but shields the US and Mexico from traditional smuggling tactics agains drugs and human trafficking.omg
    • The eco-system of Trump's tax reform would gain solid ground to increase minimum wage and stimulate business.omg
    • If Americans want drugs they will find a way to bring them over. Don't be a yuriomgmoron.yuekit
    • Also the idea that you are going to create economic boom by shutting down free trade....I guess this shows the intelligence of your typical Trump supporter.yuekit
    • Show me an example of a country that has prospered by shutting down trade with the rest of the world.yuekit
    • The wall is not stimulus. It's preventive medicine against crime, that creates millions of jobs in many areas.omg
    • Yuekit, how can you deny a plan that makes a big hole of crime and drugs smaller?omg
    • Millions of jobs? Can you link to your source for that claimyuekit
    • Let Mexico decide on the importance of trade and crime with their efforts to support the wall.omg
    • Have you ever been to the border? There is already a wall and pretty heavy security in most places. Turning it into a gold plated Trump wall isn't going toyuekit
    • change anything, it's just a way to rile up the people who don't like Mexicans/yuekit
    • Security on the border is a two-way street as it helps the Mexicans control the corruption derived from drugs and human trafficking.omg
    • http://www.dezeen.co…omg
    • I've seen documentaries on the border. It looked like they needed to patch up some very big holes on the border.omg
    • A lot of drug smuggling actually takes place using boats, so you may need to build a wall along the coast of the U.S. as well.qoob
    • Also Canada. I heard they are bringing that BC bud down in large quantities.qoob
    • oey needs to listen to omg, she knows what she's talking about, my big golden wall will be beautiful!RealDonaldTrump
    • The wall covers the big hole in the center. You need to protect your center first before you angle off into other directionsomg
    • Trump has lack of information concerning bud. I hope to see it legalized in 2020.omg
    • I have 3 friends that are Border Patrol Agents, different divisions too. They all think its a joke. You just can't imagine how difficult it is to control asofakingback
    • boarder that size. Drugs get in every way imaginable. I mean, do you guys ever watch the news??? Do you not see the massive tunnels? A wall is the biggest joke.sofakingback
    • You do realize a fence currently exists right? And you realize a wall wont stop a tunnel or stop drugs coming in from sea and air.sofakingback
    • So you ok with paying for the wall? Ain't gonna be Mexico. You ok with paying more for every single thing that is made here vs. China?formed
    • Most drugs come through by massive shipment. My friends catch them all the time, but one caught 3 go through... its impossible.sofakingback
    • Or how about trade wars? You ok with the destruction that will do to the economy? Or how about that bigly military he wants? You gonna pay for that too?formed
    • Maybe Americans should stop using so many drugs, I don't know. just a thought, next time you light up that joint and listen to your snoopdogg records :Dsofakingback
    • The naivete surrounding the cost of these things is beyond comprehension.formed
    • Its all gonna be paid on credit, he's gonna make a great deal. Then probably file for bankruptcy. it works!!!!sofakingback
    • yupmoldero
    • Don't use my link to back up any of your demented Trump fuckery.face_melter
    • I think the wall needs to serve multiple uses other than being a wall to justify its value so it's not throwing your money away on a big brickomg
    • The preventative war against drugs and human trafficking is a cause worth fighting. Giving up and doing nothing is not a solution.omg
    • If you can't place value on the lives saved, then why be concerned with cost?omg
    • Mexico rolls in $360b thanks to NAFTA. I'm wondering if Mexico would like to continue that agreement because new provisions are needed on the border.omg
    • I also heard Mexico needed more jobs, but it's not going to happen unless you agree to pay for the border.omg
    • Borders don't build themselves and when its done the design and concept would be better made if Mexico and US worked together on them.omg
    • face_melter. that's not your link, I got that from dezeen.omg
    • I can't tell you how ridiculous it sounds to speak of a wall as a solution to anything you're mentioning. Its hilarious. But that in-itself is the perfect...sofakingback
    • example of why we're here. People actual believe it. Even if you're just using the topic to instigate attention. People do believe it.sofakingback
    • Also, the US and mexico recently did a redesign of the san diego boarder entry and it was a massive clusterfuck. the US too 2 years longer than mexico.sofakingback
    • Its funny seeing the contrast of these issue when I actually live here and see whats happening, when I talk to people working on the border. But carry on.sofakingback
    • You act like you're mr. ambassador of walls. Im pretty sure we all know how walls work. I too know folks in law enforcement and the main goal is protection.omg
    • Just because people failed with the Mexican wall in the past, doesn't mean a wall will fail in the future.omg
    • However China had great success with its wall both as border control to control trade and immigration. As well as defensive high ground tactics.omg
    • A modernized wall built today would prevent underground tunneling and include technology enhancements.omg
    • The wall can be a feat of engineering, interior design and architecture. Currently it reeks of prison with communicates negative attitudes.omg
    • ...that communicates negative attitudesomg
    • A do nothing approach will basically do nothing for this country. And it's about to fall apart pretty soonomg
    • So I have no issues for it and see it as one of many additions that can be beneficialomg
    • Ok, heres the difference between me and you. What you said, will never happen. What Ive said, will happen. Watch. mic drop.sofakingback
