"Ho-hum, Trump threatened to close the border again. Trump told a Michigan crowd he.would "close the damn border next week" if Mexico did not do more to stem illegal immigration."
That was written last Friday, one day after Trump made the meaningless threat. The implication of my statement was that, in keeping with "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" principle, Trump would back down. It was only a matter of time.
Trump thought last week was a good time to push for repeal and replace Obamacare.
"Let me tell you exactly what my message is: The Republican party will soon be known as the party of health care," Trump told reporters on Capitol Hill. "You watch."
The Republican failure to deal with health care when they controlled both houses of Congress led to their downfall in the 2018 mid-terms. The lost the House of Representatives, state houses, state legislatures, and held on the Senate by the skin of their teeth despite having 26 to 9 advantage in the races.
In terms of the destruction of his own party, Trump wasn't through. Next, he proclaimed that he intended in shut down the southern border if Mexico didn't comply with his demands. Economics 101 tells us shutting down the border would cause an economic apocalypse.
As expected, Trump is backing down on both issues. This has happened over and over again. A sensible person never takes Trump's threats seriously.
I wrote that on Tuesday. At the same time Trump changed his mind about the public release of Mueller Report.
Facing widespread opposition, Trump backed down Thursday from his threat to close the southern border, instead giving Mexico a “one-year warning.”
After his foolish announcement last week his aides were baffled. The Post, writes "In the days after his tweet, Trump and his senior advisers issued conflicting signals about his intentions, with some aides privately expressing befuddlement over his strategy. The president offered no public details, and aides worked behind-the-scenes to craft a plan that would satisfy Trump but minimize the economic harm."
"Those efforts were rendered moot on Thursday when Trump, in an exchange with reporters at the White House, suddenly shifted gears, saying that if Mexico does not stem the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States within the next year, he will impose first tariffs on cars and then, possibly, close the border."
“We’re going to give them a one-year warning, and if the drugs don’t stop or largely stop, we’re going to put tariffs on Mexico and products, particularly cars,” Trump said. “And if that doesn’t stop the drugs, we close the border.”
Can we believe anything the man says?
So, Trump abandons one threat and issues another.
Who gives a shyt?
This is called Real News you just never heard of that before. You’re welcome

That's very good. Trump's doing the best he can for America, day in and day out. One can't ask for much more than that.
IMO, he's like a rich Truman. He don't care, and he's going to do what he thinks is right, and I appreciate that.
Not sure I think The Donald is all talk and no action on the Illegal Invaders and also closing the American border, the below article releasing more than 100,000 of Illegal Invaders into the American population not the situation if The Donald was serious about stopping these Illegal Invaders and also closing the American border, The Donald is CONTINUING to operate with the SAME Catch And Release that Obama did. The below article says that on current rates by the end of 2019 The Donald will have allowed more than 500,000 - HALF A MILLION - Illegal Invaders to be released into the American population, if so then The Donald ALL talk and NO action and as bad as Obama for supporting the Illegal Invasion of America from Third World Shit Holes.
From Breitbart News investigation:
Trump’s DHS Releases More than 17K Illegal Aliens into U.S. in 12 Days
President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is continuing its mass release of border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the United States, most recently releasing more than 17,000 migrants in less than two weeks.
According to newly obtained data by Breitbart News, DHS released about 17,065 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. between March 21 and April 1, a mere 12-day period. Since December 21, 2018, DHS has released about 125,565 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the country.
The Catch and Release process often entails federal immigration officials busing border crossers into nearby border cities and dropping them off with the promise that they will show up for their immigration and asylum hearings, sometimes years later. The overwhelming majority of border crossers and illegal aliens are never deported from the country once they are released into the U.S.
Since December 21, 2018, DHS has released:
In the last 12 days, DHS released nearly 6,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the San Antonio area, alone, forcing American communities to absorb the influx of soaring illegal immigration levels at the U.S.-Mexico border.
- 12,745 border crossers into the San Diego, California area
- 22,000 border crossers into the Phoenix, Arizona area
- 37,500 border crossers into the El Paso, Texas area
- 53,320 border crossers into the San Antonio, Texas area
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been tasked with releasing border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S., ICE officials have confirmed, under the direction of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting ICE Director Ron Vitiello.
The Catch and Release policy has strained ICE resources, forcing fewer arrests of illegal aliens living in the interior of the country in recent months.
At current rates, DHS is on track to release about 500,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. by the end of this year. The mass release of border crossers has coincided with a surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, where about one to 1.5 million illegal aliens, in total, could arrive in the U.S. this year at current projections.

This is a big problem.
In 2020 The Donald needs his Base to vote for him again if not he is fucked and he knows that. His Base needs to let him know how angry and disappointed they are with him, he reads Twitter etc so that is the way to tell him that IF he does not stop his continuing with Obama's Catch And Release of Illegal Invaders and also IF he does NOT do something as he said about that DACA thing and IF he does NOT either close the America border OR STFU about how he is going to close it - the THIRD time The Donald has said he is going to close that border and the THIRD time he is backing out of closing that border - then his Base in 2020 is NOT going to vote for him they will stay at home on election day.
It is no use The Donald doing x,y,z GREAT things for the American Economy and other situations IF he is allowing all these Third World Shit Holers into America who in 10,15 years time WILL be given the proceeds of whatever The Donald is doing and the American workers will get ZERO. It is also no use if in 2020 and 2024 many of the Illegal Invaders The Donald is allowing in are going to get to VOTE in American elections because they are NOT going to vote Republican they are going to vote Democrat.
