. As long as it's enforced, and our border patrol is no longer looked upon as a joke, who cares.Just heard on the radio that on tonight’s 60 Minutes; he says he’s willing to accept a fence instead of a wall in areas of the border. Already retreating from promises…
So when he said “wall” you were thinking people; not a…you know….wall?
I don't think you understand Trump yet... he was full of hyperbole. His campaign was designed to win, and it worked.
I don’t think anyone will reference hyperbole (aka lies) in 4 years. If you look out and not see a wall…you’ll know he failed. It is that simple.
