Yes. Sure it's simple, one only has to take the shit out of one's ear and listen to what candidate Trump repeated over-and-over.
I'd like to see a wall built, no matter who pays for it. However, when folks claim that was what people voted for they're omitting a key component of Trump's complete stance on the matter.
Yea exactly. It didn't make sense to expect anyone to pay for our wall.
But that didn't stop the rubes from believing what Trump said.
See...nobody but twisted, wacko LefTards ever gave two shits about who would pay for the Wall. Most of us can do elementary arithmetic...we know the Wall pays for itself...it’s a no-brainer for third graders....TA-DA!
I would strongly suggest that you go back to this post on this thread and spend more than 2 seconds on it. How does a multi billion dolllar worthless piece of shit wall save us money?
When 30 states handed Trump the White House...they spoke and said they wanted a Wall.
The only way to secure the border is with high tech motion detectors and more border patrol stations. Anything that can be seen, can and will always be compromised. Something that can't be seen won't be attempted. This is something that congressional Democrats offered up the last time they were in discussion over the debt ceiling.
They've already found 240 of these in the San Diego region alone.
Us sane real Americans understand that our attack on illegals won’t stop at the Wall...ALL incentive to invade will be removed...THEN the Wall becomes a symbolic feature there to stay for eternity.
So you want to pay billions of dollars for something that doesn't work, so you can build a "monument?"
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect:
Some believe that many of those who support Donald Trump do so because of ignorance — basically they are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand. When Trump tells them that crime is skyrocketing in the United States, or that the economy is the worst it’s ever been, they simply take his word for it.
The seemingly obvious solution would be to try to reach those people through political ads, expert opinions, and logical arguments that educate with facts. Except none of those things seem to be swaying any Trump supporters from his side, despite great efforts to deliver this information to them directly.
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains that the problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed. This creates a double burden.
Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise. As psychologist David Dunning puts it in an
op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.”
Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb.
Out of immense frustration, some of us may feel the urge to shake a Trump supporter and say, “Hey! Don’t you realize that he’s an idiot?!” No. They don’t. That may be hard to fathom, but that’s the nature of the Dunning-Kruger effect — one’s ignorance is completely invisible to them.

And if one is under the illusion that they have sufficient or even superior knowledge, then they have no reason to defer to anyone else’s judgment. This helps explain why even nonpartisan experts — like military generals and Independent former Mayor of New York/billionaire CEO Michael Bloomberg — as well as some respected Republican politicians, don’t seem to be able to say anything that can change the minds of loyal Trump followers.
