It is difficult to understand how so many right wingers can't realize what a charlatan Trump really is and how this huckster has been able to fool so many.......Please bear in mind that, as a left leaning voter, NOTHING pleases me more than to have Trump as the GOP nominee...or even "better", Trump as a 3rd party candidate.
However, anyone with half a brain should realize that what Trump is spewing is unadulterated bullshit.......
Trump calls for a 2,000 mile massive wall to be built on our southern border.....and any nitwit should realize that walls are never an effective way to guard anything......From the Great Wall in China, to the Berlin Wall, history has shown that they basically do little...and for us to truly hold back Latino immigrant immigration would be to seriously punish those businesses that thrive because of such an influx.
Trump boasts that he would collect some huge amount from Mexico for every illegal alien....but has anyone heard HOW he would do this??? Declare war on Mexico for non-payment?
Trump calls for China and Japan to stop flooding the US with cheaper products that cause unemployment is the states...Has anyone heard exactly HOW this charlatan would accomplish this?
Trump boasts that he "knows" how to defeat ISIS, but would obly tell us once he is elected.....and ONLY idiots would take his word for it.
Bottom line is this: Trump is strictly comical entertainment and those who honestly support this idiot have now become part of the joke.
Good post. However, there are some inherent flaws in your reasoning.
First, on immigration. We have had both establishment Republican politicians and Democrat politicians who told the public they would address this issue. The public KNOWS they are all liars. The people who bankroll Republican politicians want illegals to work cheap in their industries, so Republicans do nothing. The Democrats want the illegals because their constituents are related, and also they use the social services that will be enlarged by the influx of illegals. Those social services will need more workers and thus more voters, thus, they have no intention of doing anything. So does it really matter if building a wall will work? Voters don't care, it is DOING SOMETHING. And it brings jobs, paying jobs, to lower income and middle income Americans. If they can find the money for social services and multi-billion dollar war toys, they can find the money.
As far as getting money from Mexico? Trump has proclaimed himself ostensibly a protectionist. We haven't had a protectionist in office in over a century. We have had nothing but globalists. Seriously. None of the politicians that get elected give a damn about America's environment, citizens, or it's economy. So the money seems to be gotten from import duties. I think he also intends to heavily tax funds sent out of the country back to foreign families by illegals. Not sure. But given the drug cartels sending drugs into the country, yeah, I think there is a slight possibility he intends to intervene in Mexican politics and drug interdiction. Who knows. But I think he is sick of their shit.
As far as the Asian question goes, yes, he has stated over and over again, that this TPP shit Hillary negotiated was crap. The trade deals that the globalists negotiate are good for multi-national corporations only, they are not good for the nation. We are getting our ass handed to us in negotiations. He would end that shit immediately. Or at least that is what he says he would do.
And as far a your bottom line goes, you are right, he is comical. A clown at best, just like Obama is. Everyone realizes that DC is a damned circus. So it's one big reality show, you get the best clown you can get. The thing voters don't realize is that, like patrons at a circus, they don't actually have any say who chooses the clown, the ring master and the investors in the circus do. So don't worry your pretty little head over it. This clown would have people looking at the wrong rings, the investors and the ring master wouldn't like that. They will be picking a different clown. You will still get to enjoy your circus.
