Wow, just wow. Just a few posts earlier I made a comment about how it's sad that people can only focus on childish and sarcastic phrases when talking about Trump without bringing anything that could be a "constructive argument" that can explain to others why they think so. Pretty much as I thought... when it comes to Trump, people immdietly turn their brains off as if scared to actually think about a single reason why they actually dislike Trump aside from those factually incorrect phrases the mainstream media have "installed" into their brains... I am not even saying that Trump doesn't have bad points. I am only saying that the so-called "bad points" people mention here are either baseless, or relying on intentional mis-paraphrasing of Trump's words by the mainstream media. |

Come on guys, you need to see that shit by your eyes at least once in your life. The wall is the only reason why i support Trump for being president. I don't care about the cost, i just, as a canadian, want to see a huge wall once in my life. I don't care about the future generations, it's not like i'll be there anyway. |

Charge the cost to the Mexican drug cartels. They have it. If they don't pay up, invade and bomb the crap out of mexico. Why not. USA can do that kind of thing and does frequently, who would give a shit it's only mexico. Remove burrito. Yes we can. |

JonyJC said: Zefyris said: It's just him being delusional as always. The "Mexico will pay for it" is just proof f how much that guy is living in his own reality. As if Mexico ever agreed to that to begin with. Mexico will pay for it trough economic deals not directly, that's what it means. economic deals that could either -be made anyway since they interest mexico, in which case it means that those 8 billion could have been gained and used for something else. Which means that saying "it will be paid by mexico" is a fallacy. Those 8 billions will be paid by the amùerican government, in other words, by the USA as a whole, not by Mexico. -not interest mexico either way, in which case those 8 billion will have to come from another source. IE, USA's pocket. Oh, look. In each case American are clearly paying the wall. Someone able to use such a blatant fallacy as an argument in his political campaign is clearly taking the citizens for idiots. And coming from someone as dumb as Trump, that's a freaking heavy insult. Thinking of it, that's not the only stupid fallacy we're hearing in that country, and they seems to work fairly well. It's not the gun who kill peoples, it's the people using them" (or something like that). That's not wrong in itself, but when a government uses that logic to NOT legally do anything about the way firearms are being sold and so on, then it becomes really dumb. Because while it's not the gun who kill peoples, it's definitely the USA government which is turning a blind eye to the problem and allowing dangerous peoples to get those guns. In other words, while guns themselves don't have a responsibility in the matter as they are tools, USA 's politics cannot use that same kind of sentence to justify that they won't do anything. Because it doesn't remove THEIR responsibility. Well, I'm not american so it's not my problem. But if Americans votes for someone using that kind of arguments, they will clearly get the president that they deserve. Only problem remaining is that rest of the world is going to suffer from it as well. Well, as a non-american, all I can do is shake my head in how stupid the whole thing is. |

A sad move that has been predictable for a long time as the irrational hatred of immigrants grows and the climate near the equator becomes more unstable, causing more people to want to move north As someone else stated a multi-fence system would probably keep people out just as well and be less expensive, and give a less unfavourable image of the US too ichii_1 said: those savages Dude seriously, they're humans just like you |

Why do so many people get worked up by the wall, when its already been passed long ago? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Fence_Act_of_2006 "The Secure Fence Act of 2006 authorizes the construction of 700 additional miles of the double chain link and barbed wire fences with light and infrared camera poles." Though its "only" 4 billion cheaper than Trumps wall. The fact is a barrier is being built, or meant to be, by the US to keep people from South America out. Its staggering how many people don't know about political events like this..more so when they live in the country. |

During the prohibition period,there was less people drinking alcohol in america compared to before and after. So on that point that was a success. A success. As long as you are short sighted enough to only look at it under that narrow angle, at least. Peoples who want to come live in USA aren't going to magically disappear just because they put a wall. How can USA citizens even think that it's going to solve any of the problem here, that's beyond me. |

Its staggering how many people don't know about political events like this..more so when they live in the country. Well for one thing a fence is not a wall. Its a two walled fence, topped off with armed patrols, IR cameras, movement trackers and razor wire. I think that qualifies as bit as a 'wall" to keep people out, like the early variant of the Berlin Wall. As one poster pointed out it keeps getting defunded, but Trump isn't propossing anything Radical here. Its already a plan lawmakers were okay with and are now using as a deflection tool that works well on the ignorant masses. As they don't want someone who has enough money to NOT NEED being bought off in a position of power. If you want to be worked up over a wall, then the source predates Trump by some time. At the end of the day, Razor wire is as little of a joy to climb over as a stone wall, oxford terms be damned. And all the people with this mass hystery need to reflect on what a President actally can do, at least in the US. But if they did that Free stuff Sanders wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell, and neither would have Obama. |

Donald Trump thinks the majority of Mexican immigrants are rapist and murderers.

He picks fights with random celebrities over social media, and insults anyone who disagrees with him on just about anything.

Vivisect said: Donald Trump thinks the majority of Mexican immigrants are rapist and murderers. He never ever in any shape or form said that. There is a huge and definite difference between "Mexican immigrants" and "illegal Mexican immigrants". Trumps criticism is also actually directed against the Mexican government and not "Mexican people" as a whole. Vivisect said: He intends to ban an entire religious group from immigrating here under the assumption that most of them are terrorists. The same happened to Germans and Japanese too during WW2 times. From what I could gather, back then they were treated much worse than what Trump plans to do to the Muslims now. Also it only affects non-US Muslims. Muslim US citizen will not be affected, otherwise even Obama would be deported, you know... It certainly is not pointless, I mean just look at how Turkey is blackmailing Europe with refugees... then there's also all the stuff that happens in Sweden and Germany, like the case of an ISIS commander just chilling around here in Germany as if it's perfectly natural... and the reason why it happens is EXACTLY because "you can't determine which Muslims are terrorists/criminals/rapists and which are not" so yes, there are indeed reasons to do this, though maybe banning ALL Muslims who aren't citizen may be a little bit too excessive, that I agree. I personally can't think of a reasonable alternative though. Vivisect said: He picks fights with random celebrities over social media, and insults anyone who disagrees with him on just about anything. Trump supposedly wrote a book or an article about business in the past where he said that media attention can be both positive and negative. Then he continued to say that although positive media attention is better for a good personal image, ANY kind of attention is good enough for benefitting business, no matter if it's positive or negative. Now look at the present - he was right! The people behind the media don't seem to like Trump enough to give him positive spotlight and Trump probably didn't want to bribe them either, so he simply provoked the people behind the media and baited the media themselves with lines that would easily get you onto the frontpage of newspaper. He got coverage for free by the people who wanted to bring him down and used it to advance to where he is now on the political stage, winning the caucasus of a whole state by a great margin - though it's a smaller state. Not to mention that he abused the hell out of the fact that PC culture is spreading and until now no one dared to adress it. It's all strategy. You can say whatever you want about Trump. You can call Trump whatever you want - but at the very least you can't call him an idiot. Vivisect said: The only thing that disgusts me more than this bastard are the people that will be voting for him. You were JUST talking about how you dislike Trump insulting people. Now look at yourself. What did you just do? Right, you insulted people - and a whole group at that. Just because that person is a supposed "privileged white male Christian American" it's OK to insult him. And you even insulted people you don't know and assume are "disgusting" simply for having a different view about him. There is one word for that, you know. It's called "hypocrisy". |

It's not really something that can be easily checked - even if it's denied Trump and his people could just find another excuse - even if it's confirmed someone will somehow spin it to make it look like in the end it was still Trump who was responsible for it none of the parties involved here really care about what the truth here is unfortunately, only we, watching on the sidelines, do. |

He should make the wall double that you can walk on and glamorous with watch towers and carvings and wall paintings and gold dust covered bricks etc. Yeah that may make the cost 100 times more BUT just think of the prestige and tourism attraction? He will make the money back that way. Just look at China. They built that wall all those years ago and they are making money for century's now with all the tourist visiting it. They certainly made the money back. I thought a man like Trump will know the value of being glamorous. His disappointing me here. No one will want to see a simple 8 billion wall that will bring nothing until one day it collapses. Simply keeping illegal immigrants outside isn't enough. You have to do it with style. I don't think anyone ever is going to want to visit something that's a part of Donald Trump history anyway lol.

This is what happens when your otp is ripped mercilessly from your heart in a few pages and you don't even know what is going on anymore. |

Hisokath said: "It has not been easy for me... I started in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.." It was money for doing business. For some reason people make it seem like it was about pocket money to spend privately for fun or something. Well I can't say how much a million dollars is in terms of doing real estate business... but AFAIK that's a business field that generally needs quite a bit of starting capital compared to other business fields. Of course it can be considered an "insensitive" comment (though Trump doesn't care about political correctness anyway), because others have to make do with far less. But if we play THAT game we can also say the same about any middle class person talking about "small amounts of money" simply by comparing that person to a poor third world country resident who doesn't even have enough to properly feed his family. |

The insensitive comments are probably why he appeals to a lot of people tbh. Insensitive people appeal to other insensitive people. |
