Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Three people familiar with Congress' tentative border security deal tell The Associated Press that the accord would provide $1.375 billion to build 55 miles of new border barriers.

That's well below the $5.7 billion President Donald Trump demanded to build over 200 miles of wall along the Mexican boundary. The money will be for vertical steel slats called bollards, not a solid wall.

The deal is probably $1.375B for border security, including 55 miles of "barriers". If all of it went to fencing it would be $25M per mile which would, indeed, be Trump's 30' monster.

Ok...any of you Trumpers have the stones to say the following won't happen?:

You pick and choose what you believe will NOT happen. I say it ALL will happen to Trump and to his campaign where noted:

Obstruction of justice

FELONY Campaign Finance law violation

Conspiracy to defraud the United States (could be worded differently or involve bribery or a like charge)

Bank and/or wire fraud

Emoluments clause violation

There will be others too, but I'll leave you with those. Some? None? All?

Trump’s finished; it’s more a question of how many he’ll take with him.

You know when Flagpole starts throwing out a bunch of "brothers" in his posts his blood pressure is through the roof.

Don't have a heart attack on us, brother. lol

Learn math. I'm right about CafePress.

Norpoth does have some credibility. It's possible that he has found a prediction method that is better than polling aggregation.

It's not possible that CafePress has done so. CafePress has just been lucky. CafePress is no better than the octopus that used to predict world cup matches.

This is just another example of how Trumpers will believe anything that supports their worldview.

For the Trumpers complaining about the cost of Mueller's investigation:

Thanks for pointing that out.

Republicans have been helping the tax cheats for years. They have drastically reduced the staff at the IRS, which means we can't collect the estimated $406 billion in unpaid taxes each year. And the tax criminals go unpunished, so they know they can get away with it.

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?

Trump supports the nanny state...for himself. He’s a spoiled baby.

Your candidate choice sucked, Royally! She would have done no better. Only a bias person like yourself is not bright enough to look into her past. Predictors are only silly to you when they don't show your side in a favorable light. You really aren't too bright old man, try to listen more.

"A bias person"?!?

You probably don't realize how retarded that makes you sound.

I understand now. Someone has bias towards another person. Wow, I realize now how retarded I sound. Sorry mate, and yes, Hillary did suck.

Well, brother, since you know what I'm going to say and what I am going to say is RIGHT, then why even bother? You answered your own accusation, brother. I said "if" he released soon. I have never said he would other than before Trump's term is over. I also said then that Trump wouldn't be charged with conspiracy, but now with more information, I believe he will.

How can I be wrong when Mueller's investigation isn't over? Wishful thinking on your part, brother.

Watch and learn...no IFs here:

Mueller IS coming.

The clown IS done.

Ya, Triggered would be a compliment in this case. Don't bring up any of his old weird posts, he doesn't like that now. But if anything that he said ever happened, he'd be pasting them all over this thread....see, I told ya. Flagpole is messed up and knows that none of his claims/predictions will come true. He's got a big flabby gut and is bothered by it. Sad Fat Buckeye.

He's getting some cash for fencing. Looks like a deal that will get done. He'll probably have to sign it or it all goes right back on him. Wall fanatics such as Coulter and Limbaugh won't like it.

" House and Senate negotiators on Monday night agreed “in principle” to provide $1.375 billion for physical barriers at the southwestern border, according to two congressional aides. It is a figure far lower than the $5.7 billion that President Trump had demanded for a border wall."

WINNING!!!!

the thing is, Spanks WANTS the wall fights to continue. He doesn't really want the wall - even he knows it can't be built. He wants the fight, because it revs up the deplorables. So he has incentive not to sign the bill, so the fight keeps going and trump stays in the headlines. He's not in this for America - he's in it for himself, and that will make him do some really awful things, like shut down the gummint for his political gain. Or sell out the nation to foreign players.

Individual-1 doesn't have any good options here.

Option 1: Accept the compromise and declare victory

It's a bad option because it means Individual-1 caves again. He looks like a wimp and his base won't forgive him.

Option 2: Declare national emergency

It's a bad option because it won't hold up in court and the wall won't get built. Again, the base won't forgive him. (Individual-1 doesn't care about the "bad precedent" argument that other Republicans have talked about.)

Option 3: Shut down the government again

It's a bad option because rich people won't be able to get on airplanes. That's the real reason the shutdown ended the first time, and it won't get any better this time.

Option 4: Invade Venezuela

While this might make people forget about the wall, it's a bad option because nobody wants a new war.

The logical choice would be option 2. That one at least has a chance of working.

But Individual-1 might pick Option 3 or 4 because they cause maximum chaos. The chaos could work in his favor as he fights off indictments.

He will say he got money for a "wall" even though he didn't. The Dems will say it's simply fencing, like what was passed last year. So if "fencing" equals "wall" why didn't Trump jump up and down with excitement last year when "fencing" was approved? Because it's not a 'wall'.

he's just going to lie and say the wall was built and his followers will believe it.

Or option 5: Lie, claim the wall was built, and his people will believe it. We're dealing with a level of shameless lying and personality cult that this country has never been even close to before. Other presidents will stop lying when caught doing it...Trump doesn't even acknowledge the concept of "lying." Whatever he says, by his brain, is true, by definition. Or put another way, whatever he says to get votes and money is not lying -it's sales.

We saw last night the banners 'finish the wall.' implying that it is almost done already.

Most likely he'll combine option 5 with Option 6: find some federal bucks in a bucket somewhere and throw it at the wall. A few billion isn't much money to the feds.
