OK. Then we can differ on his polices, which you like.
I do not think the policy of taking money and assistance out of Central America or putting economic hurting sanctions on Mexico actually helps with the surge of immigration and asylum seekers.
I think his policies exacerbate the immigration issues.
Another one is turning people away at legal ports of entry.
That encourages them to take an illegal route if they really want to come here. That puts more pressure on boarder patrol.
You really like these policies?
Or maybe you can list his specific actions and policies that you do like.
For most I don't believe it has anything to do with policies. It's all about emotion and grand ideas that actually produce anything tangible.
1. The brown folk are taking our jobs!!! Except those jobs won't pay you enough so you'll find another job. At sub 5% unemployment no one is really hurting to go get those jobs they are taking away.
2. MAG A!! Let's close off the country and make stuff here and buy American. AMERICA!!!!! Except you'll typically pay less for the same thing built elsewhere cuz labor costs.
3. The wall! THE FREAKIN WALL!!!! WWWWWAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! Won't make a single dent in illegal immigration.
Look, Nov '16 I really didn't about Trump. I figured he would at least be different and we get to see if a businessman can run the country. I would have voted for Perot in 92 had I been old enough. Trump's firing of Comey and blatant obstruction is what turned me. You just don't act like he has unless you're guilty of something.
But this is what happens in a strictly Red or Blue world where no one compromises.
