Trump's wall is a big contract with lots of slush to be funneled into offshore accounts. Because Americans are asleep, they didn't notice that the country was taken over in 2016. Yes it was very close for a long time, but 2016, they got it! The whole country. Trump is just an actor, playing President. He is far too crazy and stupid to have done even a small part of the things that have been done to destroy the country. It really is all known and very clear, but the subversive propaganda makes it seem very unclear. The USA was taken over by a criminal cabal that is destroying the country. Not one thing has been done about Trump. He is not a President. He is an agent of the Plutocracy destroying the country. Trump has declared a fake national emergency, and nothing will be done about it. But it really says the country is unable to take care of itself and must be rescued by our hero, Trump. Trump has taken over the country, dictator for life, and no one will do anything about it.
Trump's wall is another Israel 1st project. The top two contractors will be Israeli MAGAL and Elbit…do your homework people. Trump smears Illhan Omar for pointing out a truth on AIPAC, after he hires a Regional Director of AIPAC Michael Grassner to run his 2020 campaign… wow.
Trump is a serial liar. Trump and his administration are inept and criminal!
Who is really afraid.?
Isn't a boarder wall a social program too?
The wall is the most powerful indicator that US imperialism is falling rapidly, The ruling class needs protection to go after its own people. This class tries to make the USA a large prison managed by the private sector.
Not trump not hilary vote bernie
All that money for walls free health care would be far better
Israel has the contract to build your wall, America. Good luck with that, you're going to need it.
Commission building the wall🕵ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ’µ
Wtf America 🤔ðŸ’💨💨
Trump keeps flashing the white power sign.
Holly Walls, peace be upon them. Death to the enemies of the walls and Distinctions between identities.
Borders need no justification or categorization to exist freely. YOU need to justify YOUR effort to "kill & eat" the borders/people.
Don't deny walls access to dignified life. Don't be xenophobes
Borders are PEOPLE
You bet it’s a symbol. And if you hate white people (75% of Americans) this much you’re welcome to leave, I don’t see any ropes restricting you. You certainly don’t expect 200 million Americans to leave, do you? Lol 😂
Trump failed to mention that the Representative of the Texas 23rd congressional district which includes El Paso where he spoke from OPPOSES his wall. And he's a Republican.
Regulation is a business. Perpetual Wars are a business. Slavery through taxation is what this is all about…
slavery through taxation to get the money to build the wall. Slavery through taxation to pay people to protect the Border. Slavery through taxation to maintain the wall for long after Trump is out of office.
and Trump is a real estate developer. Like there's no conflict of interest here? LMAO. You expect me to believe that he doesn't have stock investments in every type of business that will support the production of this wall?
The stupid have overpopulated the planet. It's fucking disgusting.
meanwhile socio-economic problems around the world is what needs to be addressed. A wall isn't going to fix anything.
Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall Wall
Child trafficking, drugs, gangs, parents putting children in danger…all breaking the LAW, while others wait years to come here LEGALLY. LEGALLY. The wall is a symbol of a great country that everyone wants to come to, but happens to border a country that is happy to let this go on. There's endless hours of Dems saying what I just said, but it's Trump so he's racist Hahahaha. It's happening, so get over it. This is what we voted for..and oh yeah, no Russian collision, how about that…he won by the will of the people. Better luck next time. That's how democracy works…try a better candidate LOL.
The stupidest President in American history
Are you crazy?
I blame Polosi and Schumer for not protecting the border, both are selfish, both don't care about ' we the people ' they want the illegal for votes on the next election….shame on them.
Why would you say far right…. bill clinton called for a wall, Barack Obama called fora wall, Hilary Clinton called for a wall. What kinda misleading title is that???
Public Display Of Xenophobia.
