Presidents Don’t Build Walls

Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second

As soon as a philosophy begins to believe in itself, it always creates the world in its own image. It cannot do otherwise. -Friedrich Nietzsche-

I’m sure he’d repeat that if he were asked about the “facts” and figures Trump’s arguments rely on to prop them up like a false front on a movie set. Illegal immigration costs us 113 billion a year? That’s a made-up figure. How much of US crime is the result of illegal immigration? Spin the wheel, but you’re unlikely to get a trustworthy number that doesn’t originate in some Republican funded office in some dark basement. Welcome to Trump World. Just like Disneyland but where the mice goose step in the streets.

In the real world the president can’t build walls. He doesn’t have the authority or the money. In the real world, it might take 20 or 30 or more years to deport 11 million people. It would take more manpower than we could assemble in one term, more money than we have and you’d have to trash the Bill of Rights a bit more than we already have, due process being what it is.

Hardly anyone thinks the wall is buildible or would be effective or that condemning thousands of miles of private property wouldn’t take more billions and decades. Whole towns would have to be moved and it would have to be patrolled 24/7 by tens of thousands of troops – at least.

But no, it will be on “day one” says the pathological liar and would-be dictator, at least it will be in Trump World. In the United States of America? Not so much.

Well anyone with any intelligence knows this. However, then you have the others who support Donald Trump.
