the beauty of this particular instance of trump's bullshite is that there's no math to be done. there's not even any math that can be done on it. usmca doesn't save the government or even the economy anything material. certainly not billions (which itself isn't even material to the government or economy)

I find it funny that the same side who wants less taxes, more free enterprise and less government interference wants a wall which will cost more tax dollars, give the government more power and takes away free enterprises way of dealing with this issue.


Do you think the Trump supporters here are representatives of people who want less taxes, more enterprises and less government interference??

I must have the wrong impression from my months of lurking. I have seen the people on this board support everything Mr. Trump proposes including prosecuting private business they disagree with, imposing tariffs on American consumer in the name of protectionism, massive increases in government spending on the military and farm welfare and even the establishment of new government agencies like the Space Force and the IDFC (a foreign aid bureaucracy he supported starting with $60 billion.)

You know it just dawned on me the foreign aid President Trump intends on giving away with this new agency would build the wall. I wonder if he plans on offering the democrats a deal to scrape the IDFC and use the money on the wall??

Okay. Of the billions collected by our government, please tell me specifically where that money is going? I mean since we know it's not going to pay for the wall, where is it going?

Let me answer for you. It's not specifically targeted for anything. All we have to do is have Congress allocate the money for the wall.

The French translation is kinda vague, as in many cases.

But it’s pretty close to....

“You’re a stupid fricking a-hole.”

Keep in mind, this is not an exact translation.

How do you know? You did the math?

You've basically expanded your first post, just a big fat assertion.

I thought the President tweeted Mexico was paying for the wall.

I am confused.

mostly because i understand its major provisions. if you did the same, you'd understand that they're so superficial that your question is meaningless

Why would you say something like that about the President?? Is it because of his vague tweet that seems to be unfounded? Well unfounded might be an unfair word to use. Perhaps his tweet can be specifically explained by a better read audience than we have here.

Yes. I wonder why he didn't tweet that??? Maybe he can end his new foreign aid bureaucracy he created too. He should tweet those things.

Do you think he believes his avid followers will believe anything???

you could try familiarizing yourself with the actual provisions of the (unratified) usmca agreement, and seeing if you can think of any provision there that might make the claim untrue

I say we fly a couple billion in US cash and foreign currency on pallets in cargo planes to be dropped in the darkness of night to pay for it. If that’s good enough to fund the world’s #1 sponsor of terrorism then surely it’s good enough to fund a wall for border security.

No. He is not stupid despite some of his tweets and statements.

DJT making rash statements and being often a pompous arse is about as big a story as the sun coming up tomorrow.

But it keeps getting brought up like a "gotcha" every single day.
