I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I’ve already built.
On the wall, we were dealing with a very difficult Congress and I said, “Oh, that’s OK. We won’t go to Congress.” I call it an “invasion.” We gave our military almost $800 billion. I said, “I’m going to take a little of that money, because this is an ‘invasion.’” And we built — Most of the wall is already built, and we built it through using the funds, because what’s more, what’s better than that? We have to stop the invasion into our country that’s killing hundreds of thousands of people a year. We’re not going to let that happen.

Do voters believe that? Does Trump believe it? If you repeat a lie enough times, does it become true?
Trump fortified or improved 402 miles of existing border wall and built 52 miles of new border wall. The border is 2,000 miles. Far less than half of the border has any fencing. Trump's wall is definitely not mostly built, as the claimed, and he advanced it very little during his time in office. Mexico did not pay for any of it.
I think the media is too exhausted with Trump's lies to call them all out. Biden is not up to the task of pointing out the lies.
He probably will finish the wall and it makes sense that some of our defense budget could be used for it. The wall is not important though. What is important is to stop illegal immigration through sound policy, leadership, and the will to act on the issue. I believe Trump will secure the border because he faced that challenge of an invasion in his first term, and successfully decreased by yuge numbers illegal immigration into our country.Quote:

Facts are he inherited an inflation rate of 1.4% and it peaked to 9.1% in June 2022. Answer these same questions when it’s not Trump.Quote:

Wasn't it shaft who said at some point that bitcoin/crypto is his single voter issue?
His butthurt will end up being his single voter issue in November, but still :rofl:
It's sad that some attendees at the convention cut off the tip of their right ears so that they could wear a bandage matching Trump's. I bet Certain People in this forum did it too.Quote:
By the following day, a small cadre of Trump’s most loyal supporters had begun sporting makeshift bandages on their right ears — in sympathy and support for Trump, several bandage-clad delegates explained.
