The rhetoric of a master con artist, who's best days are behind him... He just comes across as stale and predictable.
Your bias is showing.
So, when he claimed "that some people say a wall could drop the crime rate and drug smuggling in the US by 50%"... you think he himself actually believes that?
LOL you dont think it will have any effect? man if it stops 20% it pays for itself in 3-4 years. Hell let him build it give him the funds then when it fails you can use it against him. Except the dems worry it wont fail, and he will use it as an achievement in 2020. It isnt about percentages its all political, and its playing with 800,000 furloughed fed employees on something that would likely work, if not let him do it and fail and you probably recapture the Presidency in 2020.
Nobody thinks it'll stop 100% of illegal immigration.
Well, Donald just claimed the wall could drop crime rate and illegal drug use in the US by 50%... Do you believe that?

If your so sure the scotus will side with him then why do you think he hasn't done it?
I don't think he ever will.

How dare you demand me to watch that!
I shall not and instead I shall prepare some meals for next week....
If you had not demanded such a thing I may have watched.
Jokes on you now!
Ummm...obviously you jest...at no point was a demand made...merely a suggestion that you watch...
But you knew that already...you just wanted to go on record stating your true intent...through obfuscation...of course...without actually stating it...
However...your just not very good at that sort of thing...the hollowness of your attempt...rings...nay...echoes with the reverberations of ineptitude...
Which in my view...is a good thing...it means your psyche tends more toward honesty and not obfuscatory behavior...
Orrrrrrr...your psychotic...
Only you and your Doctor can decide which scenario might be factual...and which fiction...
YouSir
I do not believe that I am psychotic but that is also me being subjective.
In my defense in regards to the user demanding that I watch, just read the title.
The OP title demanded such a thing!
That I will not adhere to.
So instead I will soak some wings and prep some burgers!

It would interesting to see that strategy played out. Businesses stop hiring illegals, in turn greatly reducing that reason of immigration.
Would paint a clearer statistical picture.
You have to wonder why this is never approached as a possibility.

Because he's a business man and the WH dances to the tune of Lobbyists and big agriculture. Cheap labor is a staple of that industry and it's not gonna change. Trump even is going to allow even more ag. workers in.
That goes without saying However, to actually say something about it here...would it not be a big motivator if the public at large knew precisely where all those strings connected, and who's individual feet to scorch over the proverbial open flame?

The big thing that the house is offering to do is pass bills that pay the workers and families and then continue to negotiate the wall.
Mitch wont let those bills get to trumps desk though.

He then said some people have said it could drop by up to 50%. .
So you admit, it was just the rhetoric of a conman, attempting to swayed public opinion?
Why else would he have even said it, when it clearly isn't true?
I admit you just tried to misrepresent a quote for your own partisan purposes and got called out for it. Don't post things you know to be patently false. I'm pretty sure that's against the T&C.

He caved and the right wingers are not happy. He just threw away his hard line base and the 2020 election.
What makes you think this?
The AM radio right wingers wanted a state of emergency and troops on the border.
I believe that the group on the right that want this are very loud but very small.

It wasn't an offer. It was , I will do whats right for these people if you give me what I want.
Human lives should not be played with like this.
This also goes for the entire congress and how our government is playing with it's employees right now.
No one in government is innocent or has the high ground right now.
They all look gross.

Traded a few hundred miles of fence. I thought he was going to build a wall from sea to shiny sea.
