There have been several threads made that support Trumps plans and I always ask the OP if they actually believe that Trump will follow through on what he claims he will do.

All those threads where I have asked only once has someone answered yes or no. All the others including this one they talk around the subject avoiding a real answer.

I can only speculate as to why that is.

The scary version is that YES, I believe that Trump will definitely TRY and follow through with what he's said he will do.

Fortunately, there are a lot of reasons why he won't be able to achieve most of what he's saying in his political platform.

This is the problem - those reasons why he can't do this exist in today's world, and most of his supporters are low information voters that don't realize that he can't possibly deliver on most of what he's saying he'll do.

I spoke about his follow through in the OP.

Your right about a lot of things but there isn't 10 pages worth of jobs or apprenticeships for plumbing available or all of these electrician jobs everyone always talking about anymore.

Then someone is not looking hard enough. Plumbers Local #24 has apprenticeships available to people who can pass an aptitude test and a physical. This is in my area, I found many more locals doing the same thing across the country.

Millennials think it's 'cool' to be social media stars..or coders/programmers.

A large portion don't want to work. How many can actually prep a wall and actually PAINT? Or use a nail gun? Or repair a painting frame correctly (good money)

I mean, I see Millennials out walking around doing SQUAT on a Monday morning here. Seems they would rather make YouTube accounts and be "Pick Up Artists" or watch PUA stuff all day, with no funds and no good car.

Or they watch porn and have ZERO game with women, zero real life application of the stuff that's flooding them on social media. They have ZERO testosterone because they don't move, they drink, they sit all day...and their closest relation with women is their hand.

So WTF??

Men? What happened to men?

Nonsense it doesn't matter what they are saying send an 18 year old kid in there who doesn't know anyone working for one of the union companies who have to actually sponsor you into the union by hirin you and have him get hired.

Go for it!

Those union jobs are fantastic and an amazing opportunity and everyone who's blue collar knows it and wants those jobs.

Personally I don't think believes his own BS because he is supposedly a fairly smart guy. If he does have the intelligence he claims then he must be able to recognize the obvious flaws others do.

Umm what about all the alleged tech jobs and programming jobs everyone is always talking about why are Millenials having such a hard time getting these allegedly high paying jobs?

Is that so? Did you just call Local #24 and ask them or is this something you just made up? If you bothered to click on the link it shows that joining does not require a sponsorship.

Go for it!

I have a career.

He must be good at something and he for sure understands the power of leverage.

I like that.

I know what it takes to join a union I'm speaking from experience.

You have no idea what your talking about.

An industry flooded with Filipinos and Indians who code coming out of the womb, and can do the work remotely from their home town for $3.00 an hour USD, and which there are literally MILLIONS.

Sounds legit!! LOL Now THAT is an industry to get into...wonk wonk

Sorry...sarcasm

I already know that I know programmers with degrees from UCSB who make 17$ an hour.

Haha I am always laughing when I hear that.

My other programmer friend got laid off from Disney and got replaced by an Indian at half the cost.

Is that so? I think I will take their word on it since the union makes it clear that a sponsorship is not one of the requirements.

That's a pretty broad statement.

Just because we hear a lot of complaining from people who don't get jobs, it doesn't mean they are qualified. Nor does it mean that those who are more qualified are not getting jobs. Competition is tough.

Do you know how the union works?

The union doesn't profit off of the jobs. The companies who hire the union workers do. If one of those companies won't hire you you don't get to work.

Did you know that? The union just represents the tradesmen.

Yes, I have been in two.

What does that have to do with your bogus claim that there are no apprenticeships?

Sure it would be effective...but, it would also be incredibly barbaric and immoral. Why even propose it? I guess I just don't get your point

My point was: It's an effective strategy anyone of a business mind (like Trump) would see. Proposing the construction of a wall is utterly preposterous. I would therefore identify Trump as a disingenuous candidate for the GOP. However, like any decent business strategy, there's a Course of Action B and a Course of Action C. He simply hasn't let those cats out of the bag yet. Taking us back to the 5th century BCE is rather unlikely.

He is good at lot of things.

He knows how to entertain and part a fool with his money, hence the casinos.
