So how obvious is it that the stupid wall is never getting built.

100% and it always was. It also doesn't matter. He can erect something like this in Nogales, AZ

And then proclaim that they're not aware of a single illegal immigrant who has been able to cross undetected and his base will cheer that ****.

In his first 100 days, Donald Trump has burnished his reputation as the most fact challenged politician in history,.

 

President Trump’s first 100 days: The fact check tally

 
 

President Trump is the most fact-challenged politician that The Fact Checker has ever encountered. He earned 59 Four-Pinocchio ratings during his campaign as president. Since then, he’s earned 16 more Four-Pinocchio ratings.

But those numbers obscure the fact that the pace and volume of the president’s misstatements means that we cannot possibly keep up. The president’s speeches and interviews are so chock full of false and misleading claims that The Fact Checker often must resort to roundups that offer a brief summary of the facts that the president has gotten wrong.

 

So here are the numbers for the president’s first 100 days.

488: The number of false or misleading claims made by the president. That’s an average of 4.9 claims a day.
10: Number of days without a single false claim. (On six of those days, the president golfed at a Trump property.)
4: Number of days with 20 or more false claims. (Feb. 16, Feb. 28, March 20 and April 21.) He made 19 false claims on April 29, his 100th day, though we did not include his interview with “Face the Nation,” since that aired April 30.

...

Many [politicians] will drop a false claim after it has been deemed false. But Trump just repeats the same claim over and over.

In particular, the president repeatedly took credit for events or business decisions that happened before he took the oath of office — or had even been elected.

Among those business decisions Donald Trump falsely claimed credit for:

- $1 billion investment by Fiat/Chrysler - (due to talks with unions in 2015)

- $1 billion GM investment (in works for a long time)

- 10,000 WalMart jobs (added in October)

- 10,000 jobs created by Intel (announced originally in 2011)

- 1 million planned jobs by Chinese e-company Alibaba (a plan outlined in 2015)

- $25 billion investment by Charter Communications (in the works since 2015)

-  big investment by Japanese company Softbank (announced three weeks before the U.S. election)

 

One of his biggest, most repeated lies in this genre of his lying portfolio is that he personally  negotiated a $725 million cut in price of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. But Lockheed had already planned the cost reductions, saying and announced them in December, before any meeting that Trump had with the company. The Air Force’s budget had already accounted for the cut in price.

Don't be angry. Get involved in electing politicians who are educated and get it that they are our employees, not some privileged group to transfer wealth from the 99%ers to the 1%ers. Not to mention his heading up the change of our Republic into a dictatorship.

 

Trump's tax plan is the largest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in human history. Well, except for what Putin is doing over there in Russia.

James Madison vigorously opposed the war and did everything he could to prevent it, but he was too busy inventing the telephone to negotiate a peace treaty.

"People don't ask that question, but why was there the Civil War?" 

 

Trump asks the best questions, tremendous questions. Nobody's ever asked "why?" with regard to the Civil War. Certainly not something part of the curriculum of every American high school. No books on the topic, either. Every day there's a new reason to be floored by the President's brilliance.

Is it ignorance?  Is it malice?

 

If he honestly doesn't understand the reasons (/reason) for the Civil War, that's a problem.

 

But whether through ignorance or malice Trump lends credence to those who keep up the myth that it was a war of northern aggression and had little to do with slavery.  That is a major problem.

If Hamilton wouldn't have been so preoccupied with inventing the blender this ugliness could have been avoided.
