Why are people okay with broken campaign promises?

that was before corruption became the focal point. There are bigger targets right now.

Melt bitch

I expect ACA repealed and replaced in first 100 days.

I expect the wall to begin construction within the first 2 years of his presidency.

Im with you..

Build it to the moon

A lot of people didn't vote for him because of a wall. In an effort for a "GOTCHYA!" post, you're stereotyping all Trump voters as agreeing with every single one of his philosophies.

TL/DR: Gotchya posts are annoying, and you should feel bad.

Why in the hell would I be melting? I voted for Trump, dumbass. If you read my posts I made fun of Trump personally very little. I did troll the shite out of the dumbass contingent of his base...and will continue to

All the posts about the wall and Mexico paying for it have me wondering why people are already preemptively making excuses for Trump not meeting all his promises? I thought Trump supporters wanted change from business as usual? Isn't saying one thing to get elected then not following thru what Washington has been doing that pissed everyone off?

Why are people already saying they don't want a real wall and forcing Mexico to pay for it was a pipe dream?

I just posted this on another board. This is about the wall.

I don't think his Mexican wall will happen. He came in hard and will probably end up settling with amnesty. I can see Mexico agreeing to protecting it's own southern border as the majority of all immigrants crossing illegally now are central American (which makes it even stupider to demand Mexico for payment when they aren't the majority anymore)

Actually can easily happen and can easily be funded. Billions of dollars are wired back to Mexico via Western Union. We can tax money being wired out of the country. Trust me, we wire money to and from Brazil and try to avoid it at all costs. Taxes are very high on wire transfers. 40% tax coming from Brazil to U.S. unless against an invoice for goods.

Also, the fees for tourism & business visas can be raised for people coming in from Mexico. Of course, they will reciprocate and visas will rise for U.S. visitors to Mexico. Most countries reciprocate visa fees based on what the U.S. charges. Of course using visa fees it is most likely U.S. visitors to Mexico that will pick up a large portion of the wall.

There are numerous ways to pay for a wall outside of U.S. taxpayer dollars and spending bills.

I think Trump missed out on a great reason for the wall as a benefit to Mexico is another level of stopping drug smuggling. Right now people cross the border in convoys carrying enormous bales of drugs. Just so easy. A wall... whether a real wall, a wall of enhanced border monitoring, or more agents in remote areas makes smuggling that much harder. Not so easy to get drugs in. Right now every cartel in South America is coming in and establishing a presence along the Mexican border because of smuggling. Put a big dent in this and cartels and crime along the border decreases. They are there because it is so easy right now to do business in the U.S.

Mexico put a wall up on it's southern border because of criminals coming in. Not because of people wanting to get to the U.S. There problem is that a lot of the criminals come in and stay. Some also come to the U.S.

Election was Tuesday, bitch. Give him a minute.

What's funny is that trump has been critical of NAFTA. Mexico's economy could flounder if NAFTA falls apart, which would make it even more enticing for illegals to cross the border.

We're stuck in a paradox of trying to prevent jobs from leaving for Mexico while also preventing Mexicans from illegally seeking work in the US.

Surprised nobody talks about how difficult it will be to accomplish these two things.
