If you'd listened to Trump at his rallies you'd realize we're losing "billions and billions of dollars" to Mexico every year through the trade deficit. So all he needs to do is stop losing that money to Mexico and then Trump will have all the money he needs to build the wall. Make's perfect sense if you don't know what a trade deficit is.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Solitary is considered torture because it drives people insane. Social isolation is psychologically devastating to the point that the rest of the world considers solitary confinement to be a level of torture you just don't do. There are also all sorts of other punishments you can get if you refuse the prison slave labor. Things like not being eligible for parole by some strange mystery I don't know how that happened! or extra time. Some prisons even charge you for being there so if you can't pay you have to work buuuuuuuut it just so happens that the only job available to you, as a prisoner, is $1.25/hour work for whoever is paying the prison this week. This isn't making the US prison system sound very appealing.

Inferior Third Season posted:Didn't you hear? We're just fronting the cash, and will be reimbursed by Mexico later. Four years from now Mexico will still not have given a single peso (obviously) and the costs will have blown out by orders of magnitude due to graft but the GOP will still be able to spin it as a win by framing the cost as money rightfully owed to REAL AMERICANS that the treasonous Dems would let THOSE PEOPLE just walk away with. As long as you can constantly deflect your own massive, humiliating failings onto your enemy, failure is actually an asset. And because the soul of the American voter is an open sewer, it will probably work.

So suck it up Mexicans, the ghosts don't lie.

Hate to play retard's advocate here, but I feel like this is not gonna shock Trump supports very much. Many of them are probably satisfied with paying for it, as long as it gets done and consider all that Mexico bullying to be just the cherry on top. Also, many people don't see a difference between Mexico paying up front or getting billed later and won't see this as Trump breaking his promise. In 8 years, Trump will still be "negotiating" with Mexico and his promise will still not be considered broken. I feel like he is gonna come out this totally clean.

Unless by "drain the swamp" he meant "drain it, and then fill it even more with the same exact kind of poo poo, if not worse." So yeah, there really is no convincing some people. I just wonder how much longer they'll keep blaming Obama for everything.

What he needs to stay on good terms with isn't his cult. He will never, ever lose his cult. Who he needs to stay on good terms with is literally everybody else. His cult is a pretty small minority and everybody else already hates him. His approval rating is at historic lows going in to his presidency and he hasn't even taken office yet. There are even rumblings in the outskirts of his cult as white supremacists are disappointed that he isn't being as racist as promised while die hard Tea Party crazies are upset he won't actually be going after Hillary.

Uggghhh, I just realized. They're gonna blame all of this on the next (D) president. It's going to be their fault that all of this fell on the taxpayers*, because an (R) definitely would have finally managed to convice Mexico to pay the US back. *when they accept that the money is gone and continually antagonizing your closest neighbors for no reason is full retard "diplomacy"

Nobody is actually going to care that he pays for the wall with US money. They're either going to be satisfied that there's a wall, or never have cared in the first place. He'll escape the grim spectre of defeat by claiming he got some kind of (non-monetary) concession from Mexico for it later.

I'm kind of hoping that Trump builds the wall. Mainly so that it could be blown up/sabotaged and never completed. Why? Because X Trillion dollars is worth it if Trump voters can have a visual referance for their stupidity in the future. A big, broken, blackened, smoking Trump analog that will be the bulwark of his legacy.

By the way, I don't think we are going to pay for the wall. Looking at the gasolinazo, inflation and the way the country is crashing and burning right now, I don't think we could ever be able to pay for that. Besides, with the current exchange rate, the minimun wage is less than four dollars a day.

Vicente Fox better watch his loving mouth wrt Trump. Trump has very little regard for Latin America or it's various peoples, in fact very likely disdain. Them being loud and confident during the Obama years is very much over. Trump will likely be very active in the region unlike Obama. Trump is going to go after immigration at its source.
