    So much to chew over in Trump’s Rose Garden speech, but I’m stuck on this: He claimed previous presidents have told him they wish they’d built a border wall. Really? Obama? Bush 43? Clinton? Bush 41? Carter? None has signaled in any way that he is pro-wall.

        Another thing were his weird comments about navigation; "They get off the road, and they drive out into the desert and they come in, they make a left turn - usually it's a left, not a right." What the hell was that? He even went back to it later.pic.twitter.com/c6QgNtAR2G

        I think the point he was “making” was that They are Democrats after landing and so should die in the desert. Or their kids will vote. Or “fraud” vote. You know - stupid.

        I guess anything's possible, but I don't believe Trump's intelligent enough to be that analytical.

        You can stop citing his bullshit as a claim. Just label it bullshit cuz it’s bullshit. “Trump lied about other presidents wanting a wall. They never have.”

        exactly. The former presidents had structures built and/or reinforced where they made sense and where hundreds of thousands of Americans wouldn't be forced to surrender their homes by eminent domain in order to build unnecessary additions 🙄

        Someone in the press should have asked who, and they should have kept on asking.

        Exactly! When @realDonaldTrump lies, the press needs to ask him to defend it. They need to work together to do this. Why has this not happened? Same with @PressSec, whoever that may be. We can be sure the new one will lie. The press needs to do a better job of this.

        It doesn't do any good for the press to try to get answers to questions he doesn't want to answer, he just ignores the question(s). Re: journalist April ____ & another asked him if any safety nets for fed.employees not getting paychecks. He just didn't answer.

        Yup, he doesn't answer them...but it just reinforces (and hopefully open up some eyes) to the fact that he doesn't know jack or doesn't care about anyone else...

        Here's the story from what he's said today: He plans to keep it shut down for months or years. AND right there, that statement confirms what I've said that this is a turn to dictatorship in broad daylight. He should be being REMOVED as we speak. I don't mean impeached but REMOVED

        And to claim that the workers who don’t know where their next check is coming from or when are glad to stand with him on this was nauseating. Reporters need to laugh at him more. I would have said, “oh really, let’s go ask them.” Horrible President. Horrible man. #Impeach45
