(51,609 posts)In the past. If he is cornered his digs his heels in deeper. Congress could stand strong but most likely they will cave as usual. The moron had this plan long ago (he is cruel and racist) and wants to keep it to get his base going nuts for the midterms. Besides that when he is wrong he just hopes the issue goes away eventually (like the neo Nazis and alt right rallies over statues, etc.).

Then they will rapidly fill and then when we have hundreds of thousands of prisoners at the camps draining our resources and then argue we need the wall.
Everything going according to plan....

(10,272 posts)Because as far as I'm concerned our response needs to be pretty easy to understand:
We don't negotiate with kidnappers and terrorists. Besides, trump promised our constituents that MEXICO would pay for the wall, so he doesn't need us to do a damn thing...unless he was lying.
But what about the hostages?
That's up to the hostage-takers until such time as we can effectively deal with the hostage-takers.
AND WE WILL.
fuck this dumb orange monkey GIVE HIM NOTHING.
