The wall is real. He has been meeting with Netanyahu and the Israeli company that built the 440 mile wall they have there. This is "shovel ready" for Trump. This will be his Panama canal or Hoover dam.

Well, all the better if he does do it. I just am skeptical :3

they should detain all the trespassing mexicans for the next 6 months and then use them as free labor to build the wall.

Of course he didn't present it as a metaphor. His supporters wanted a real wall and he seized on that. It doesn't mean he ever intended to build one out of bricks or actually make it 10' higher or actually have Mexico finance it by writing checks to the US government though. A 'wall' can be comprised of a great many things beyond brick and mortar and 'paying' for something can be done in many forms ^^

It was a brilliant strategy because when he starts discussing it, his supporters will be too embarrassed to admit they took it literally and his opponents will be shouting, "No, no, no, no, NO! You said you were going to build a wall, so build it, or are you a liar?" And Trump will come out the good guy^^ Careful with the charge ^.~v

Of course he could surprise me and actually build a 50' tall wall *shrugs*

That was my point. He has to build it or else. Problem is funding the damn thing isn't going to be easy since immigrant labor is cheap, and the folks in congress like cheap labor. Playing ball with congress or playing ball with his supporters could get him ousted in 4 years or less. Impeachment is the desperate act if the GOP can't wrangle him. They think they can, and I'm waiting for all this to unfold because it's entertaining.

TOTALLY agree with this ^^. Whether America burns to the ground or soars to the heavens, the next four years will be super entertaining ^^

Abortion is currently legal in all 50 states. So when a politician says to end federal protection for it - and leave it up to the states - what do you think that means?

Who's liberty is being infringed by abortion being legal?

btw States rights zealots such as yourself and Dr. Paul aren't the audience they're speaking to.

I always understood the wall to be a metaphor and figured Trump would affirm that shortly after winning if pressed on the issue. Maybe the wall will include an expansion of the Bush wall, or another physical element, but it's just a general barrier to entry.

I don't think Trump particularly cares about social issues and he is certainly not going to pursue abortion bans or gay marriage bans or prayer in school. I could be wrong, but I see him as reasonably liberal in at regard. He's just also reasonably conservative when it comes to things like national security and immigration.

Going to be really interesting though to see what he does, because it could be super shitty or it could be good. Either way, the US is going a new direction. Up a hill or off a cliff remains to be seen ^^

METAPHOR MY ASS... maskedmelon dont bullshit us.

TRUMP doesn't even know what a metaphor is let alone know how to use one.



BUILD THAT FUCKING WALL!!!
