...real talk. It would be in the countries and the worlds best interest for Twitter to ban the president from twitter.

So, Mexico is 'unwilling to pay for the wall'? Thats a shocker.
Instead of taking a page from Paul Ryan and his lie about Mexico reimbursing the U.S. for the wall in the future, the idiot Trump comes out and Tweets that 'Mexico is unwilling to pay for the wall.' You dont tweet that you ? . "Hey, what do you want me to do? Mexico says they dont wanna pay for it. "
F**king idiot.
Just come out and say the taxpayer will pay for the construction of the wall which will certainly go way over budget and will have questionable effectiveness.
Conservatives and his voters most likely dont care who pays for the wall. They just want a wall and he's too stupid to realize that.
Republicans would happily appropriate the funds even if that wall costed over 50 billion.

No it would not.
That would be a terrible thing if that happened. -
I get where you're going but his twitter could get us into a trade war or a significant international conflict.
Double edged sword.

Here is an NPR audiocast on the topicThe narrative goes like this: For decades, white America has increasingly been left behind. The nation's culture and politics have steadily shifted to favor minorities and immigrants over the hard working white folk struggling to stay afloat.
But is this notion even remotely true? As Trump rides a wave of populous sentiment into the White House, the question remains as relevant as ever. Today we speak with sociologists and culture critics about the origin, impact and veracity of the narrative of white disenfranchisement.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/entire-state-department-management-team-resigns-unexpectedlyReport: Entire State Department Management Team Abruptly Steps Down
The entire senior level management team at the State Department collectively resigned on Wednesday, according to the Washington Post.
Undersecretary for management Patrick Kennedy unexpectedly stepped down after nine years in his role, and Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond and Ambassador Gentry O. Smith, director of the Office of Foreign Missions, all followed suit. The four officials, who have served under both Republican and Democratic administrations, are charged with managing the agency and overseeing its staff diplomatic posts abroad.
Kennedy was actively working to assist Donald Trump’s transition team and his departure came as a shock to current and former foreign policy officials, according to the Post. It follows the Jan. 20 resignation of Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security Gregory Starr and director of the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations Lydia Muniz.
“It’s the single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory that anyone can remember, and that’s incredibly difficult to replicate,” David Wade, State Department chief of staff under Secretary of State John Kerry, told the newspaper. “Department expertise in security, management, administrative and consular positions in particular are very difficult to replicate and particularly difficult to find in the private sector.”
If confirmed, President Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, will begin his term without the assistance of career civil servants who can help him navigate the inner workings of the agency. Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, has no experience working in government. He was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on party lines, and is expected to be confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate. -

net migration under President Obama was close to zero and we had one of the strictest immigration policies under his administration. He is trying to appease some of his xenophobic/nationalist base who blame immigrants for everything.
There will be alot of profiling and people taking the law into their hands and thats sets a bad precedent.It will be deemed unconstitutional.
It is unrealistic because all 50 states will be denied funding for such petty ? , Trump really dont want them problems.
You are gonna try and arrest/detain people from every nationality? really?
thanks for the answer
ima keep looking into this -
