    That's not how it works. One shouldn't elect someone based on how they hope they turn out be after the election. One should convince themselves before the election based on the facts presented, not thereafter. Anything else is believing that Santa Claus is real.

    If you're unsure next time, I suggest you ask a Millennial and do not exclude them from your world view. They're the generation that's developing a toolkit of inclusiveness. This toolkit has been rejected by the older generation in their typical egotistical fashion of knowing better. Due to this we're regressing in terms of trade, working together, and just being more civilized on a range of matters to the point where we need to place our last hope on some judges to protect the most vulnerable in society from a state run by 70-year old narcissists.

    So his original intent to build the wall was achieved without much opposition who otherwise would have said those 15 billion was added to the deficit.
    Are you living in the same world the rest of us are ?
    WTF are you getting your information from?

    What a load of bollocks or are protests a recent phenomenen? All those anti Maggie protests were millinials? All those anti Vietnam war protests were millenials? The rightwingers and alternative facts.

    One of the problem I have with people in general is I could trace exactly which news media they've watched if I cared enough to watch them all. I don't make the same mistake. If I do, it's either a coincidence or I would have given the source credit.

    You said : "the same day congress provided the funding." - please provide source that shows congress provided funding.

    You said : "So his original intent to build the wall was achieved without much opposition" - please provide source.

    I'm not going to use my time to check for you. The fact is congress passed the funding at the approximate date as Trump signing the paperwork to build the wall. Even if the 2 events are not technically within the 24hrs timeframe, everyone associated how the wall will be paid - 20% tariff.

    As for the second point, if you're going to quote me, then actually quote me. The fact is, Trump is going ahead with his wall, and his announcement took account of the budget and triumphed over any oppositions.

    I mean, if you think Trump is this really evil guy, why are you even participating in a thread called "Trump's well intended executive orders/policies"?

    Never seen US congress work that fast. Oh, I know why, because they havent.
    I'll await a link, a source, a proof that your fact (congress passed funding) exists, but I wont hold my breath.
    As for the second point, if you're going to quote me, then actually quote me and you have your answer.
    I thought for a minute you'd have something intelligent to say. I was wrong.

    I did mis-perceived official statements as passing.
