As far as immigration ,I agree with stemming the tide of illegal immigration and reestablishing borders and legal immigration, rooting out and deporting the criminal element of illegal immigrants but I also hope that the vast majority already here can be documented and put on a path to citizenship. Most are hard working people with family values and pride and hopes in this country unlike some other habitual complainers , many hispanics have established small businesses from scratch given their entrepreneurial spirit and most undocumented hispanics fill many service jobs well whether that be in restaurants, landscaping, homebuilding, farming etc, that willingness to work and contribute would not necessarily be matched by othersso all of the above is unsubstantiated or just made up. Here's a better list:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/opini...Told a stunning and easily disproved lie on his first full day in power. He then sent his spokesman out to repeat that lie, and said the press would “pay a big price” for refusing to do the same. The pattern of taxpayer-financed mendacity continued nearly every day under the new regime, with lies about everything from the murder rate to the weather.
Threatened to “defund” the most populous state in the nation he governs, California, the world’s sixth- largest economy, which contributes more than $350 billion in annual tax money to the federal government. “California is, in many ways, out of control,” he said.
Insisted, with no evidence, that three to five million people had voted illegally — which, if true, would constitute a huge crime, and one of the biggest election scandals ever. When pressed, a top counselor coined a term that came to define the new administration: “alternative facts.”
Told the Mexican president that he might send the world’s most powerful military across the border to take care of some “bad hombres,” prompting the cancellation of a planned meeting. Hung up on the leader of a nation, Australia, that has long been one of the United States’ most reliable allies.
Created chaos at airports around the world and leading universities and companies at home with the stroke of a pen. His ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries broke apart families, stranded doctors and scholars, and prompted an early constitutional crisis. When his executive order was halted by a court, he attacked the independent judiciary, calling the Republican-appointed judge who challenged him “a so-called judge.” He said blood would be on the hands of courts that had defied him.
Sent his 31-year-old senior adviser, Stephen Miller, out on the Sunday talk shows to further threaten judicial authority. “The powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned,” Miller said.
Insulted one of the nation’s most revered civil rights heroes on the eve of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, calling Representative John Lewis “all talk, talk, talk — no action or results,” and defaming the congressman’s city of Atlanta as a crime-ridden hellhole. He used the holiday itself to brag about his Electoral College victory and bash the press.
Attacked a major American retailer, Nordstrom, for dropping a failing clothing line of his daughter’s. His top counselor, Kellyanne Conway, used her White House position to urge people to buy these same products from her boss’s daughter.
Installed as national security adviser Michael Flynn, a man who had taken Russian propaganda money and spoke, back-channel, to the ambassador of a nation that tried to disrupt the American election. The vice president lied to the public about this because he was not informed of it.
Suggested there was moral equivalence between state-sanctioned killings by Russia and actions of the United States. Not long afterward, Russia deployed a new cruise missile in violation of a treaty with the United States and moved a spy ship just off the coast of this country.
Prompted a top-ranked American general to wonder whether his own government was “stable,” a leading Republican senator to say the administration was “dysfunctional” and a respected psychiatrist to express concern about the president’s “grave emotional instability.”
Turned his resort in Florida into an open-air situation room, potentially exposing national security secrets to enemies and social media chuckleheads. “Holy moly!” posted a witness who watched it unfold.
Responded to general criticism, as well as questions about the rise of anti-Semitic acts, with a boast about his Electoral College win. “I comprehend very well, O.K.? Better than, I think, almost anybody.”
Tried to install as labor secretary someone who violated labor laws, wants to replace workers with robots and doesn’t believe burger-flippers have the right to a living wage. In announcing a new pick, after the first nominee withdrew, the president bragged about his Electoral College win.
You slap yourself. You douse your head with water. The incompetence, the leaking, the daily indignities. What country is this? Is this behavior normalized? There’s more.
As the first month was coming to a close, he held a news conference and bragged about his Electoral College win while lying about the margin’s place in history. His administration, he said, is a smooth-running machine. “There’s zero chaos.” He spent the majority of his time ranting about the press, then predicted the response: “Tomorrow, they’ll be saying, ‘Donald Trump rants and raves at the press.’ I’m not ranting and raving.”
Oh, the libtards at the NYT. Perhaps for sake of objectivity , they can write a article about how the lib Facebook,Google and Biuffet avoid taxes since that was part of their smear campaign as well. Trump is zany, left is so full of hypocrisy

Column: Translating Trump's words into English
Trump press conference: Fake newsPresident Donald Trump called the news media, in general, "fake" roughly 20 times during his 90-minute news conference.
Rex Huppke Rex HuppkeContact Reporter
If you watched President Donald Trump's most recent news conference, you may have reached a point midway through when you thought: "That's strange, I don't recall buying a one-way ticket to Crazytown."Don't be alarmed. That's a perfectly normal reaction, as most Americans are what I call "Trump-illiterate." They hear words coming out of the president's mouth but have no clue what those words actually mean.
For example, during his Thursday news conference, Trump talked about leaks coming from the intelligence community, saying, "The leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake."Saying that a thing is real but reports about that thing are fake might seem like a logical fallacy. It's not, and Trump would call you very dumb for thinking such a thing. (That wouldn't be an insult. In Trumpglish, "very dumb" translates to "I'm frustrated because you're asking something I don't want to answer.")
The rough Trumpglish-to-English translation of "The leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake" is: "The leaks are absolutely real, which sucks. The news is also real, but I'm not going to admit it ever, ever, ever, ever."
Having majored in Trumpglish at Trump University, I'm happy to help my fellow citizens adapt to this new and wildly predictable language.
ADVERTISING
Here, then, is a list of commonly used Trumpglish words and phrases followed by their English translation.
Bad: Generally means "good," particularly when applied to something good that Trump considers bad.
Good: Not good at all. Trumpglish synonyms of this word include "the best," "the greatest," "spectacular," "amazing" and "so amazing."
Fake news: Real news that makes Trump look bad.
Dishonest media: Any media person or outlet reporting news that makes Trump look bad.
Honest reporter: Sean Hannity.
Fine-tuned machine: Complete and utter Dumpster fire.
The biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan: My margin of victory ranked 46th out of 58 U.S. presidential elections.
The failing New York Times: The newspaper that has seen subscriptions soar since Trump was elected president.
I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life: I am a 70-year-old man who doesn't understand what anti-Semitism means, and I have curried favor with white nationalists who know exactly what anti-Semitism means.
I am the least racist person: I am a 70-year-old man who doesn't understand what racism means, and I've been using this line my entire life because it makes me feel better about myself.
Real Americans: People who voted for me and believe everything I say, even when I say things that make no sense, like: "The leaks are real. The news is fake."
Sad: Factual.
Lies: Truth.
I'm sorry: (Definition not available as these words have never been spoken.)
Russians: Pals.
Putin: Best. Pal. Ever.
Leaks: Bad if they involve Trump, good if they involve anyone else.
Inner City: The mysterious place where Trump believes all black people live.
A great wall: A pipe dream.
I'll be in Melbourne, Fla., five o'clock on Saturday and I heard — just heard that the crowds are massive that want to be there: I'm a transparently fragile man who was not hugged enough as a child, and I desperately need to believe that I am loved and powerful.
We're doing very well: This is hard and everything's falling apart, please impeach me so I can go back to television.
Thank you: I hate you.

There are lots of smart people on the sidelines as well, understanding that equity valuations are high and the last run up aren't justified by any policy decisions...Moreso it's a result of anticipated tax cuts for businesses and the proposed non-recession stimulus...Two things that can blow out the deficit and add another 9 trillion dollars to the debt...If that's not a scary proposition, I don't know what is...Republicans tout fiscal responsibility until they get into office at which time they spend like drunken sailors...
In truth, the Democrats are the fiscally responsible party..That has been proven over the last 40 years...

We share the same take on immigration

You go on about fake news, but you never answer- does Donald Trump tell the truth? Do you believe him when he blatantly lies? Take his most recent rally- he claims the judges who ruled against him were all picked by Obama, when actually 2 of 3 were picked by Carter and Bush Jr. Do you still believe him? Explain why he said it if it wasn't true (or do you think he's deluded, or just an idiot).
When he says the Dems losing the presidential election was “the greatest defeat in the history of the country”, do you think thats true? Or that Trump believes it, and if so that he's deluded or an idiot?
When he says: “I promise you that the White House is running so smoothly,”- do you think thats true? Or that Trump believes it, and if so that he's deluded or an idiot?
When he says: the US knows “nothing” about refugees and visa-holders it has admitted into the country- do you think thats true? Or that Trump believes it, and if so that he's deluded or an idiot?
When he said there had been a terrorist attack in Sweden last night (which there clearly has not been), do you think thats true? Or that Trump believes it, and if so that he's deluded or an idiot?
Looking forward to your answers!

Take a step back and re-read what you wrote. It's gibberish- Trump lies, so his supporters can clearly be deceived. How can you already know the outcome of the election in 4 years (especially when you seem to think it will be won on the basis of people not being deceived). You may love it when Trump spouts any old bombastic drivel, but that doesn't make it true- it's just bombastic drivel, much like your post.
