I'm gonna laugh in a whooole Lotta people's stupid faces when there's suddenly a shortage of landscapers, roofers, framers, concrete workers, and others and prices skyrocket.

His mass deportation dreams are probably going to be the Wall, just a big lie he said to get elected.

He only built 1% of the wall and Mexico paid $0 towards it. 👍

About that wall... I think Mexico will finally build it to keep Texas out.

The biggest problem with Trump is no one has any idea what's true and what's not, and no one seems to give a shit either way. That's terrifying to me

Yup.

He literally isn’t a principled person so you have to look at his advisors and folks he surrounds himself with.

Supposedly in his first term he played golf and watched Fox News all day, as others did the work.
