At least if he goes ahead with it, it'll give a few people jobs for a while. ;)

Wouldn't it be fun if he had it built from the outside by mexican companies as a cost saving measure? ><

I think it was clear from the very first moment when he said that for the very first time that he was not being serious about literally building a wall. That was a figure of speech, and everybody knew it was.

Nope. He made several speeches where he talked about building a literal wall, about how he's a "builder".

As for whether he'll actually go ahead and build it, I suspect he would prefer not to, once people explained to him what a completely insane idea it is. That said, apparently his supporters are quite keen to see him hold to all his campaign promises and will "hold his feet to the fire if he doesn't follow through"

It's a "read between the lines" kind of thing. It's a typical Trump promise, where he promises something outrageous, and he's just waiting for a protest/large backlash against building a wall. Then he'll "reconsider" and do something less.

Meeting with Obama gave him a good excuse to not repeal all of Obamacare.

This trend will continue with all of Trump's promises that seem too crazy to implement.

I love how trump apologists' argument now is "well of course he doesn't mean anything he says"

Why the f* would anyone want a guy like that as their leader?

Apparently Ted Cruz also advocated building a wall (at America's expense) - it's possible that Trump even took the idea from him (at least that's what one Cruz supporter claimed).

At least if he goes ahead with it, it'll give a few people jobs for a while. ;)

He'll probably hire illegal immigrants to build it cheaply. :lol:

who's going to take him serious when he is campaigning for his second term in office. No US president wants to be a one-term president
