Well. Obama seems to have turned around the economy, launched Obamacare, and gotten us out of two never ending wars.
Trump is making outlandish statements to get attention. He is writing checks that he cannot cash. He is making promises he can never, ever keep.
I would love for us to build a wall - A huge wall, backed up with a huge military presence, staffed 24/7, just like the fucking Berlin wall. And I would love for someone else to pay for it all. But I know that's not going to happen. Even if it does, it will never work - they will either go under it, over it, and right through it. This is big talk about things that will never happen.
Trump doesn't understand that he will be held accountable for every promise he makes. This is not behind closed doors in some business meeting where he can make a promise or commitment and then walk away from it without anyone noticing. This is a very public promise he has made, and when he gets to the White House he'll quickly discover he cannot just build a wall - Government just doesn't work that way.
