"has it dawned on any one yet that this idiot is stark raving mad."
Because he wants to enforce existing law?
Has it ever occurred to you that the way we currently handle immigration and illegal aliens is sheer lunacy? Sanctuary cities, catch-and-release, welcoming Syrian refugees, government assistance (including welfare, education, healthcare, and food stamps) to illegals, and voting rights.
Illegals cost us $100 billion per year -- money we don't have. You want to keep them and add more? Who's stark raving mad?
No, because he thinks the national interest is served by repeating stupid ideas. It is not stupid to propose a wall, a wall of sorts is already being constructed, but to suggest he can arbitrarily demand and enforce his will on another sovereign nation. It is stupid to suggest that the citizens of another nation are all criminals, drug dealers and rapists. It is stupid to conduct talks with a leader of another nation when all you are going to do afterward is antagonise the citizens of that nation.
There is no political capital in enforcing existing laws, but he sees political capital in making radical pronouncements
(Trump) thinks the national interest is served by repeating stupid ideas.
Paraclete thinks some of Trumps ideas are stupid. --- BFD...
It is not stupid to propose a wall, a wall of sorts is already being constructed, but to suggest he can arbitrarily demand and enforce his will on another sovereign nation.
Tariffs are arbitrary taxes on the imports of sovereign nations. It is not stupid to suggest that such tariffs could pay for a wall.
It is stupid to suggest that the citizens of another nation are all criminals, drug dealers and rapists.
It is stupid to contend Trump made such a suggestion.
It is stupid to conduct talks with a leader of another nation when all you are going to do afterward is antagonise the citizens of that nation.
It is stupid to claim that Trump antagonized anyone by his talks with Mexico's president.
