Great News, the Border Crackdown is working

He’s already delivering, I never expected it to be completed during his first and not even necessarily during two terms, too many hurdles.

I learned not to believe everything politicians tell us to get elected long ago.

So if Trump fails to deliver a wall you will say he did because its going to take more than two terms to build.

By that logic I can say Obama bought peace to the middle east and got all our troops home because a situation that complex will take more than two terms.

Crazy logic but I should not be surprised.

[LucyLou]

No we won’t.

[WildRose]

No, read what I actually wrote. We’ve had more than two years of delays in the courts, and construction is ongoing.

Most of the roadblocks are now out of the way and the rate of new wall goign up is going to accelerate all through next year.

I don’t know of anyone with a crystal ball accurate enough to tell us how many miles will be completed by the end of 2020 much less by the end of 2024 but it’s going to be substantial.

Once again, I don’t care how it gets paid for as long as it gets built.

Moving those goal posts again. I remember the wonder years when you were telling all of us just how Trump would get Mexico to build the wall. Good times.

[WildRose]

I didn’t move anything. I did say there are lots of ways to get MX to foot the bill indirectly, I never said I cared how it got paid.

@WildRose

He appears to think that replacing old, dilapidated, and useless fencing doesn’t count.

It doesn’t.

@WildRose

I do!!

@WildRose

We’ll have about 400 new miles of border wall completed by the end of 2020

[WildRose]

“About”.

[party-free]

“About 400.” You left the second part out.

[WildRose]

Yes, key word, “About”. They are projecting 400 miles of new fence to be completed so “about” is the proper word. It may be more, it may be less.

@WildRose

Replacing fences that don’t stop anyone with walls that stop all above and below ground traffic is exactly what I want.

I want that first to be done in the areas of highest traffic as well and then to work to fill in between.

That is exactly what is happening and the rate of construction has more than doubled so by the end of next year he’ll be well on his way to keeping his promise.

Of course, democrats have tried everything they could think of to stop him through the courts and those cases took time to worth their way through the process but now those barriers are coming down one after another so the job is getting done.

I never cared how it was paid for, I just want it done.

What you want is irrelevant. I am discussing what Trump claimed he would do and what he claims he has done.

As of today Has Trump being successful in his election promise to build a big beautiful wall and have Mexico pay for it.

Once again its a yes or no answer.

Loyalists were buffaloed by a con man, and thanks to AM radio, believe new walls are being built. No new wall will be built before 2020. Only replacement parts.

[party-free]

“About 400” is your crystal ball prediction. You said no one could predict accurately enough, but you did just that in your OP. You predicted “about 400.” That’s how many you believe will be completed by 2020.

If you weren’t confident in that prediction, you shouldn’t have made it.

Lol totally fiction.

[WildRose]

Do I really need to breakout the dictionary for you?

“About” is a wide range.

[WildRose]

Yet the facts show otherwise.

[LucyLou]

Lol wrong.

1a : reasonably close to

You predicted that the number of miles constructed by 2020 will be “reasonably close to” 400. That’s your crystal ball prediction that you said no one is accurate enough to make.

Should we also visit the dictionary for “reasonably” and “close” and maybe “to” while we’re at it?

[WildRose]

Which is nothing but ballpark, go bother someone else.

@Nemesis

So Mexico is not paying for it - we have to divert funds? You said it not me. Thats Another election promise Trump could not keep.

The fact that Trump has not delivered on his election promise is not the sky is falling situation its holding the President accountable for key promises he made.

Nearly 4 years since he was elected and all he has managed to do is repair some existing fencing and you call that progress.

If come election time we are seeing substantial sections of the wall being built and a huge construction project underway I will concede he is starting to deliver but until then.

Are you kidding me? Welcome to America my friend where…they tell you what they know you want to hear…and then do what ever it is they planned to do when elected. Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than ANY President I can remember. If you can’t not comprende, the numerous billions that will be saved for every billion spent, that’s on you. Me…I’ll be one happy boy when it gets built and will able to comprehend the savings to tax payers. I’m not worried about who spent the pennies, when it’s us, that’s saving the dollars.

ballpark

noun

ball·​park | \ ˈbȯl-ˌpärk \

Definition of ballpark

2 : a range (as of prices or views) within which comparison or compromise is possible

in the ballpark

: approximately correct

approximate

adjective

ap·​prox·​i·​mate | \ ə-ˈpräk-sə-mət \

Definition of approximate

(Entry 1 of 2)

1 : nearly correct or exact : close in value or amount but not precise

So using dictionary definitions, your crystal ball prediction of “ballpark” 400 means nearly or exactly 400.

You said no one could make that prediction, but you did in the OP. Using dictionary definitions of the descriptors you provided.
