The problem is that it very well might be a mandate from the Russians and not a mandate from the (American) people.

And he didn't run a border wall as one of his policies. He ran on a border wall paid for by Mexico as one of his policies.
Plus, he had two years when Republicans controlled Congress and he knew that his own party were just as happy to block his wall as it is a total waste of money.

Mr. Trump's 'mandate' is based on of a minority of the voters. Granted, because of the Electoral College this has happened before, in the case of Bush II most recently, but it's worth noting.that Trump's negative margin of 'victory' was five times that of Bush's shortfall.
You'd have to look as far as the UK to find a worse example of turning a minority of ballots cast into a government....

Interesting case for the mayoral election in Chicago. There are about 20 candidates. The incumbent mayor, Rahm Emanuel, worked for Obama and then went back to his and Barack's home town of Chicago and translated his national popularity into the mayoral victory.
Due to excessive violence in the African American community that the mayor, Emanuel, has no way to really cure due to economic opportunities and liberal gun laws, the imcumbent mayor decided not to face the heat and because his children have all left home and he decided not to subject his wife to more unearned scrutiny. He also was involved in the cover up of a police shooting where the officer put 16 bullets into the body of an African American teenager coming at him high on PCP with a knife. He, Emanuel, I believe, was trying to stem violent protests in the business center "high" streets.
The twenty candidates will run and if no one has a majority, which is almost impossible, there will be a two person run off. They are expecting the two run off candidates to garner 16% to 18% of the popular vote to get to the two candidate run off.

So why hasn't 'Obamacare' repealed and replaced and why hasn't he locked 'her' up?

But he won't care. The only person the guy really cares about is himself.

Yeah. Because all the drugs are being carted across by people on foot hiking across the desert.
If I was going to smuggle drugs into America I’d be using, oh I don’t know, some of the 8 million vehicles that cross through the frontier legally every month or a plane or, well just about any means other than Pedro and Manuela on shank’s pony.

The damned Congress stood in the way, remember -- the one with a GOP majority in both houses until last month.

Must have been a gift from Putin, no, not THAT gift, that Trump left at the Trump Tower in NYC by accident.

Do you realise that Russia spent a total of just over $4000 in trying to influence the US elections? That came from Facebook itself.
As opposed to the US who spend billions trying to influence other nations elections.
Trump won because the Democrats stunk, not because of the poor ole Ruskis.

The opposition didn't say no.
They gave him over 1.3 billion for it.
It's not pro Trump, it's anti-cry baby. Trump derangement syndrome is alive an well in this thread.
Why can't we just enjoy this laugh fest for what it is? This is the funniest presidency ever. What of his Presidency has impacted you personally? Hasn't impacted me one bit.
You never seem to take issue with the pro-Democrat drivel posted in this thread. Any reason? I mean if Trump is an utter **** then so to are the Dems. Consistency?

Guns are covered by the Constitution would seem to be the difference. They could try it, but it would be challenged heavily in court. Climate control might be possible though.

Texas has said give us a small amount of money and they'll build the wall themselves.
It's not about winning votes, it's about being able to say "I said I'd get a wall built", even if it's only in Texas he'll claim a victory.
That's how political spin works.

Yep.....Kennedy said they would get a man on the moon by the end of the 60's. The people like politicians setting ambitious targets and going for them. It didn't matter that Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon spent half the federal reserve on beating the Russians to it. That was the be all and end all. This is Trump's be all and end all and he is hell bent on doing it. Its gonna be his legacy. Thats what they will remember him for.

Spot on. It's all about ego.
Trump was driven by Obama saying he'd never be President. Trump in that respect had the last laugh.
He's not even a Republican, spent more time as a Democrat in his lifetime.
The US government (Congress, FBI, CIA, etc.) definitely believes otherwise. Why does the amount spent have to do with how much influence the Russians had over the elections?

Because they stated social media was a big part of influencing the result(which is utter bullshit). Yet when under questioning Google’s chief executive said a grand total of $4700 was spent purchasing ads. The Russians had minimal influence over the election.
Have you ever stopped to think, what actually does Trump collusion with Russia actually mean? I've yet to see anyone produce a sane argument as to how Russia made the people of Iowa vote for him. Have you got the answer to that?
It's all much ado about nothing. Drummed up by Hilary and her cronies because they still can't handle being beaten. Even sane Liberals are mocking the Russia gate clowns like Rachael Maddow who are unhinged over it.
