In which case, you go back to the people and ask for a mandate for a new plan. Which Trump did - and the people said no. Congress said no. Judges are saying no. In fact everyone is saying no. And you're calling them demons for not willing to buy a different deal than the one Trump sold them.
I thought you were the party of fiscal responsibility? Now you're asking why money matters?
If your real goal really was border security, you:
1) Would want to spend the money in an efficient manner, rather than a boondoggle
2) Wouldn't be supporting the party of open borders, who have not only refused to create any immigration legislation, but actively blocked it when bipartisan legislation was introduced.
You pretend like you care about border security, but reality shows you don't.

I suppose true logic is making someone pay for something when you said that they wouldn't be paying for it.
Dinner's on me tonight @Noidall! (but bring your wallet just in case)

Oh, I'm sorry, let me know which of the big words you didn't understand, and I'll be happy to link you to a dictionary.

Hah, as diverse as 'Mexico will pay for the wall' and 'oh wait, no, we're going to make Americans pay for the wall'.
Very diverse. And very opinionated!

You realize you're contradicting Donny boy himself, who was very clear before he became president that a president should not be golfing.
So which Donny are you going to agree with? And how are you going to deal with the hypcorisy of disagreeing with the other Donny?

Many of my Chinese and Japanese friends support Trump. They may not all like him personally but see the big picture. Counterfeit products and stealing Tech is entrenched in the Chinese culture. Born from being constantly behind Japan and the West.

End the occupation now. Or, if that doesn't appeal - have Japanese bases in Hawaii, Alaska and other strategic locations.

Better than working, whichbis why Donny spends more time on the course than in the office.

Asians are smart enough to overwhelm him with insincere flattery, as long as they get what they want.

Friends??!!!! Sure.
By the time the man-child leaves Japan, Abe's tongue will be as brown as muck.
Going golfing today? Any chance of rolling for the cameras again?? Tee hee hee.

But that's continental europe/euros in a nutshell i.e standoffish, blunt/direct, in your face attitude etc. Don't think they 'mishandled' Trump tbh, they've just adopted a different, more confrontational approach, something you can do when you're the largest economy/trading block in the world.
What works for some may not work for others.

Good.

"Patrick Buchan,..... said Abe served as a global model on how to woo Trump -- making the relationship personal and resolving concerns through private channels."
Because Shinzo Abe is a wise leader who can see the big picture.

True, even if Donnie commits some major gaffe or makes a fool of himself during the visit...
Keep your hands off the ladies Donnie....

Sometimes liberals try so hard to believe in something that just isn’t true and that has been disproven, time and time again officially sealed and noted. Lol
But anger still prevails for heaters in they will still try going on bringing up false narratives. The relationship between Japan and America has always been tight and will continue to maintain so.

True, but Russia is where Donnie's heart really lies - he's among friends in Asia, but in Russia it's more Master and Poodle...
