CitizenVectron Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/us/politics/trump-border-wars.html And that's not even the craziest thing he wanted: Quote WASHINGTON — The Oval Office meeting this past March began, as so many had, with President Trump fuming about migrants. But this time he had a solution. As White House advisers listened astonished, he ordered them to shut down the entire 2,000-mile border with Mexico — by noon the next day. The advisers feared the president’s edict would trap American tourists in Mexico, strand children at schools on both sides of the border and create an economic meltdown in two countries. Yet they also knew how much the president’s zeal to stop immigration had sent him lurching for solutions, one more extreme than the next. Privately, the president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate. He wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh. After publicly suggesting that soldiers shoot migrants if they threw rocks, the president backed off when his staff told him that was illegal. But later in a meeting, aides recalled, he suggested that they shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down. That’s not allowed either, they told him.

osxmatt Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Donald Trump was born in the wrong century. He’s suffocated by the constraints of modern society. He would be more fit in the 12th or 13th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If there was a game that was like "pick the the stupid thing President Trump didn't say" out of like 3 choices it would be hard to guess correctly. I don't know if this story is true, and that's not something you could say about any other President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Most people will focus on this as disgusting anti-immigrant news. Which is understandable. What strikes me though, is that it is also the uniquely American igranorance and glorification of guns. We get this image of the action hero taking one in the shoulder and finishing the movie fine with some ketchup on his shirt. When in fact, if you started "shooting people in the leg" what you would have is a horror show of screaming people bleeding out in the desert.

skillzdadirecta Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Trump just said live in the White House that all of this stuff is a lie and that the two reporters are from the "corrupt Washington Post so of course none of it is true." The reporters are from the New York Times who wrote this book, right? And he cooperated with the book. He's losing it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
