OrangeVerse XXX: El Muro

The president visited the sanctuary state of California today, to look at mockups for his big, beautiful, pretty on the US side, ugly on the Mexican side wall. There were prototypes for him to stand in front of, and ogle, and point to, and stuff.

And it was close to where bad guys are, so that was a bonus in the manly man stuff - no generals required. It was almost poetic.OK, fine, it was poetic.

(It helps to keep in mind that  it was only a short time ago, back in February, that Trump and Enrique Pena Nieto had another testy phone call, and a planned trip by the Mexican president to the US was scrapped. And, of course, Jared went to Mexico to try and smooth things over.)

Criminals and Tariffs

Every day criminals

and tariffs try to

infiltrate our country.

You got a good

 glimpse of it before. 

We did it together, 

with the media

frankly.
I didn't know we

were going to be doing

that but you got, really

maybe a far better glimpse

than you're going to

get right now.

Billions and Billions

But the border wall

is truly our first line

of defense, and it's probably

if you think about it,

our first and last, other than

the great ICE agents and other people - 

moving people out.

It will save

thousands and thousands

of lives, save taxpayers

hundreds of billions of dollars

by reducing crime flow,

drug flow, welfare fraud,

and burdens on schools

and hospitals. The wall

will save hundreds of

billions  of dollars - 

many, many times

what it's going to cost.

Sanc-tu-ary

California sanctuary policies

put the entire nation

at risk. 

They're the best friend

of the criminal.

That's what exactly is happening. 

The criminals take refuge in 

these sanctuary cities

and it's very dangerous for our

police and enforcement folks.

The smugglers

the traffickers

the gang members

they're all taking

refuge and I

think a lot of people

in California understand that,

a lot of people from

other places understand it...

Enrique

I have a great

relationship with the

president of Mexico, a 

wonderful guy - Enrique.

Terrific guy. We're working - 

we're trying to work things out.

We'll see whether or not

it happens.

I don't know that 

it's going to happen.

He's a very

good negotiator.

He loves the

people of Mexico,

and he's working very hard.

We'll see what happens.

Collusion?

But we have to, 

obviously, have a 

couple of disagreements

before we get there.

You'll see over 

the next month

whether or not it

takes place 

in this administration,

meaning his administration.

They have an election 

coming up. 

I hear they have

some very good 

people running

and they have

some that maybe

aren't so good.

In any event

we'll handle it.

I Babbel

So I want to 

thank everybody for

being here. I want to thank

frankly, the media

for being here.

And we'll let the people

of our country know

that we need safety

we need security 

at the border, 

and we're getting it

like we've never 
had it before

but I want to
 make it

perfecto.
