Reporters, I beg you: When voters claim they have doubts about Trump’s personality but support “his policies,” ask one simple question:

    Speaking of the border, what kind of cognitive dissonance is going on with Republicans right now when 1) Trump built a big, beautiful wall to keep immigrants out and 2) There’s a crisis at the border due to all the immigrants flooding into the country.

    Did Trump not build the wall? Was the wall not effective?

      That’s just the thing, he didn’t build the wall. He spent 4 years talking about it and didn’t even start. That’s all it ever was: a bunch of hot air. Now I don’t really hear much talk about walls anymore, probably because his base has the memory of a goldfish and can’t recall any talking points Fox didn’t provide them with that week. Now it’s inflation that is the issue the wedge into every conversation, and honestly I’m not entirely sure they know anything about it besides “that’s when prices go up”. Like there’s a dial in the oval office that controls it and Biden cranked it up just to be a dick. It would funny if not for the coup a few years back.

      I have had conversations with people who thought that Trump built the wall but that Biden “welded it open.” I wish I were kidding.
