Right. That'll stop the victims of violence and extortion in those countries from coming here!
In terms of foreign policy, Trump is consistent. Consistently wrong.

White House Whistleblower Tells All On Trump Administration Security Clearance

Tricia Newbold, a Trump official, briefed the House oversight committee on “grave” security risks.

Huh. Hey Whell, ya think it might be because the folks actually qualified for these slots refuse to work for this sham administration? What is your opinion as an HR flunky?

I spend a lot of time reading financial news, listening to and watching things like the Nightly Business Report. Yahoo Finance has basically been my "home page" for years.

Almost universally over the past couple of days, the reporters and interviewees have had a tough time hiding their contempt and laughter for this buffoon president* over his absurd idea that he's going to "shut down the border" with Mexico.

Obviously, this buffoonery is targeting fools like Whell, who will cheer him on, but leaders of business and finance know this is just a ridiculous, stupid, utterly impossible idea, which would do immense damage to our economy.

When will this national disgrace end!? When will fools like Whell finally come to their senses?

I saw that noted moron, Larry Kudlow was saying the 'truck' lanes would stay open.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—German Chancellor Angela Merkel demanded that Donald Trump issue a “complete and sincere apology” to the German people, after Trump claimed incorrectly, on Tuesday, that his father was born in Germany.

“Of the many insulting things that Donald Trump could say to the German people, alleging that his father was born here is by far the most hurtful,” she said. “He must take it back at once.”

Merkel said that Germany would consider breaking off diplomatic relations with the U.S. immediately if Trump did not acknowledge “that his father was born somewhere else.”

Despite widely available evidence that Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was born in the Bronx, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, stuck by Trump’s story on Tuesday afternoon. “The President is proud that his father was born in a great foreign country like Germany, and not in a bad foreign country like Puerto Rico,” she said.

Trump backs off threat to close southern border immediately, says he’ll give Mexico ‘one-year warning’ on drugs, migrants

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...96e_story.html

Someone obviously pointed out to the moron that this idiotic idea would destroy his chances at reelection, not to mention our economy. Guess which one he actually cared about?
