Do You Agree With Trump’s Continued Pursuit Of A Border Wall At the Expense Of The American Public?

Reginald Jacobs Howell…
I do not agree with Trump and his methods. The hard working people of America we shouldn’t have to suffer from idiot decisions.  There’s a guy in charge who does not know what he is doing, the government shutdown is affecting us all with healthcare, getting their money, it’s just not a good look. There is no way this man should be in charge, this is not a good way of doing things, it’s an agree to disagree situation, I just don’t approve.

 

Bianca Pope…

No, I do not agree with President Trump’s stance on the border wall, especially exchanging it for the funding for the federal government as this has a tremendous trickle down affect on the community and the nation as a whole.  Especially for people who are unemployed or underemployed and being forced to work without pay as well as various government agencies that are needed such as SNAP and TSA, who will not be functioning at full capacity. This puts not only our nation’s interest at risk but also the interest of women and children who rely on those benefits.

I do not agree with the ongoing controversy about the wall. There is a Gofundme page that was created all for the wall when the government didn’t go through with it and you can see how the Gofundme account had raised in three days several million dollars for this wall. When it comes to this wall I just don’t agree with it, when you look at how much people were dedicated and really gave to the cause, you can see the mindset of the nation and with Trump he’s playing his cards and as a businessman he knows what he’s feeding to the true credence of the American people.

Jermaine Medley…
I disagree with President Trump’s decision to pursue a border wall because it isn’t in the best interest of the majority of the American people and any pursuit of it is more pride than it is selflessness.

No, I do not agree with his pursuit of a border wall particularly not on America’s dime.  When you think of America it is supposed to be a country for everyone and that is exactly the opposite of what this wall represents. We are a diverse nation, I mean our background is unique and to have people shunned or not be able come in kind of defeats everything I think America stands for.

 

 

Tim Jumper…
The President’s pursuit of this border wall is ego driven.  This president has shown a disdain for truth and loyalty to the American people.  His campaign promise was that Mexico was to pay for it, that failed and now he wants to pass the bill to the American people . Yet, exclusion is not what the principles are based on, inclusion is the theory but not the reality. The President’s  rhetoric and the notion of a border wall manifests this division. But as Americans we will prevail to our better angels.
