So Mr. (P)resident wants to build a wall across our southern border … costing an estimated $15 to $25 billion dollars. To pay for the wall, Dolt 45 will cut $500 million for a new Coast Guard cutter.
You see, his Petulance wants his immigrants wet while his arithmetic goes awry. So immigrants shall arrive by sea, he decrees, instead of crossing the Rio Grande ... thus making it easier to row versus wade.

As someone said on Facebook, DT can tell another lie, that the wall is built. His supporters will believe it and taxpayers will save billions of dollars.
Tells lie loud enough and long enough, sounds familiar.
ABOUT MALICIOUS LYING:
Germany officially unveiled a landmark social-media bill Wednesday that could quickly turn this nation into a test case in the effort to combat the spread of fake news and hate speech in the West.... In effect, the move is Germany’s response to a barrage of fake news during last year’s elections in the United States, with officials seeking to prevent a similar onslaught here.... If passed, as now appears likely, the measure would compel large outlets such as Facebook and Twitter to rapidly remove fake news that incites hate, as well as other “criminal” content, or face huge fines.... The Czech Republic recently inaugurated a special unit charged with denouncing false reports.... Officials have cited a surge of hate speech across the Internet as a major fact
or behind the rise of far-right violence in Germany, including arson attacks at refugee centers and assaults on police officers.... Rather than setting a new standard, officials say they are simply forcing social-media outlets to comply with existing laws governing hate speech and incitement in Germany. Incitement and defamation laws here are far broader than in the United States; for instance, laws on the books...make denial of the Holocaust a crime. Excerpts from How do you stop fake news? In Germany, with a law. http://wapo.st/2p1ab8s?tid=ss_tw
Hi Bob,
Some time ago, The Press Journal published one of my guest columns on this subject. Originally title "Free Speech, Hate Speech, and the Choices We Make," my op-ed covers some of the points you make. The issues here are not merely limited to hate speech but also to the phenomena of malicious trolling. Here is the link:
