My position on Trump hasn't changed. He is a businessman, and he is used to getting his way. He says "I want to build a hotel" and throws enough money at it until it happens. Business is easy compared to government. That doesn't work in government. You say "I want to do X, and then you have another political party going to spend the next two years trying to shoot it down, six groups demanding investigations, dozens of media outlets spreading lies about your project, and somehow you have to convince hundreds of Americans to go along with you.

Trump is saying he is going to build a wall. Great idea, great political platform. However, we currently have a "wall" that is 700 miles long, barely effective, in some places is barely anything more than a barbed wire fence, and Trump is telling us he is going to finish building this wall. It's currently 700 miles long, and a CNN report said it would cost $723 billion dollars to double it from 700 miles to 1400 miles. And it still won't make a difference.

Great. Let's put Trump in office. Let's watch him spend hundreds of billions building a wall that is completely ineffective. That's gonna be fun.

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is local politics. The city employees going on strike and not picking up our garbage had much more of an effect on my and my family than anything Obama has done.
