I couldn't make sense of those photos (actually I can't make sense of Trump being President of anything, but I digress) so I found the actual story.

http://abc7.com/politics/border-wall-going-up-in-calexico-to-replace-aging-structure/3217026/


The new 30-foot steel bollard fencing is not part of President Donald Trump's planned wall. Congress has yet to fund the president's campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S. Southern border that will cost an estimated $18 billion, nor does it use the prototype designs ordered by Trump.

The new wall will be an additional 12-feet tall, and more importantly, Border Patrol agents will be able to see through it to the other side.

:lol::lol:
 
It almost looks like they are just replacing old bits? Also it is a different height in the distance, surely a fence is only as strong as it's weakest part.
Indeed. They are never gonna build another new wall. It was clear from the start, but it's still good for Trump's propaganda.
 
For once, he said something i do agree with. Amazon has to be regulated and so many "new economy" companies.

Indeed, I agree. Though the cynic on me says that it is more to settle a score with Jeff Bezos (who owns Washington Post) rather than Trump actually caring that Amazon is putting thousands of retailers out of business.

But hey, two wrongs make a right, after all.
 
Errr... I thought paying no taxes was a good thing?
Yeah... I mean, doing something about Amazon's tax shenanigans would be very welcome per se, but Trump's motives and his double standards about the topic of taxation make it just another infuriating episode of the Looney Trump show.
 
He's mostly just saying that because he doesn't like Bezos.

There's nothing agreeable in there. Amazon, like any other company, uses the postal service to deliver their products, so that's complete nonsense.

Trump simply doesn't like Bezos because the WaPo doesn't give him favorable coverage (as well they shouldn't).

There is no credibility in Trump's narrative on this.

I don't know the answer to this... but does trump sell any of his own products / merchandise on Amazon?

I don't think that's cynic at all - it's fairly obvious even.
 
:lol: What a hypocritical twat. This coming from someone who said he was clever for not paying tax. Refuses to disclose his tax returns and just gave a huge tax break to wealthy corporations and big businesses and their owners like Amazon and Bezos.
 
Surely Amazon's volume of sales shipping is good for the USPS?
Yeah, its not like they're doing it for free, is it?
In the UK, Amazon uses the likes of Hermes, a private company who use zero hour contract staff to deliver their stuff. I'm sure the UK government would have preferred that they used Royal Mail if it were still publicly owned.
 
How exactly can the VA become a money-making machine?
Hiring healthcare and data management companies to fix the massive clusterfeck that it currently is.

Just to turn it into another cluster, with money going everywhere without anyone monitoring where...
 
How exactly can the VA become a money-making machine?

How can any government department become a money making machine? Like any banana republic the supreme commander floats new tenders and makes sure his boys get those contracts.

Actually Amazon in the UK for the most part use a program called "Amazon Flex" i used to work for them doing it, great extra money when they arnt such bell's about it all and terminate you for no good reason or when the customer does a scam on them where Amazon effectively just blames the driver and gives the customer a refund/replacement which actually happens ALOT.
