Trump has been harping on inflation and foreign wars as two of his many campaign issues. However, I haven't heard any solutions. What is his solution for the inflated grocery prices - i.e., his "drill baby drill" gibberish doesn't qualify? As for our involvement in foreign wars, he has said he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours with a phone call. Without cutting off all aide and ceding the country to his buddy Putin, how exactly would that work? Does he think Zelensky and the NATO countries are simply going to roll over for Putin? Just two examples here but it's obvious Trump talks a big line of bs but offers very few solutions to anything.
How can Republicans defend this?

He has solutions for NOTHING. That’s fine with his followers apparently. No logic to be found.
You do realize that a +40% increase in oil touches everything? Or do you think that every company is going to just eat those costs?
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
That does not, in any way, support the claim that twelve million more illegal immigrants are in this country now than in 2020.
Npnecajse there are not twelve million new illegal immigrants living in this country since Biden took office.
Are any of you intellectually honest enough to admit this?
Maybe one.
I mean, the US population only increased about five million in the last four years.
I believe you misunderstood me.
Moving past estimates of the current total.
How many millions of illegal immigrants are you ok with having in this country.
Different question. The assertion was made that we have twelve million new illegal immigrants in this country under Biden. My sole point of inquiry is to see if anyone can support that claim.
So far nobody has support the claim; yet nobody will admit the claim was BS.
So, without specific stats, you don’t believe that there significantly more illegal immigrants in this country now vs 4 years ago?
Link to your claim that there are roughly the same # of illegal immigrants in this country now as 4 years ago. If true, the Dems would be touting that “stat”; however, I haven’t heard one Democrat politician claim such.
Without specific stats, why do you think there are significantly more illegal immigrants now than 4 years ago?
I’m aware it is a different question.
How many millions of illegal immigrants are you ok with having in this country?
What’s your answer?
There are so many “getaways” that specific stats are hard to come by, but various news sources (not just conservative sources) all agree “at least” 8 million illegal immigrants have entered this country during Biden/Harris administration. Is the new Dem playbook to deny reality?
Not a question I have pondered much.
Why are you changing to a new conversation without admitting you were wrong in the first one?
lol…that proposed border bill was NOT a way to significantly decrease/stop illegal immigration, rather simply a method to increase the speed of processing even more immigrants into this country. It’s not what the majority of Americans wanted, thus the bill was dead on arrival.
So how can 12 million 'more' illegal immigrants be in America now than 4 years ago, if only 8million entered during the Biden/Harris administration?
Wow…if you Dems in this thread are on to something…you better get this immigration “info” quickly to the upcoming Dem national convention. Otherwise, immigration #’s will continue to be a key voting issue, right behind inflation. 😉
I said “at least” to be conservative, but there are some estimates of 12 million +.
So, you don’t see the relationship between more/cheaper energy, i. e. “drill baby drill” mantra and at least some inflation? Transportations costs for various products have gone up, with such costs passed onto the consumer. As to the foreign wars…were there such conflicts during Trump’s tenure? Not sure of his specific plan(s) to stop these conflicts, but perhaps they wouldn’t have even occurred if Trump had been president. 🤔
Gotcha, so:
0 illegal immigrants in America in 2020 when Biden was elected
12M illegal immigrants allowed in by Biden/Harris
= 12M more illegal immigrants in America now than 4 years ago
Makes perfect sense.
lol…who said zero illegal immigrants in America in 2020? However, it was a much smaller/manageable # at that time. The # has exploded during the Biden admin. Try to keep up man. 😉
Have you ever met anyone who did not want to live in New York? Anyone you will ever ask "If you could live anywhere in the world and money was not an issue, where would that be?" will say "New York City!!" (At a minimum, 90% of the responders will say NYC.)
In any case, my point in making the post, is that if government controls pricing, you get less of it. In the apartment market, that means Rent Control. Rent Control leads to fewer rental units and in turn that maintenance suffers.
I presumed that everyone already knew this, so my two cents consisted of relating two of my direct experiences with price controlled rental markets. I remember these two attempts to find housing to be quite sobering.
LOL!! Right. So, Trump and Vance have only taken questions from Musk. What an idiotic take. Tump and Vance have sat down with more LIB media in the last month then Harris has with ANY media. Let that sink in.
How much pondering will it take you to come up with an answer?
We don't know how many there are.
We know that millions come in, we have data on those encountered, no data on those not encountered.
We know that Democrats fight trying get an actual enumeration of them during the Census.
We know we don't have data on how many leave.
Fazel-Zarandi’s study compared inflows and outflows of immigrants as well as demographic data. According to the report, the number of undocumented immigrants could be as low as 16.5 million, or as high as 29.1 million.
Are you ok with 10 million illegal immigrants, but not ok with 20 million? 30 million?
If you're ok with 30 million you probably wouldn't give a shit if it was actually 10 or 11, right?
What's your threshold for this?
NATO ally Finland suffered an average 10 illegal immigrants a day for three months and closed the border with Russia in response.
1,400 illegal immigrants and they closed the border and started building fences.
And we're supposed to be ok with getting thousands a day?
Let's work it a little slower for you.
1. The argument MAGAs made in this thread is that there are 12M more illegal immigrants in this country now, than there were 4 years ago.
2. You said that Biden/Harris allowed 12M illegal immigrants in during their administration.
3. If those two statements are true, then there were 0 illegal immigrants in American when Trump left office.
4. So it isn't hard to figure out which one of the first two statements is bs.
I know you desperately want to change the subject, but I am not doing it until you admit the accusation that there are 12 million more illegal immigrants in this country since Biden took office. That is hogwash, and until you admit it I am not moving on.
Btw, multiple studies have come up with roughly 11Million in total living in the US in 2022. And Homeland Security thinks Fazel-Zarendi’s study is crap.

Once DJT is back in office there will be 11 million less to worry about, I'm willing to help locate and catch them so we can send them back either by bus, plane or boxcar.
It’s not ‘changing the subject’, it’s the heart of the matter.
If you’re fine with 100 million illegals living here, what do you care if it’s 10 million or 29 million today?
I do not think that millions of foreigners have a right to live in this country at taxpayer expense.
How many is too many to you?
I admit we know at least 12 million came in and don’t know how many left, and the Democrats insist we can’t use the census to make an actual enumeration.
You refuse to share your opinion until I ‘admit’ to facts not in evidence. Not going to do that for you.
You can hide your opinion if you’re afraid to share it, but don’t blame me for your cowardice.
So the bureaucrats at the Department of Homeland Security are your fount of truth?
That’s a helluva an admission.
Did you agree with them when they said millions of illegal immigrants coming in was fine, or when they said it was an emergency?

Illegal immigration and the Biden administration
Under the Biden administration, the President has worked to reverse some of the stringent immigration policies that former president Donald Trump passed. These policies included stopping the Mexican border wall construction, protecting DACA recipients, and ending the travel ban on several Muslim majority countries. One of his proposed legislations includes the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which would provide a path to citizenship to as many as 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country.
Like it or not...this administration has opened the borders....and that includes Biden telling them to "Surge to the border." I laugh every time I here a Lib try and defend this and say that it is no worse now than it was under Trump. LOL!
