"Ratts Of Tobruk" Those wall samples look SO BORING ! I want cranellations and guard towers, murder holes and giant pots of boiling oil that can be poured on would be immigrants ! If Trump is going to have a wall he'll want "the best" wall; they should paint the whole thing red, white and blue as well with eagle sculptures every hundred or so feet (or maybe reliefs of Trump's face scowling) !
I think they're a bit worried that someone might deface the otherwise perfect face of Trumpo. A bit like how they're probably worried that the prototypes with the gaps to see through can be broken open far easier than the other ones.

For me I think they should put an eagle-headed monorail on top. At least get something useful for all that taxpayer money being pasted up the wall.

Back onto the wall are y'all? Isn't it supposed to be see-through? So why are 75% of the 'prototypes' not see-through:



You're not telling me it was just for show? Like how the random costs attached to it aren't accurate either? Or like the claim 'Mexico would pay for it'?
I thought there was supposed to be solar panels attached to it somewhere too.

If Trump actually was playing "4D" chess (by which Trump fans actually mean 3D, but they're more a 'checkers' kind of people), then the solar panels thing would've definitely happened. Big, Beautiful Wall™.

His approval just hit 51%, trending upwards.
From Breitbart...

On Wednesday, Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll showed that 51 percent of likely U.S. voters approved of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent disapproved.


Rasmussen’s daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and an online survey tool of random participants.

Meanwhile Gallup - still at 39%;)

Some of the great emperors of Rome built great walls. Why shouldn’t the God Emperor?
Those walls were more like fortifications surrounding a certain area and as an example 20km long and also built over a controllable area (relatively flat ground).
Trump's wall is more like 2000 miles over isolated and mountainous areas, lakes and so forth and even in one spot straight through a Trump voters golf course (you'll need a visa to finish the last nine holes). :(

The great wall of China is the best comparison and that didn't really work because of the areas where they couldn't build because of the same type of mountainous terrain and also it wasn't possible to have guards all the way along such a long wall that the nomadic raiders will still able to get through to the Chinese side to rape and pillage.

How deep does this rabbit hole go?
Very very deep.
How stupid am I to have believed these self serving clowns?
Who can say what is true any more?

Generally speaking, the cabinet of one Donald J. Trump has been a veritable rogues gallery of lunatics and imbeciles, a revolving door of dangerously disturbed dilettantes who seem to be the invention of some fevered SNL employ on the ass end of a bad acid trip. Who could forget the foot gobbling antics of the king of panic, John Spicer, the dreamy-eyed dominionist mysticism of billionaire bible thumper, Betsy Devos, or the near comatose mumblings of that hammer swinging Thorazine addict, Ben Carson?

Good points Maggie5
You can look at the Trump presidency from a number of aspects - never a dull moment ( which is the problem IMHO)
One which has fascinated me from the Primaries is how the combination of his extreme narcissism , questionable intelligence and well documented autocratic management style will impact on the USA
It's really starting to unravel now - so many departures with even poorer replacements and a POTUS who actually believes he is the smartest in the room at all times even though he takes his lead from sycophants and FOX f****g News FFS
He is a total loose cannon with no idea of how to run a Government or achieve his questionable agenda.
China and Russia would be beside themselves with how Trump is clusterf***g the US , I can't imagine how the US will be in 3 years time let alone if he wins a second term.
It's the biggest reality show on earth and will end the way these shitshows always do unless there is a very quick 180 put into play :eek:

Trump the chump - ups the ante on trade war - markets respond and hurt everyone. He is a full blown idiot and someone should take his phone away so he doesn’t Twitter!

Meanwhile Gallup - still at 39%;)
Rasmussen was one of the most accurate pollsters of the 2016 Presidential Election (arguably the most accurate). Gallup didn't even bother polling.
Gallup no longer bother daily polling/reporting of the President's Job performance. They are weekly. Rasmussen is now the only daily pollster of Presidential Job Tracking (3 day rolling average).
Rasmussen use a full sample of 1500. They choose to only use 500 landline phones in their survey, given the changing landscape for modern day voters to not have landlines (just mobiles). That is, Rasmussen's claimed margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
Gallup's Weekly results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults (per week), with a margin of error is ±3 percentage points. (NB: I was unable to find a level of confidence polling methodology for Gallup)

Can anybody answer why RealClearPolitics who provide an average of polls for Trump's job approval, choose to delete Rasmussen's favourable Trump results from their polling data?

And BTW, last week Rasmussen showed that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters believe when most reporters write or talk about the president, they are trying to block him from passing his agenda, up from 44% a year ago and 47% in August. Just five percent (5%) now think most reporters are trying to help Trump pass his agenda.

What are you trying to say? Rasmussen is the Holy Grail? Nah, don't think so.

Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.

No mickey mouse internet polls.

They stopped doing daily polling in January.
"In January 2018, Gallup started updating presidential job approval on a weekly, rather than daily, basis."

Are people really still debating opinion polls?

That would have to be one of the most fruitless exercises possible. Trying to justify the accuracy of a poll based on the correlation with the last election doesn't prove shit. Happenstance doesn't verify methodology. There are so many flaws and inherent biases in polling that it staggers me anyone bothers reading them let alone quoting them.

Funny how you only appear to voice your displeasure with polls when a Trump supporter refers to them.
... nevermind the fact that you have chosen to post poll results in your anti-Trump hatred in the past.
