Thom, let's be clear, I don't worship Trump, I find a lot of fault with Trump as I have repeatedly made clear on this forum, however I do like many of his policies although I don't agree with all of them, for instance, the threat of tariffs on trade with Mexico because of immigration, I am not sure that is the correct approach. He has a problem with a do nothing congress that is content to watch as the house burns refusing to pick up the fire hose that lies at their feet.

I do support gaining control of our borders and confronting the fact that we have some 30 million illegal residents already in this country....
