So, this might seem to be about a wall....but it is really about Donald Trump, trying to impose his will on people that he cannot impose his will on. Donald doesn't seem to listen very well. I didn't get the feeling he was listening to anything anyone else said. And that is what Donald did today. He proved he doesn't wait and doesn't listen to those he is having a conversation (theoretically) with. He doesn't even try to listen.

It is a conversation with himself for all to see. Interruption after interruption after interruption.
And that is very important. Showing all in the U.S.A., the conversation is only with him and himself and no one else. That is what we see.

Yes, there are about 25 to 30 percent in the U.S.A. who will not listen to anyone. They are Donald's followers. The week Nixon was thrown out of office, 27 percent believed they supported him.. So, with Donald, it will be 25 percent. That means that 75 percent in the end, will not support " Donald the Wall".

Why is it important now? Because even on live national TV, in front of millions, he will not listen to anyone in an important conversation. If 75 percent of the country see "Donald the Wall" as a selfish person who will not even listen on live TV in front of million, then that 75 percent will conclude that he should not be President of the United States of America.

Most of us are very reasonable. We listen even if we do not agree. To family, friends, fellow workers, bosses, teachers, fellow students, people we are in charge of..and so on. We know how important that is. Not Donald the Wall. He is above that, and he does not need to listen. When honest and reasonable people see this, they will know that even on live TV in front of millions of fellow citizens, Donald the Wall, will not listen. He has got to interrupt and always boss everyone...

"Donald the Wall" may not have lost the argument. But he did loose the respect of a number of .."fence sitters." Yes, there are many who still aren't sure about "Donald the Wall" As this makes the rounds, I do think that many "fence sitters" will get off the fence and say.."What an asshole, look how he interrupted the lady." I know that is hard to believe. But I think that Donald's disrespect on this 15 minute video could help this country to decide in the end..."Boy he is nuts, and he is totally disrespectful to others." "He should not be the President, and he needs to be removed.

Finally, I think that someone could see that truth with seeing only 10 minutes of this video. That is very good. Many in this country cannot watch more than 10 minutes without a break. Thanks for reading this...

But both Pelosi and Schumer seemed like they were struggling to hold back from saying, "trump is full of shit and making up a fuck ton of fake ass statistics to try and sell this country on a bullshit wall." I would have just said exactly that, but then again, they are far more classy than i.
