President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he "wasn't kidding" about building a "real wall" along the United States' southern border. In fact, the president said, "the wall is getting designed right now."

"It will be a real wall, and a lot of things will happen very positively for your cities, your states, believe me," Trump said, addressing the Major County Sheriffs' Association and Major Cities Chiefs Association joint conference.

He said that he "wasn't kidding" about the wall.

"A lot of people say, oh, oh, Trump was only kidding with the wall. I wasn't kidding. I don't kid. I don't kid," Trump said. "I watched this and they say I was kidding. No, I don't kid. I don't kid about things like that, I can tell you."

1. So when he says he is going to ruin

a State Senators career, then he wasn't kidding. Or was he kidding. When he told the Russians to hack Clinton he wasn't kidding. Or was he kidding.

[safeinOhio]

2. Or grabbing the kitty

[logosoco]

3. Or locking Hillary up?

That and the wall chant were pretty popular with his supporters. I would like for someone to bring that one up to him. He would have to admit there was nothing to charge her with.

[moondust]

13. "We'll destroy his career."

The other law enforcement officials present at the meeting laughed in unison.

But he didn't laugh. And now we know he was serious because he doesn't kid.

Looking more and more like 25th Amendment territory. He was always unfit for office and now with all the pressures and protests and low ratings it's really starting to show.

4. Obviously, no one ever told him the story of...

"The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

Once you are branded a pathological liar, you can't walk it back.

This "precedent" has less credibility than his Propaganda Ministry of Con Way and Spicer!

[Marthe48]

5. he lies --

very different from kidding. And oh yeah, he's not funny.

[snooper2]

6. I wonder what he is going to say when somebody explains what a ladder is to him?

[DK504]

7. He wants to "build a wall"

So he wants to stop all illegals coming across the border. His entire Cabinet will lose all their employees. You had better believe no rich people will pay for one brick of this "wall", they will lose their workers.


"A lot of people say, oh, oh, Trump was only kidding with the wall. I wasn't kidding. I don't kid. I don't kid," Trump said. "I watched this and they say I was kidding. No, I don't kid. I don't kid about things like that, I can tell you."

I expect him to start with: Wopner, Wopner, 4:00, Wopner, 4:00, Wopner, Wopner.

[mahina]

10. Wopner, rofl!

[matt819]

8. No one thought he was kidding

We thought, and still do think, that he's crazy.

As for not kidding, how many times has he said he was just kidding? The one that comes to mind was with, oh, I don't know, the President of Mexico. Trump said he was kidding about sending troops to help him out with crime there.

What a fucking loony-toon.

I know, I should take the high road. They go low; we go high.

But, really!

[mahina]

11. Right on the noselani.

Bingo,

[mahina]

9. Maybe not but he lies, he lies, he lies, he lies, he lies his ass off all the time.

Why repeat yourself five times in one sentence, Donald?

If Mexico isn't going to pay for it and the US isn't going to pay for it, and you've got so much money, how's about you pay for it?

Then in a while we can take the bits down and use the materials for housing people.

[Solly Mack]

12. Stifle yourself already.

You raging hormone of aggression and destruction.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Trump is a kid...

[Scarsdale]

15. Maleria

Put her and her 2 architectural degrees to work!! Yeah, right she dropped out of college. Since she is losing $$$$ by not being able to advertise her wares on the WH website, she needs a job.

[onethatcares]

16. her name is not Maleria

it's Melanoma due to being a cancer on our country.

[lark]

17. Being mean and racist are very important to him, as is building things.

So he put them together and came up with the wall. Doesn't matter that it won't work, doesn't matter that will blow our budget for nothing good, nope, he doesn't give a shit. He just wants a big wall between us and all those brown people with his name on it. That's his sole motivation, personal glory in his own eyes.
