    Sadly the people don't get to choose the choices and, to a lot of Americans, nothing would be worse than a Clinton.

    Q President Trump, since we’re here talking about the wall, and the election is fast approaching, do you have anything to say about your 2016 campaign promise that Mexico would pay for it?

    THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, they are paying for it.

    Q How?

    THE PRESIDENT: They’re going to pay at the border, at the gate — cars going through. We’re going to do a toll, or we may do a toll for money being sent back and forth. They will pay for it. Yeah, they are paying for it. It’s a hundred percent.

    Q But just to be clear: Right now, they are not paying for it.

    THE PRESIDENT: No, no, it doesn’t matter whether they pay now or over the next 12 months. No, no, Mexico will be paying.

    You know, it’s the largest entry to a country in terms of business anywhere in the world, by far — a lot of people don’t know that — our southern — our border between Mexico and other countries. But our southern border, it’s the largest point of entry anywhere in the world.

    So they are paying for it. Yeah.

    Q Just, can one of the officials here, one of the experts talk a little bit about what that fee is, how much it is, and how much you plan to actually earn from it?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think what we’re doing is we’re figuring how much we have to charge, what the charge would be. It won’t be very substantial because we have millions and millions of cars and trucks going through the border. And we also may do it as a tax or a combination. We may do it as a tax — money being sent back into Mexico.

    Q Even though the border is closed right now?

    THE PRESIDENT: And you know what? That’s closed, but it’s not going to always be closed. And it’s open at entry. At the points of entry, it’s open, but we’re very, very careful. But it will be fully open in a short period of (inaudible). When the pandemic, when the China virus goes, it will be open.

    He is genuinely, breathtakingly ****ing stupid.

    And his supporters love him for it. Because they are nearly as dumb as he is.

    Q On the campaign: Will you say now that Kamala Harris is eligible to run and be Vice President or President, based on being born in Oakland, California?

    THE PRESIDENT: So, I have nothing to do with that. I read something about it. And I will say that he is a brilliant lawyer that — I guess he wrote an article about it. So I know nothing about it, but it’s not something that bothers me.

    Q But, sir, when you do that, it creates doubt.

    THE PRESIDENT: Why do you say that? I just don’t know about it, but it’s not something that we will be pursuing.

    Q But you do know it, sir. You do —

    THE PRESIDENT: Let me put it differently.

    Q Mr. President, you know.

    THE PRESIDENT: Let me be —

    Q You can simply clear this up.

    THE PRESIDENT: Let me put it differently. Don’t tell me what I know. (Laughter.) Let me put it differently. Let me put it differently: To me, it doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t know about it. I read one quick article. The lawyer happens to be a brilliant lawyer, as you probably know. He wrote an article saying there could be a problem. It’s not something that I’m going to be pursuing.

    Q Is she eligible, sir?

    THE PRESIDENT: I just told you, I have not gone into it in great detail. If she’s got a problem, you would have thought that she would —

    Q It’s not that hard, sir.

    THE PRESIDENT: — have been vetted.

    Q It’s not that hard.

    I disagree.Think how peaceful USA would have been with Hillary. Hell,she won the peoples vote but was chopped by Judicial College. Who were they and how much did Trump give them?

    disagree as much as you want, doesn't change the fact that a lot of Americans absolutely loathed Clinton. I think it was probably the first election where people voted on the basis of who they didn't want as president rather than who they did.

    I don’t think Clinton was a great candidate tbh. She still got more votes than Trump though. Biden will almost certainly get more votes than Trump. Will it be enough?

    I saw an interview with a right wing christian women for trump group. They were asked about his suitability for the presidency given his comments about grabbing pussy, paying off a hooker and his general misogyny.

    Their response was that seeing as God had chosen him to be President, then God would also have forgiven him for his misdemeanours...

    God chose him. Wow.

    And to think, some say he’s nothing but a fascist who’s tried to turn the role of POTUS into that of a dictator.
