Or...

As I have watched MSM and especially FOX it appears they have all turned anti Trump and present increasingly negative remarks, people and predictions. Several republicans are posturing for a primary challenging position opposing Trump for the nomination for 2020. Linda Gram and Rubio have joined Flake. I am still waiting for Mittens to pair up with Ryano again and at least be critical of Trump if not run in the primary again. Many republicans smell blood in the water around the WALL.
Most Republicans and Democrats in congress are 2 sides of the same coin. So this is no surprise.
I’m sure that they do.
However, the only person in control of that is Trump.
The only way he was ever in any danger was if he alienated his base, and boom, guess what.
I hope he finds a way to unalienate his base, I really do, because I would rather him not turn out to be just another lying politician, but so far things seem a bit iffy.
I’ve heard many biblical scholars say the US won’t exist when Christ returns. Maybe God is getting ready and the US is about to no longer exist
“And it’s time for grownups to act grownup and stop applying silly names to people - politicians or otherwise. That’s grade school material.”
The use of the nick names was to remind short memory people of who these people were back in the day before Trump was elected. These people change their outspoken positions only to benefit themselves politically. They are still anti Trump and will always be anti We the People and self centered for themselves.
Trump is the worst politician we’ve got, except for all the others.
If he doesn’t get the WALL built, what does it matter.
He would have FAILED at his most important promise.

We need to back him up
Democrats always backed up Obama 100% even when he lied to them
Democrats always backed up the Clintons as well, even when they lied to them
We need to look at this as a set back, he didn’t sign it yet, he might not. We need to back this man, not throw him to the wolves
He is getting the wall built, in fact new wall (or giant fence) has been built in sections. Building parts of it right now.
Some will argue this isn’t exactly what he promised but you know what a 30 foot high barrier whether it is made of steel or concrete does it really matter?
Whether it’s steel or concrete, it needs to be an impenetratable structure.
But Rubio won't run. He will take his shot in 2024 or 2028.
Lindsey Graham did terribly last time, and he knows he won't do any better next time. Plus, he knows he was more popular with Republicans when he was on Trump's side.
Jeff Flake will start a run (exploratory committee) but won't get any traction. Those who would fund or vote for him will be much more interested in the Democratic race.
John Kasich will run. He leaves the governorship next year and he will be almost 70. He has nowhere else to go, and no hope that he'll have more success in 2024 or 2028. And he really doesn't like Trump.
You’re right, but he needs to fight.
People aren’t going to back him while he retreats.
Some might, most won’t.
Quit kicking the damned can down the road. Deal with it now.
Steel bollard fence, about 30 feet high with a rounded top and 8 feet of sheet steel at the top to prevent shimmining up the thing would work the best
It is not the beautiful concrete wall that Trump wanted, but it would be considered a “fence” and I believe it would be just as effective.
He’s been fighting for two freakin years!
He is fighting his own party plus the democRATS
Where have you been?
No, he hasn’t.
He’s signed the continuing resolution every time.
He said he wasn’t ever going to do it again, then he did it again. Now that’s about to happen again.
Where have you been?
ANYONE, inside of politics or out, who expects the Republican party to do what is good and right for the nation, the people or this President, is a fool.
Trump should have renounced the GOP no later than July 2017 and run MAGA candidates for all 435 House seats and all 34 Senate seats last November.
Trump is not a Republican, and why he ever thought the GOP could ever be turned to his purposes is a mystery.
I doubt it. Rubio and the like are hen pecking cowards. Nothing more.
He’s working on it
Where have YOU been?
This man is fighting for two years with attacks on him and his family
He has a man trying to throw him in prison for the rest of his life based on a Hillary Clinton Campaign research lie
He has a party that basically hates him
He has a media that wants him dead
And we are going to do what? Pile on this guy because one thing he promised isn’t going as planned?
Great idea genius
All GOP hopefuls have been never-Trumpers from the start and the MSM is using them a useful idiots to further bludgeon Trump in every way possible.
