PRESIDENT TRUMP BACKS DOWN AGAIN.  MITCH  McCONNELL PULLING THE STRINGS. THAT'S SAD.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

WOW! I'm losing my confidence in President Trump. It appears he continues to back pedal on his promises. Most recent example, last week he said: I'm going to shut down the border. I mean it! I'm not kidding. Then just today he went on national television and said: I'm going to give Mexico "ONE YEAR" to stop the immigrants from Central America at their southern border and stop the drugs from being smuggled from Mexico OR I'm going to put tariffs on their cars and close the border. WHAT!!!!!!

Boy, it appears Mitch McConnell is still pulling the strings at the White House and leading President Trump around by the nose. Come on! Wait  ONE YEAR. What the devil is the president thinking?

We have the crisis at the border NOW. Illegal aliens and asylum seekers coming at a rate of 100,000 per month and  they are being released into the United States to await hearings, which takes years and over 90% of those immigrants fail  to show up and continue to hide in the shadows all the while receiving welfare, free education for their family, free health and a number of other free benefits.

President Trump should have  went with his own instincts and CLOSED the border as he said he was going to do. But Republicans and some on the White House staff bend his ear and dissuade him using the excuse an election is coming up. That's all these politicians worry about-- being reelected. Hell, the same thing happened in President Trumps first year in office. McConnell and Paul Ryan conned  him that first year and now McConnell continues on that same path. Just look at  the president's  pronouncement last week saying he will tackle the health care issue and McConnell met with President Trump and said he wouldn't even bring up the healthcare  issue.  Now Trump says  basically, "I will wait until after the 2020 election when we take back the House. What  a Joke!! If Trump's Republican party members continue to squabble and bicker among themselves they WILL NOT take back the House in 20/20.
There is always a new election on the horizon and that's just an excuse to postpone and kick the can down the road. Result--- nothing gets done.

Trump is backing down on many of his proclamations and many, many, many of his promises. That's sad. Especially  for all of us who voted for him and his ideas. He disappointed  me and I would guess  a large majority of the Trump train block of supporters.

He should  disregard McConnel's advice and rid his  party of Republican Rino's  like Senator Collins, Rand Paul and others who are always combating his ideas at every turn and voting against his policies and programs.We need Republicans in office who are  willing to stand behind President Trumps agenda and vote to get it through. Period.

Now these same  Republicans who said then would  carry out Trump's agenda and failed to do so  cry and play the blame game. They say we have a divided Congress and have Democrats controlling the House and that makes it difficult to get anything done. Well, news flash--- if the Republicans that did have a majority in the House would have stopped fighting among themselves and actually put forward  Trump's policies they could have still had a majority  in the House.  These arrogant, idiot Republicans who had the House, Senate and White House, squandered their political capital by splitting and arguing and not sticking together. They should have taken a page fro the Democrats playbook and acted in lockstep. They brought the  loss of the House on themselves. I predict that if they do not get their act together and act as one body, together, the  will lose the House again and possibly even some Senate seats.

In closing, President Trump ran on the signature issue of securing our border. Letting McConnell and a few White House staff that are afraid of losing the 20/20 election run the asylum is time to come to an end. Right now the border is worse off than when Trump took office.  Currently there is an influx of migrants large enough to fill ball stadium after stadium. It has reached a point where  the  migrants illegally entering the United States is more than the population in some of our states. That's wrong.

We stand to have over a million migrants coming across our border within a year. That's as bad a  Germany's, Angela Merkel allowing a  million refugees into Germany a few years ago. What a fiasco that was. And President Trump condemned the act. But he's okay with putting up with allowing a million more migrants  invade our borders and says he will allow Mexico one year to act. Wow! No wonder Trump will lose some voters  next election.

What makes the president think  Mexico will comply?  They won't. They have been smuggling drugs and allowing  Mexicans and other foreigners to enter the U.S. illegally. for decades. Mexico with all of its corruption will continue these practices. The Mexican government is predisposed to do these illegal acts. The country and their corrupt officials  will  not change.

President Trump has to ACT, NOW. If he  wants to place a time for Mexico to respond he should give them only 45 days, ---NOT ONE YEAR. Better yet, put a bunch of these feckless politicians and lawmakers in a room and tell them not to come out until they  come up with a plan to close the immigration loopholes and change the law that's been discussed over and over again. He and lawmakers have said the deal could be hammered out in an hours time. Well, DO IT PRESIDENT TRUMP.  SAVE AMERICA, President Trump. I suggest you act and secure the border instead of empty bluster and  promises that you apparently continue stepping  back on and backing down from. The country is in peril. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decision. You decide.
