If true, I'm guessing it's because of statements like this:

Where are all the "lock her up" people on stuff like this?

I still think she needs to be locked up. It's not like people didn't know he was a democrat until not very long ago and that he (Trump) schmoozed it up with all the NY elites including the Clintons.
I'm not surprised at all that he's not going to pursue it now.

I suppose I'm not referring to you, then. I'm referring to all the people who were ready to chant about him locking her up and draining the swamp, calling him an "outsider."

At the very least Hillary should be indicted.

They were placated in that she will not be rewarded with the office of POTUS. They will live with it if he can get other items they favor and he promised done.

Personally I can not rectify "you'd be in jail" with "I have a lot of respect". It's like Comey laying out a legal case for her indictment then doing a 180 and saying there is no legal reason to indict.

The Clintons still hold a lot of political power in Washington its obvious he has been advised to make peace in order to limit road blocks. Its a cesspool and anyone that believes that someone can waltz in an just pull the plug is deceived.

It will lessen government: far fewer illegals to chase around and pay benefits to. Costs across the board will shrink and we will be able to focus on and solve other pressing issues. Trump forges ahead.

It's a massive public works project. It's Big Government to the T.

Ok, so he wants to build the wall, how will it be procured?
Will it be DHS that leads the procurement? DHS uses a Coast Guard multiple award contract for construction. They might use that, but it will need to be extended and expanded "big league".
Will it be the Army Corps, Southwestern and South Pacific Divisions? They have contract vehicles to use, but none nowhere close to the proper value needed.
I also wonder what the specs will be, and then how bids will be selected.

If I had to guess, it will be out of the Army Corps and be procured through a series of contracts and contract vehicles that will balloon the costs and bids.
That is also not fast. Procurement will probably take a year plus and that assumes no snags in law suits or budget. Plus, most Contracting Offices are already spread thin right now with work.

I don't mind the wall actually, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Regarding the issue illegal immigration, wouldn't you start with sanctions against housing and employment providers? But I'm guessing that makes too much sense.

And now scientists are going to march!
https://gizmodo.com/why-scientists-are-planning-their-own-march-on-washingt-1791618754

Doesn't take long to get to the reason:
"It has been less than a week and there have already been funding freezes..."

Me thinks they are more concerned with the agenda-driven gravy train coming to a halt. And, of course, funding has already been frozen or flatlined for several years. It's another thread, but the global warming alarmists are really going to struggle to tread water now that they've lost WH support.

Defending the country is the federal government's main purpose.

I am glad the president recognizes that and is adhering to his constitutional duty.

What point are you trying to make here? You are just throwing out contract buzz words currently. Contract vehicles aren't the only way to procure a good/service for the government. The only thing that makes sense with what you said is it will take awhile to be procured.

I'm just spitballing and wondering how it will be procured is all. I know vehicles aren't the only tools, could be a series of contracts. Again, just guessing...
This could be the largest construction project, or series of projects, since the BRAC of 2009.

So you support BIG government.

Say it with me now "I QO, support BIG Government and I also don't think women deserve equal rights".

[h=3]Toyota To Add Jobs, Invest In Indiana Plant.[/h]Bloomberg News (1/24, Lippert) reports that Toyota Motor “will invest $600 million and add 400 jobs at an assembly plant in Princeton, Indiana,” an investment that is “part of a $10 billion spending plan over the next five years that the carmaker announced earlier this month.” The expansion in Indiana “will boost production of the Highlander” by 40,000 units a year.

Removing the handcuffs from The People, and placing them on government.

Incredibly uplifting; I am almost emotional.



Change we can really believe in ....

I doubt there are any vehicles that can satisfy this requirement.

Great! So it's still a massive public work by BIG government. I'd love to see Trump divert funds from DoD spending to build the wall then. Also needs to increase taxes to pay for it otherwise he will continue to mount up national debt and burden future generations with more BIG government spending.

Change we can believe in.
