(42,770 posts)In construction, he should be very familiar with questions like this. Hell..maybe he should have every Apprentice contestant with him in WH to help him think.

(42,770 posts)and takes politics out of it. It also will show his request is bullshit if he doesnt.
I bet trump has presented information like this dozens of times in the private sector while pitching various construction projects. He must be thinking hes reached the top now and can just say, I want this.

(17,984 posts)He could hire people who do understand it, but that takes time and money. Judging by what we know so far about what he has done, he obtained only the bare minimum information. I mean, look at how he got them to construct various model wall sections. He's already looking toward the end without considering any of the prerequisite studies. I don't even know (though I highly doubt) if he consulted with any scientists about the ecological effects. Now we have agencies screaming at him that the damned wall will disrupt the butterflies. And we know about that only because the wall with cut directly through the butterfly preserve. How many unstudied ecosystems will be imperiled? And that is considering building the wall is even possible! He would not care if half of the wall toppled over within a year of its completion.

(42,770 posts)Since hes king now, none of it applies to him anymore...hes above everyone. Crazy
So what do you think will happen in the next three weeks? He still doesnt have any leverage.
