Donald Trump Reads a Statute and Attempts to Explain the Statute by Using Pretty Much the Exact Same Words That Are in the Statute

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens"

— okay, the entry of any aliens

"or of any class of aliens"

— so any aliens, any class of aliens

"into the United States"

— so the entry of people into the United States, let’s say, just to be precise, of aliens into the United States

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any alien or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States… he may by proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary…”

— so here it is, people coming in —

“suspend the entry of all aliens”

— okay, so you can suspend the aliens

right?

A Long, Confusing Sentence About Polls, and Then a Shorter Sentence About the Long, Confusing Sentence About Polls

I can read the polls

maybe better than anybody

because it seems that I understood the polls

a lot better than

many of the pollsters understood the polls

assuming they were honest polls

which I think probably many of them weren’t.

I really believe that.

No Kidding

I will say this:

We will give him a wall

And it will be a real wall

The wall is getting designed right now

A lot of people say:

Oh oh
