I watched Trumps “speech” today in Long Island. It was a sad, pathetic, self-serving spectacle I wish I could soon forget. He insulted us, our police, the FBI and the treasury Department as well as the Mexican American Population. He regurgitated all his prior lies from the 2016 campaign. His “vision” of truth dramatically opposes reality and facts. Facts don’t support his version of the truth he announced so loudly and so bragedosously to the crowd gathered to hear him, most having been ordered to. It was a sad comment on the once proud office of the Presidency, when so much easily disproved information was so proudly delivered as fact.
First Lie” Crime is dropping dramatically since he became President. We are making thing safer than ever before.” The Truth is not even close:

At the current rate we will almost double any other time since this started being recorded. So Donald, It is WAY UP, not down dramatically. Records started being kept and verified in 2014. They can be seen at: http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/past-tolls
Next lie: We are deporting the bad illegal immigrants faster than anyone else ever has. MS13, the Mexican drug Cartel, is being targeted now.” The truth is this Statement is an outright lie. Fact: Trump lied about getting rid of illegal criminals. In recent years, many deported immigrants with criminal convictions had convictions only for immigration or traffic violations. Forty-seven percent of those deported in FY 2013—the most recent year for which data are available—who had a criminal conviction history were convicted of only immigration or traffic offenses. Trumps ICE crew are still pursuing these “criminals first and foremost” Traffic offenses and immigration violators are kicked out first, because they are the easiest to do. Also we treat them like there sub human. Women and Children included as most deportations are women and children. Unauthorized immigrants, including children, are not appointed counsel at the government’s expense in deportation, so they can’t fight or argue. MS13 ARE NOT being deported as fast as they were in the past. Since the first decade of the twenty-first century the gang has expanded into the Washington, D.C. area, in particular the areas of Langley Park and Takoma Park, Maryland. In 2004 the US FBI started the MS-13 National Gang Task Force. The FBI also began teaming with law enforcement in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. In 2005 the office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement started Operation Community Shield. By 2011 this operation had made over 20,000 arrests, including more than 3,000 arrests of alleged MS-13 members.
Next lie: It’s just an open door. You arrest them, then they get released to hurt more people. We keep protecting their rights. An example of the Truth: In February 2012 a Federal judge convicted three MS-13 gang members of murder. Danilo Velasquez, the former leader of the San Francisco branch of MS-13, was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 10 years, and is incarcerated at USP Hazelton. In October 2012 the US Treasury Department announced a freeze on American-owned assets controlled by the organization and listed MS-13 as a Transnational Criminal Organization. While the three leaders (José Luís Mendoza Figueroa, Eduardo Erazo Nolasco, and Élmer Canales Rivera) were imprisoned in El Salvador, they continued to give orders. As a result the US Treasury Department imposed further sanctions in 2015, allowing the government to seize all assets controlled by these men and any business with these leaders would no longer be allowed. MS 13 has been a PRIORITY Since the beginning of the Millennium. Trump has actually done far less, instead concentrating on women and Children and grandmothers and Grandfathers, splitting families who give little or no resistance at all.
Next lie: “. MS13, the Mexican drug Cartel,” Not even close Donald! According to Wikipedia: The Mara Salvatrucha gang (MS13) originated in “Los Angeles”, set up in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants in the city's Pico-Union neighborhood who immigrated to the United States after the Central American civil wars of the 1980s. Originally the gang's main purpose was to "protect Salvadoran immigrants from other, more established gangs of Los Angeles, who were predominantly composed of "Mexicans" and African-Americans." They were against Mexicans and protected Salvadorans and originated HERE in the USA! The sad part is Trump know nothing other than the Gangs name!
Next lie: “We must get more ICE agents to secure our borders and immigration better.” The truth is it will cost billions to save thousands. Like peeing in a bottle to save money on food stamps. It failed horrendously. They saved hundreds of dollars, but spent millions to do so. Immigration will do the same. Mass deportation of the unauthorized immigrant population would also cost the federal government billions of dollars. Deporting the entire unauthorized population would cost $114 billion over 20 years—an average of $10,070 per person removed—including the costs of detaining these individuals while they wait for removal, processing them through the immigration courts, and transporting them abroad. We can’t feed school kids breakfast, and old people a hot meal once a day, but we can spend 10,070 a piece to kick people out of our Country. If mass deportation of unauthorized workers were to occur, states with the most unauthorized workers would experience the largest declines in GDP. California would lose an estimated $103 billion, or 5 percent, annually. Texas would lose $60 billion, New York $40 billion, and New Jersey $26 billion. Ending DACA and kicking recipients out of the labor force would cost the United States $433.4 billion in GDP and decrease Social Security and Medicare contributions by $24.6 billion over the next decade.79 As of November 2016, 645,000 DACA recipients are employed. Through this employment, DACA has broadened the payroll tax base, increasing Social Security and Medicare contributions. Unauthorized immigrants contribute significantly to Social Security and Medicare. In 2010, unauthorized immigrants paid $13 billion into Social Security and received only $1 billion in services—a net contribution of $12 billion. Further, from 2000 to 2011, unauthorized immigrants paid $35.1 billion more into Medicare than they withdrew.
Unauthorized immigrants pay an estimated $11.7 billion a year in state and local taxes. This includes more than $7 billion in sales and excise taxes, $3.6 billion in property taxes, and nearly $1.1 billion in personal income taxes.
Also, the wall will do very little to stop drugs and illegal immigration and will cost a fortune to complete, if it can be completed. Completing the border wall would be very costly. To date, 653 total miles of fencing has been built along the southern border, including 352 miles of pedestrian fencing and 300 miles of vehicle barriers. The existing 653 miles of fence cost between $2.8 million and $3.9 million per mile, and construction costs for additional fencing could be even higher in desert areas.90 Given that the U.S.-Mexico border stretches almost 2,000 miles, completing the fence could cost upwards of $66.9 billion. So 1.6 billion is a spit in the bucket at getting it done. Mexican immigrant’s crime rates have actually dropped since 2000.
Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than the U.S.-born population. A 2017 study by the Cato Institute found that the 2014 incarceration rate for immigrants—both authorized and unauthorized—ages 18 to 54 was considerably lower than that of the U.S.-born population.30 While the foreign-born share of the U.S. population grew from 11.1 percent to 13.5 percent from 2000 to 2015, FBI data indicate that violent crime rates across the country fell 16 percent, while property crime rates fell 21 percent during the same time period.
So Donald lied and continues to lie about everything he says. Facts are easy to prove. Data is out there to check and see. He talks and makes up what he wants to make a point about. This is why the world disrespects us and laughs at us. This is why they no longer trust us or follow our lead. Mexico is going to start buying all there produce from South America, effectively destroying a large part of our farm produce sales; to teach us a lesson. “So much winning, we’ll get sick of winning” I don’t think so and I’m sick of him already, without even his first win. Time to do a Prebius Trump and resign, before it gets any worse for you.
