Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: MATH: Queen Ann Gives Us Trump’s Unfathomable Failure by the Numbers There is a lot of emotion surrounding Trump. For all of us, myself included. People want to make excuses for him, or they want to lash out against him irately like a woman, or whatever. Virtually all discussion of Trump is based purely on emotion. But in her latest column, Queen Ann has invited us to take a step back and consider the math. The math is not good. Ann Coulter: TRUMP BY THE NUMBERS! No editorializing, no invective, no opinion. ** ** ** NUMBER OF MILES OF WALL BUILT ON OUR SOUTHERN BORDER SINCE TRUMP HAS BEEN PRESIDENT: ZERO. ** ** ** NUMBER OF MILES OF FENCE, BOLLARD, OR GARDEN TRELLIS BUILT ALONG OUR 2,000-MILE BORDER SINCE TRUMP HAS BEEN PRESIDENT: 26. ** ** ** NUMBER OF TIMES TRUMP HAS CLAIMED ON TWITTER HE’S ALREADY BUILDING THE WALL: 16 BY MY COUNT. ** ** ** NUMBER OF TIMES TRUMP HAS COMPLAINED ON TWITTER THAT CONGRESS WON’T GIVE HIM FUNDS TO BUILD THE WALL THAT HE SAYS HE’S ALREADY BUILDING: AT LEAST 30 BY MY COUNT. ** ** ** NUMBER OF WALL “PROTOTYPES” DESTROYED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: ALL OF THEM. ** ** ** NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS ENDING THE ANCHOR BABY SCAM — AS TRUMP PROMISES WHENEVER AN ELECTION IS COMING: ZERO. ** ** ** NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED BY TRUMP RESCINDING OBAMA’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN “DREAMERS”: ZERO. ** ** ** NUMBER OF ILLEGAL ALIENS WHOSE PRESENCE HAS BEEN EXCUSED BY TRUMP: 11 TO 50 MILLION (depending on whether you believe the propaganda or the facts). ** ** ** NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS OF THE E-VERIFY SYSTEM TO PREVENT ILLEGALS FROM BEING HIRED OVER AMERICANS: ZERO. ** ** ** NUMBER OF H1-B FOREIGN WORKERS IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN TRUMP TOOK OFFICE: APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION. ** ** ** NUMBER OF H1-B FOREIGN WORKERS IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY: APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION. ** ** ** NUMBER OF ASYLUM LOOPHOLES CLOSED: ZERO. ** ** ** NUMBER OF TOP-LEVEL ADMINISTRATION JOBS OFFERED TO IMMIGRATION CONTROLLERS WHO ARE NOT NAMED “STEPHEN MILLER”: ZERO. ** ** ** NUMBER OF TOP-LEVEL ADMINISTRATION JOBS OFFERED TO MEMBERS OF THE KOCH BROTHERS’ OPEN BORDERS NETWORK: FIVE THAT I KNOW OF. ** ** ** NUMBER OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL TRYING DESPERATELY TO IMPLEMENT TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION AGENDA WHOM TRUMP MOCKED AND FORCED OUT OF OFFICE: ONE. ** ** ** Apart from immigration, probably the single most important campaign promise Trump made was to end the carried interest loophole. Most Republicans would break out into a cold sweat if asked to raise taxes on George Soros. FINALLY, we had a Republican (or Democrat) who wasn’t beholden to Wall Street! During the campaign, Trump said this tax scam allowed hedge fund managers to “get away with murder” and vowed to eliminate it. Americans who hadn’t voted for 30 years said: How do I register to vote? Let’s take out the slide rule! ** ** ** NUMBER OF CARRIED INTEREST LOOPHOLES ELIMINATED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP: ZERO. ** ** ** TOTAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS IN 2016 GIVEN BY GOLDMAN SACHS TO HILLARY CLINTON: $388,000. ** ** ** TOTAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS GIVEN BY GOLDMAN SACHS TO TRUMP: $5,607 (or 70 times less than Goldman gave to Hillary). ** ** ** NUMBER OF GOLDMAN SACHS EMPLOYEES PUT IN TOP ADMINISTRATION POSITIONS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP: 7 — or “more than Presidents Bush and Obama combined.” (For someone unable to fulfill the most basic of his immigration promises, Trump has been amazingly competent in accomplishing the things Wall Street wanted, but no one else did.) ** ** ** NUMBER OF ACTIONS TAKEN TO DEFEND THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF TRUMP’S BIGGEST SUPPORTERS BEING DEPLATFORMED AND CENSORED, SUCH AS MILO YIANOPOLOS, GAVIN MCINNES, LAURA LOOMER, AND ALEX JONES: ZERO. ** ** ** PERCENTAGE OF THE BASE THAT TRUMP CAN AFFORD TO LOSE IN 2020, AFTER MILLIONS OF OLDER, WHITER AMERICANS HAVE DIED OFF, AND MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS HAVE TURNED 18 AND BEGUN VOTING: ZERO. Now that… that is pretty gosh-darn damning. And the most important thing here, more important than any of these other problems, is that he simply cannot win in 2020. It is not possible. It doesn’t matter who the Democrats put up, they will win, because Trump has literally abandoned all of his supporters in pursuit of an entirely new agenda that no one even understands. He isn’t even bothering to use rhetoric. He is just saying “this is about Israel, we’re stopping socialism, we’re going to have more immigrants than any time in history because of factories.” He’s not even making a nod to the base. Or a nod to anyone other than Jews and big businesses who want more immigrants. The good news is, we now have a candidate that knows math. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
