White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Trump is serious about possibly closing the U.S.-Mexico border this week

"I’ll just close the border," he added. "When you close the border, also you will stop a lot of the drugs from coming in."

She also defended the president's decision to cut off aid to the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Trump has claimed the governments of those countries had "set up" migrant caravans for entry into the United States.She brushed off the suggestion that ending aid would worsen life in those countries and cause more people to head for the United States.

"This is the classic case of what may happen ... versus what’s right in front of us," Conway said, adding that people in those countries are already facing "deplorable" conditions.

There will be a millennial uprising if they don't get their avacado toast.

If he can close the border, why does he need the wall?

Stop talking about closing the boarder, just do it !

The only thing Trump could do with closing is his mouth 👄🤗🤗🤗

We know that Trump is not bluffing because we have already seen numerous times how realDonaldTrump will do just about anything to impress his base.

Cutting funding to 3 central america countries is smart. If all their people are on the way to U.S.we need those $ to support them

Rightfully so. Close it until every one goes back from where they came from. Use all social means available that the border is closed until further notice. To the caravans to stop and turn around. Demand a refund sand turn in the person tyou paid money to.

HE WOULDNT DARE!

The more he acts out the better chance we rid ourselves of him

That will solve nothing and cost billions

Maybe Kellyann can delegate that everything go smoothly from the southern side, if we have a shut down. No cross overs after it has been closed.🤣🤣🤣

Fine. Go ahead and close the border with Mexico. Keep it closed for a year or so. This should really solve a lot of problems and help all of the people and businesses in the U.S. and Mexico. Or, extend the shutdown up to the 2020 election, Big Guy.

KellyannePolls No it will not be Congress who closes the border. I believe Trump has made it perfectly clear he will close the border. Blaming Congress is just horse shit.

Trump can close the border for 3-4 days. Time after that will cost the US millions - then billions! Trumps mouth is much larger than the US Treasury’s check book!

😄

Let Him....

Trump can’t decide how many Mexico’s there are or which Mexican countries trump is shutting down thief borders?

Smart people bluff occasionally.

Then why do we need a wall?

Good!

What would any of us do if 100,000 people showed up at our door demanding food, water, housing, clothing, medical care, diapers for their babies, toiletries, interpreters, schools for the children, jobs, English language education, etc? What the fuck is going on? Hello, Congress?

Of course that will make the problem worse, but he. Ever fails to create a good crisis.

I double dog dare him!!

Well, KellyannePolls talk is cheap. Tell realDonaldTrump to put up for shut up. The more you bluff, the more not one believes you. But you know you make the problem worse with every move except the right one.

There goes his growth for the next quarter. The day he closes it the stock market will drop

Teram323Tere

NRA would never let it happen. Too many guns sold to trade for Mexican drugs.

Which one of the 3 borders is he threatening to close?

GO HOME AND SUPPORT YOUR HUSBAND!!!!!!!

I live on New Mexico and the only way to stop the boarder crossings here with our Socialist Governor is for the federal Government to step in and shut it down!

If Trump 'closes' the border, it's 100% HIS fault, KellyannePolls Perhaps your husband can explain it to you better...

And I'm not bluffing when I say it will be even more stupid than the TrumpShutdown.

He may not be bluffing, but whether or not it can effectively be “closed” is a different matter. Like everything else Trump touches, there will be massive failures.

But what about our borders with all the other Mexican countries?

The great and powerful Oz is drunk on power!

Sound like he knows how to bluff

I agree, Trump actually is that short sighted, arrogant and foolish.

Hey KellyannePolls!!! TELL YOUR ORANGE BLOWHOLE TO QUIT THREATENING & CLOSE THE BORDER ALREADY!!! realDonaldTrump DOESN'T HAVE A HAIR ON HIS A** IF HE DOESN'T CLOSE IT TOMORROW!!!

Just do it.

Anyone notice she is getting bags under her eyes.

Cutting off aid and closing the border will surely solve the immigration crisis. Very “smart”

Trump is not bluffing! He's buffooning!

I do think he is too bluffing. He doesn't have the cojones to disrupt global trade.

Prove it

It makes me sad that he he is harming the global supply chain economics of our system.

So if he can do that, why do we need a wall?

As much as I dislike the president. I think his poorly communicated idea would cause harm to American Corporations.

Let’s put Military bases Lining the southern border Permanently. This week is supposed to be an all high for illegal alien crossing.

Wretched woman. Horrible admin.

Yes but with which Mexico?

This whole border mess is self inflicted by the Trump Administration & his Republican Congressional enablers

Yeah, he is bluffing KellyannePolls you dope.

Will cost the USA billions in trade and hurt economy 😂

The insane never see reality as it is,-----only as they imagine it.

let him do it. neither he, nor his administration have any idea of the consequences. some idiots have to fall really hard.

Because he’s CREATING his NATIONAL EMERGENCY! Within 2 weeks he’ll be demanding $10BILLION for his wall!

And he’s stupid enough to do it.

KellyannePolls If DJT is foolish enough to close the border, he will own it, just like the government shutdown. Voters have long memories, especially when it's measured in $$ and ¢¢, and $150 billion flows through that border EVERY DAY. Go ahead, make our day!

And what´s next?

Sooner or later we will have a recession. President Obama’s recovery, like every other recovery, can’t last forever. I want to see a recession and a recovery before I have to start my RMD. I dare tRump realDonaldTrump to close the border!

Perhaps when the Democrats stop getting their blueberries from Mexico they will wake the freak up and march.

Go right ahead Trump !! He's getting close to the edge of insanity and we need to let him go over that edge !

To deflect from Mueller report

Sure he’s not. I DARE realDonaldTrump to close it. Then see what happens.

Does anyone really want to hear what Kellyanne Conway says? Americans should just want to hear truth. Why would any American want to get pulled into division amongst each other? Debating policy differences w/ diff views, yes. But this playground behavior is beyond embarrassing!

Which Mexico?

it will ruin him in the end

Well then stop talking and just do it..... we're good with another dumb move. Never going to win 2020 with such bright moves like that. Lol

Yes let’s close one of the largest trading partners border. It’s not like we are talking about billions of dollars at stake.

Stop giving money. Close the borders. Ban all Muslims. Shut down the Government. He always goes to the extreme, no matter the trouble it causes, expense involved, the work that people have to do to try to undo the harm he caused, the lives he puts in jeopardy, the laws he breaks.

Yeah right, not bluffing- then he’ll say he’s a hero for not doing it- same old, same old

Hey, stop screwing around and attrack the caravan. You say they are a threat? Do your constitutional duty and neutralize the threat otherwise be humane and follow the law and give them dignaty as immigrants.

'Trump’s trade war with China is a huge issue in Iowa. The tariffs have slammed the state's soybean industry, a big part of IA’s economy. Iowa State Un. last year projected the tariffs could cost the state’s farmers up to $2.2 billion in revenue.” Here we go!

i would hope its no bluff

Do you really trust this POTUS to handle this problem- he seems out of his depth.

If you can close the border, why is a wall needed to stop immigration?

'Alternative Facts'

KellyannePolls, so you know how the economy is going good? Yeah, so, shut down the border and give it a couple days. You think the Dow sucks now? Hohoho, Monday is going to suuuuuuuuck.

KellyannePolls always tells the truth

Blah, blah, blah. Even his base is getting sick of the red meat. How many times is this idiot gonna go to the well?

Go for it.

This woman is not a credible source. It is irresponsible to quote or feature her in any serious fact-based conversation. She is click-bait, plain and simple. And you are only spreading propaganda.

First the government, now the border... All because he can't shutdown the Southern District of New York...

RealDonaldTrump is drunk with power..and the thing is, he really doesn't know how to use power wisely...never really has known.

Let the Fool close the USA-Mexico border! Do it Donny!!! Stalled trade with China....$1.8 BILLION a day with Mexico, POOF. Yeah Yeah, that will help Trump's economy...you know, the debt infested one!!! BE THE BULLY!!!

creating yet another crisis, this time its economic, all car manufacturers will be in bad shape.

She makes my ears bleed 😖

For once, I agree with this eminent philosopher; Trump’s just crazy enough to try such a stupid stunt. Reminds me of the comedy gag where someone takes himself hostage.

Understand that these corrupt Central American governments are aiding and abetting these criminals in order to fill their pockets with more disposable cash. Cutting aid is the least we should do.

Which one of the three Mexico's borders?

He already cause the current situation in the border, which is becoming an International Human Crisis...And he will make it worst..He doesn't care. Trump is a person without empathy for other humans or plain simply Earth as a whole..and that is a fact.

Someone needs attention!

So he will risk damaging the US economy to continue his war on defenseless immigrants.

Close off the continent! Pull the plug on the Pacific? To cut off the China trade war. Then the Atlantic? That will show them. Our so-called parasite friends. Shut it all down. Everyone's fired. Build the wall. 'I'm not kidding,' the fearful god roars.

oooh. first she said he’s serious and now he’s not bluffing 🤪

And by doing so Trump will be inviting RUSSIA/CHINA to walk right into these countries & provide the aid we don't. Then soon we will start seeing aerial photos of naval bases being built. Then one day we see aerial photos of missile silos just like we did in Cuba, then what?

Shut It Down!

He certainly does understand “wind”

Sure, KellyannePolls . Like he wasn’t lying about Mexico paying for the wall either. He lies about everything all of the time. And if he tries to just down the border, he’ll get sued. Because it illegal - and he knows that. It’s all bluster for his cult.

Trump's legacy will be known as the darkest in America history, an Administration of corruption and greed and of very low moral standards?

Trump is not a President he's a con artist.

KellyannePolls Any chance he can close the NJ/PA border, as well? Keep those Eagles/Flyers fans where they belong. Tx in advance.

He shouldn’t. The number of illegals crossing is ridiculous and congress doesn’t want to do anything about it

ManufacturedCrisis

We know, he clearly read the 'how to be a dictator' handbook. This is straight from chapter 4: 'Pandering to racists while simultaneously convincing the idiots that the other poor people are the reason they are poor.'

Oh, you mean unlike all the other times when his words amounted to pretty much nothing. OK then.

Trump doesnt have that power, Constitution says.

Good. It's getting way too hectic down there right now.

And Mexico was paying for the wall, NK was denuclearizing, and no one talked to Russians.

Alternative Wind Bag.
