    "In a wide ranging phone call to Fox & Friends, President Donald Trump repeated his objection to the 2015 nuclear agreement that rolled back Iran’s nuclear program.

    "The past administration made a horrible deal giving $150 billion," Trump said April 26 on the Fox News morning show. "Giving $1.8 billion in cash — in actual cash carried out in barrels and in boxes from airplanes."

    Of the two numbers he gave, $150 billion and $1.8 billion, the first is dodgy and the second is slightly exaggerated. And there’s no evidence that barrels and boxes were involved."

    Question:
    You say that nobody tells that Obama used treasury funds for it ... so ... if not, from where came this money then please ... from the private basement of Obama where it was stored?

    Trump = Republicans lost majority in last mid terms, right? So ... before mid terms he had majority, right? So why was the funding for the wall not released during the last 2 years please, when there was no evil Dems majority?

    Years before, America froze Iranian assets because Iran was using them to fund terrorism.

    Obama unilaterally lifted the sanctions in secret so that Congress and the American people wouldn't know about the plane load of cash sent to fund terrorism until after it was over.

    Obama doubled down on his support for terrorists when he decided to use cash in several currencies including Dollars and Euros, as opposed to an electronic transfer.

    The cash payment put Americans lives in danger, but was impossible to trace, making it a bigger win for terrorists.

    You need better news sources.

    Many years ago, there was also a Republican president named Reagan, whose government after the occupation of the US Embassy and the hostage-taking of employees, as well due to their support for the Hezbollah terrorists implemented against Iran the former sanctions ... but later did not care further about and give in all secret a crap about ... and secretly made a billion-dollar business with Iran, whose profits then secretly supported the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, which was explicitly banned by the US Senate to do.

    So what was your point again ...

    The only conversion is realizing there are a lot of smarter ways to spend taxpayer money to improve the immigration problem than funding Trump's erection.

    Since you can't refute the fact that Obama sent a plane load of cash to fund terrorism, why don't you start another thread?

    Says me. Which point do you want to dispute. That Trump is the one shutting down the government or that his reason is to build a few more miles of border barriers. Are you going to claim his 5.8 is going to fulfill his campaign promise of a wall across the entire border paid for by Mexico .

    Who gave $150 Billion of American money to terrorists ?

    BTW, the US spends a whole lot more than $5 billion a year to fight terrorism. Why do you want to lower that to $5 billion ?

    Yes, Obama claimed that he was only returning Iranian 'assets' of $150 billion so they would sign the nuclear bill and stop supporting terrorism. This is foolish on the face of it and makes no sense whatsoever.

    1. And you believe that Trump paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to bribe his lovers' silence is OK?
    2. One woman came out during the campaign and said Trump pushed her up against the wall of the room the two of them were together in, and was kissing her & trying to peel off her clothes against her will. That was not consensual. But Republicans paid no attention to her, as if she didn't matter. How is that any better than Clinton? Why isn't Trump held accountable the way Clinton was?
    3. I don't.

    You do realize Hermansen is saying the same thing as Trump and disagreeing with the progressives. Perhaps you should read it again - the guy is completely correct.

    Trump didn't perjury himself in court, and use the power of the office of POTUS to deny his sexual harassment victim a fair trial.

    Next question?

    The money could be used by Trump on the southern border as he sees fit.

    And, there is absolutely zero reason to delay the other features. For example, why delay fixing our visa program until some wall is built?

    No, Trump has refused to negotiate.

    He asked Pelosi if she had decided to fold and give him his full $5.7B. When she said no, he LEFT THE ROOM!!

    The Democrats cannot be trusted. Reagan learned that the hard way on both border security and spending cuts. Build the wall first before acting on any other illegal immigration legal status or path to citizenship issue.

    He’s come down from $25B.

    Pelosi is actually dumber than I thought. She could be negotiating multiple things but seems brain frozen by the moronic far left.

    There is ZERO logic to that.

    If the 2013 were to be resurrected and passed, the executive branch would be free to use that money to build a wall.

    There would be NO POSSIBLE justification for delaying any other component of that bipartisan immigration reform bill.

    Please remember that the bill in question had multiple approaches to reducing the number who come here and stay illegally. Why would you demand that we implement only ONE of them??
