CONGRESS BLINDSIDES HILLARY – DEMOCRAT PLAN FOR TRUMP GETS CLINTON INSTEAD

Democrats thought they would catch Donald – but they caught Hillary.

For years we've known Trump did not collude with Russia.

But the media and hacks in Congress kept stoking the flames.

Now both houses of Congress have cleared his name.

Big surprise you didn't hear about it from the mainstream media.

But their investigations are uncovering real collusion with Russia.

And it had nothing to do with Trump.

From The Hill: Now that both the House and Senate investigative

committees have cleared Donald Trump of Democrat-inspired allegations of Russian collusion, it is worth

revisiting one anecdote that escaped significant attention during the hysteria but continues

to have U.S. security implications.

As secretary of State, Hillary Clinton worked with Russian leaders, including Foreign Minister

Sergey Lavrov and then-President Dmitri Medvedev, to create U.S. technology partnerships with

Moscow's version of Silicon Valley, a sprawling high-tech campus known as Skolkovo…

The collaboration occurred at the exact same time Bill Clinton made his now infamous trip

to Russia to pick up a jaw-dropping $500,000 check for a single speech.

SHARE to tell Trump to make Hillary pay for working with the Russians!

Clinton was deeply involved in this project.

A big donor to the Clinton Foundation, Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, led the Russian-side

of it.

Congress has discovered that the Bill Clinton speech worried State Department officials.

They uncovered emails where they were worried about the connection.

In fact, intelligence documents showed the Skolkovo project and the infamous Uranium

One deal raised serious security concerns.

But no, Trump was colluding with Russia because Hillary Clinton said so!

Just think about it, the FBI and other agencies launched costly investigations framing Trump

as some kind of traitor—over a bogus dossier that was proven to be fake.

Yet Hillary and her husband had extensive relationships with Russian agents.

Vast amounts of money were exchanged—as well as land and technology.

AND THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE INVESTIGATION.

And the media wonders why Americans chant, "Lock her up!"

It's disgusting to see that Democrats can get away with this kind of corruption.

You don't have to be a detective to see what Hillary was up to.

She was getting big bucks from Russia in exchange for our resources, land, and technology.

She later worked with Russia agents to craft a fake dossier in order to frame her political

rival.

Yet Mueller has spent over $32 million persecuting Trump and his allies.

The swamp is deep, my friends.

MUELLER GOT SERVED ,FORMER TRUMP LAWYER DROPS MASSIVE NUKE ON MUELLER - Duration: 5:44.

MUELLER GOT SERVED ,FORMER TRUMP LAWYER DROPS MASSIVE NUKE ON MUELLER

A former attorney for President Trump is predicting that when all is said and done, the Mueller

probe will end with Robert Mueller silent, and President Trump cleared of any wrongdoing.

Fox News reported that the veteran criminal defense attorney John Dowd has savaged Robert

Mueller's Russia probeas a "terrible waste of time" and questioned whether a report

will ever be produced.

Dowd, who served as a member of President Donald Trump's legal team from June 2017

until March 2018, made the explosive comments during an interview with ABC News.

"I will be shocked, if anything regarding the president is made public, other than,

'we're done'," the 77-year-old said.

The veteran criminal defense attorney who headed President Donald Trump's legal team

during a crucial stretch of the special counsel investigation believes the entire affair will

end in silence from special counsel Robert Mueller, and called the massive two-year probe

into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign "a terrible waste of time."

"I don't think there'll be a report," John Dowd told ABC News in a wide-ranging

interview for the premiere episode of "The Investigation," a new podcast focused on

the probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller.

"I will be shocked if anything regarding the president is made public, other than 'We're

done.'"

Dowd, 77, left his role as Trump's lead attorney last March over differing views about

how cooperative to be with prosecutors.

But after spending nearly a year guiding the president's legal strategy, he forged a

close relationship with Trump and continues to speak with him about the Russia probe.

In one of his most in-depth interviews since departing Trump's legal team, he offered

a view of the probe very much in line with that of the president -– namely, that it

lacks merit.

"I know exactly what [Mueller] has," Dowd said.

"I know exactly what every witness said, what every document said.

I know exactly what he asked.

And I know what the conclusion or the result is," he said, describing the sweeping efforts

by Trump's legal team to assess the case by speaking to dozens of witnesses.

Based on that knowledge, Dowd said, "there's no basis.

There's no exposure.

It's been a terrible waste of time."

Dowd's overall view of the investigation — he called it "one of the greatest frauds

this country's ever seen" — echoes Trump's claim that it is a hoax or a witch hunt.

That differs sharply from Justice Department officials, who have had a window into the

probe, which, to date, has pried guilty pleas out of five former Trump advisers, and indicted

26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, a California man (for assisting Russians in

faking their identities), another Trump adviser, and a London-based lawyer.

In appearances on Capitol Hill, a series of senior administration officials have disputed

President Trump's repeated dismissals of the probe.

"I do not believe special counsel Mueller is on a witch hunt," FBI Director Christopher

Wray told Congress in June, a sentiment shared by Rosenstein — and more recently — by

the man appointed to take over the Justice Department, William Barr.

Even acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker defended Mueller's work in an appearance

before the House Judiciary Committee last week.

"I do believe he's honest," Whitaker said of Mueller.

"I have been on the record about my respect for Bob Mueller and his ability to conduct

this investigation."

Known for his cantankerous demeanor and aggressive legal tactics, Dowd is a former Marine and

a veteran of high profile Washington investigations and legal disputes.

He helped clear Arizona Sen. John McCain's name during a 1989 corruption scandal, known

as Keating Five, involving improper influence on behalf of the savings and loan industry.

And he led the Major League Baseball investigation that resulted in a lifetime ban for Cincinnati

Reds star Pete Rose.

Trump brought Dowd in to lead his legal defense team one month after the president fired FBI

Director James Comey and Mueller was subsequently appointed to serve as the special counsel

overseeing the widening probe into Russian interference.

Dowd told ABC News that the president cooperated with the investigation, even producing communications

with the White House Counsel that Mueller requested.

"There's no time in history has anybody had this kind of look at communications with

the president," Dowd said.

Where Dowd said he drew a line in terms of executive branch cooperation was having Trump

consent to an interview.

"What I was worried about is that he really couldn't do it," Dowd said.

"He couldn't do it"

One concern was that it would set a precedent that would open the current president and

future presidents to this kind of interview.

"You cannot treat the president like anybody," he said.

But a deeper concern, he said, was that prosecutors might try to set perjury traps for the president

– a pattern he maintained was on display in the indictments that Mueller's team was

filing earlier in the investigation – cases brought against Trump advisors for lying to

investigators.

Senate Intel Committee Chair Gives Major Announcement on Trump-Russia Investigation - Duration: 3:35.

Hello and welcome, I'm Gina Shakespeare.

Today on Declassified: the Senate Intel Committee Chair says there is no evidence of Trump-Russia

collusion.

This story by our senior political reporter Ivan Pentchoukov.

After questioning more than 200 witnesses and reviewing more than 300,000 documents

over the course of two years, investigators working for the Senate Intelligence Committee

have found no evidence to support the allegation that the 2016 Trump presidential campaign

colluded with Russia.

This is according to the committee's chairman, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.).

Burr made the remarks in an exclusive interview with CBS News published on Feb. 7.

The senator shared the same conclusion with Fox News in September 2018, noting at the

time that more facts may come to light.

The House Intelligence Committee came to the same conclusion in March last year, and found

no evidence that any member of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

The committee instead discovered that the Clinton campaign paid a former foreign spy

to compile a dossier of opposition research on then-candidate Donald Trump.

The FBI then used the dossier, without due verification, to surveil a former member of

the Trump campaign.

Burr's committee unsuccessfully attempted to interview former British spy Christopher

Steele.

Burr said:

In contrast to the House committee led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Burr's committee

operated in a bipartisan fashion and only took steps that both sides agreed on.

Burr's committee also did not draw the kind of intense public attention associated with

the work of the House intelligence committee.

Burr said:

Special counsel Robert Mueller is also investigating allegations of collusion between the Trump

campaign and Russia.

Similar to the House and Senate committees, Mueller has not charged anyone for colluding

with Russia.

According to CBS, Burr has often been concerned that his committee's findings may conflict

with that of the special counsel.

He said he is not waiting for Mueller's report before releasing his own.

Burr said the conclusions of his committee's investigation won't satisfy Trump's ardent

critics or supporters.

He said.

Burr concluded by cautioning the media and the American people about false reporting.

Burr said:

That's all we have for today.

Trump Ally Paul Manafort INTENTIONALLY Lied To Mueller's Team, Court Says - Duration: 5:26.

Yesterday, a federal judge ruled, did Robert Mueller special prosecutor had presented efficient

evidence to show that former Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, intentionally lied

to the special prosecutor's office and other investigators as part of their ongoing probe.

And because the judge says Paul Manafort intentionally and deliberately lied to the prosecutors,

uh, there are no longer bound by this agreement that they had the plea deal.

So Robert Muller no longer has to come in and try to argue that Paul Manafort should

receive some kind of reduced sentence for the fraud and conspiracy charges that he was

guilty of.

So now, Paul Manafort, because of this ruling yesterday, is looking at a full prison sentence

and given his advanced age, almost 70 years old, it's likely that Paul Manafort is never

leaving a prison again for the rest of his life.

All because he chose this is according to prosecutors in this case, he chose to mislead

everyone about his connections to people in Russia who had connections to intelligence

agencies in Russia.

So the big question is, who gives a shit about Paul Manafort?

What does this mean for Donald Trump?

Right?

I know that's what everybody's wanting to know here.

Well, the answer is not a whole lot.

See, most of the things that Paul Manafort was convicted of where things that actually

happened long before he ever joined the Donald Trump campaign.

So this is not necessarily the end of the line for Donald Trump, but Manafort was cooperating

with Muller's office in order to get this reduced sentence.

So if Manafort is feeling a little, oh crap, they don't have to abide by this plea agreement

anymore, maybe I'll go ahead and shovel out every piece of information.

I know.

Stop lying to everybody and tell them everything that happened during this campaign.

Who reached out to whom were the other people were from?

What governments were they working on behalf of?

Was it Saudi Arabia was a UAE, was it Russia?

Paul Manafort might be the kind of guy who would know those kinds of things and sensing

the fact that he could be facing the rest of his life in prison.

He may be willing, if he has that info, to turn it all over to Robert Mueller in an attempt

to get them to still honor that plea deal.

However, none of this is certain at this point.

We don't know what Manafort knows.

We don't know how much he understands things.

We don't know his involvement in any of that.

So I guess basically this story gives us a much bigger question mark than we had even

before the story came out.

But we do know one thing, and this is one thing for certain, for a guy who claims that

he didn't do anything wrong, Donald Trump, he sure surrounded himself with a lot of people

who have routinely proven to be liars, thieves, and con men.

It is incredibly unlikely that Trump himself is not cut from the same cloth.

You don't surround yourself for your entire life with nothing but criminals.

If you yourself are not

also a criminal.

Donald Trump Jr. Swears Middle Class Is Getting Tax Cuts, His Supporters Disagree - Duration: 4:56.

Donald Trump Jr. is out there right now trying to convince Americans that they actually did

in fact get some of that Republican tax cut he took to Twitter yesterday.

And this was in response to all of the, uh, articles and headlines and Twitter comments

from Republicans saying that, dammit, my taxes went up after I just filed.

My refund went down.

So Trump Jr. seeing all these people blaming his father for it, decided to go on Twitter,

try to, you know, calm everyone's fears and explained to them that, no, I'm smarter than

you.

And you actually did get a tax cut.

Uh, he tweeted out this and middle-class most middle class Americans, God tax cuts, despite

smaller early refunds, the smaller refund checks, we're not indicators that taxes have

gone up for middle class families with children over 80% got tax cuts, 80%.

That's a lot.

That's, that's a big, big swath of this country.

Right.

So what's his source for this Breitbart?

Immediately after typing these words or copying and pasting them, whatever he did, he linked

to an article from Breitbart.

Well to spare you the damage.

I read the article from Breitbart, my Iq dropped a couple of points, but they will rebound

eventually, I'm sure.

Uh, there's no links in the Breitbart article.

There's nothing, there's no sources.

It doesn't say that we got this data from x, Y or z.

They're literally just making things up in saying to people, here's what happened.

Your paychecks increase last year.

That's where your tax cut was.

And, and because the IRS readjusted the way they take out taxes, that meant you weren't

overpaying your taxes.

So yeah, your refunds would be smaller because your refund only comes in when you've overpaid

your taxes.

They change the way they did the math.

So you people are too stupid to know.

You did get a tax cut.

So let us at Breitbart, let me, Donald Trump Jr. explained to you how much money you did

get.

Let me tell you something.

Donald Trump, who calls teachers losers.

Um, we didn't get tax cuts.

You asshole.

We watched our paychecks every week, every other week, whatever it was.

And they didn't change.

Last year we saw the federal withholdings and they didn't go down.

You're sitting there lying to our faces about something we see several times a month and

you think we're not smart enough to know that we didn't get a tax cut.

Luckily I don't have to be the ones to tell these, uh, to tell this stuff to Donald Trump

Jr. because everyone in his comment thread did it for him and I'm not talking about liberal

swooping in and correcting him.

I'm talking about his father's followers.

The people who say, Donald, look, I'm a real big fan of you, but you're wrong about this.

You're wrong.

You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, wrong all the

way down the Twitter feed your wrong.

And these are people that actually like him, people that actually respect him for some

reason having to correct him because they know what they see.

They know that they didn't get a tax cut.

They know their paychecks didn't increase last year, but they're seeing the refunds

decrease this year because the Republicans took away a lot of the things that we were

able to write off.

Home offices, you know, supplies for teachers, all sorts of other things.

These, these writeoffs that helped the middle class, those are gone and that's why our tax

refunds or the amount that we owe has either decreased if we were getting a refund or increased

if we owe something.

That's pretty much across the board.

Your 80% number that you pulled out a Breitbart, I guess is absolute fabrication.

It is pure fiction and you know it.

You just don't care about it because you were one of the top 0.01% of income earners who

got yourself a massive tax cut last year.

We know what our paychecks say.

We know what our tax returns say, we know what they had said the year before and the

year before and so on and so on.

Stop trying to lie to us, telling us that we got a tax cut that we know for a fact never

materialized.

Trump Official's Wife Goes Full Anti-Vaxxer – "Bring Back Our Childhood Diseases!" - Duration: 4:19.

Darla shine the wife of bill shine, who just happens to be the communications director

for the Trump White House.

Went on an unhinged Twitter rant yesterday.

Apparently after watching a clip on CNN that triggered her so much that she actually ended

up calling for the return of her childhood diseases.

Uh, here is what Miss Shine tweeted out.

Here we go.

Lol.

Measles outbreak on CNN, the entire baby boom population alive today had the measles as

kids bring back our childhood diseases, they keep you healthy and fight cancer.

Um, I don't know what Darla shine has a degree in, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that

it's not an internal medicine because yeah, guests, what?

Darla, I don't know if you've been paying attention to medical statistics and cancer

rates in the United States, but as it turns out, baby boomers can and do in fact get cancer.

Whether or not they had measles as a child or any of these other childhood diseases that

you're clamoring to come back.

Um, they still get cancer.

In fact, uh, it's one of the top three I believe, killers of not just that generation, but American

citizens in general.

And so you're going to sit there, it say that, dammit, all these people need measles so that

we don't get cancer later in life.

Um, it would be awesome if that's how it worked, but unfortunately it's not.

Now, to the other point, I guess Darla is also sitting here telling us that we should

all be anti vaccs.

Everybody needs these diseases.

Let's get as many kids sick as possible because all it's going to do is tough.

And I'm up, right?

Well, no children under the age of five and actually anyone over the age of 30 are incredibly

susceptible to the worst effects, including death from catching something like the measles,

which yes, there is an outbreak right now, uh, in the northwest because the rate of vaccination

continues to drop in those areas.

And that's all based on things that aren't actually science.

The scaremongering of the anti vaccs crowd that has no basis in actual science.

They're believing one guy who was widely discredited, proven to falsify information, stripped of

his medical license, and they somehow think that that dude who is a national and international

disgrace at this point is correct.

Well, that's not how it works.

And those people that we have catching measles, losing their hearing because of it possibly

losing their lives because of it.

That's not a good thing.

Darla, she later went on to tweet after everybody on Twitter told her how stupid she is.

She said, was waiting for the left to come after me.

As soon as I retweet a fact about Hashtag vaccines, they come after me, bring it on.

You didn't state any facts.

You said stupid jibberish and everybody calls you out for it.

Don't sit there and act like, yeah, I'm so tough.

Bring it on.

You're getting decimated.

You're getting ratioed.

Everybody is telling you what a moron you are and that science disagrees with everything

you have to say and you're standing there as if you just won some kind of combat.

You are losing.

Do you understand that?

And the saddest part is I don't think she does.

I honest to God, don't believe that this woman has enough intelligence in her to understand

that not only is she wrong about all the facts, but that everyone in her comment thread is

making fun

of her.

You can't stop -- [ Cheers and applause ]

I mean, you can't stop a tunnel with a wall.

[ Laughter ]

You could build a wall around Manhattan 50 feet high,

and people will still drive in from Jersey

and get in everyone's way.

[ Laughter and applause ]

"There's been a Jersey breach." [ Laughter ]

During a private event last night,

former New Jersey governor Chris Christie

reportedly listed off multiple jobs that he rejected

in President Trump's administration.

And we actually got our hands on a copy of that list.

[ Laughter and applause ]

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day,

where children all around the world learn to knock first.

[ Audience oohs ]

[ Laughter and applause ]

And finally, a new investigative report claims

that Chuck E. Cheese restaurants save uneaten portions of pizzas,

combine the leftovers, and then serve them to other customers

Which is honestly the best-case scenario

at a pizza chain run by a rat.

Trump Says He's Not Happy with Deal to Avoid Shutdown: A Closer Look - Duration: 10:38.

Lawmakers have reached a deal

to avoid another government shutdown,

but President Trump says he's not happy with it.

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

♪♪

If there's one thing we've learned about Donald Trump

in the two years he's been president,

it's that you can't negotiate with him,

which is ironic considering that was his whole thing

he was supposed to be --

a great dealmaker who could bring everyone together.

Although, even during the campaign,

there were hints that he didn't really know

what he was talking about.

-With Congress, you have to get everybody in a room,

and you have to get them to agree,

but you have to get them to agree what you want,

and that's part of being a dealmaker.

You have to get people in, grab them, hug them, kiss them,

and get the deal done,

but it's got to be the deal that you want.

-What are you talking about?

I mean, we all know you didn't write "The Art of the Deal,"

but did you not even read it?

I mean, I'm just imagining Trump chasing Chuck Schumer

around the Oval Office trying to hug him.

"Come here, Chuck!

We got to make a deal, Chuck!"

[ Applause ]

Now...

if Trump kissed Mitch McConnell, on the other hand,

he might finally turn into a prince.

[ Laughter ]

Also, what you're describing is not a deal.

What you're describing is a Benny Hill sketch...

which is, I guess, why you have the same hair.

This keeps happening.

For two years, Trump has said in public

that he wants to make a deal, but then, in reality,

he has neither the ability to negotiate, nor the interest.

For example, you might remember

that after Trump unilaterally subjected the country

to the longest government shutdown in history,

forcing workers to go without paychecks,

he claimed the one thing he had gotten in his deal

with the Democrats was an agreement

to negotiate over the wall, although, as usual,

he was very hung up

on what words we should use to describe the wall.

-I have seen and heard from enough Democrats and Republicans

that they are willing to put partisanship aside.

They have said they are for complete border security,

and they have finally and fully acknowledged

that having barriers, fencing, or walls,

or whatever you want to call it...

-How can you negotiate for something

when you don't even know what it is?

You know, people say Trump doesn't work very hard,

but he's clearly spent a lot of time sitting in his office,

typing the word "wall" into a thesaurus.

"Call it whatever you want.

Barriers, fencing...

fortifications...

enclosures...

parapets."

So, that was Trump's big announcement after the shutdown,

that lawmakers from both sides would get together

and come up with a deal that would avoid

another government shutdown by the end of the week.

So how's that going? Well, on Monday night,

Trump was asked for an update on the negotiations

during an interview on Fox News

and said he wasn't following the negotiations

because he was spending his time doing interviews on Fox News.

-Mr. President, word broke late today, early this evening

that there might be some tentative deal struck

to avert a government shutdown.

What can you tell us?

-Well, I can tell you that a lot of things have changed,

and we'll see what happens.

I can't go into the exact deal.

I just heard it very quickly, coming over to see you.

It was between the deal and you, and I had to choose you.

-He literally said,

"I had a choice between running the government

and going on Fox News, and I chose Fox News."

No quote has ever summed up Trump's presidency

better than that.

Also, anyone can get on Fox News.

It's not some exclusive high-end night club.

Last week, they put this guy on TV to talk about healthcare.

-I have eternal healthcare, and it's free.

Doctors can give you a little temporary reprieve,

but they cannot save you from physical death.

The doctors who treat you, they die, too.

-That guy wasn't even in New York.

They just brought a camera to his shack in the woods.

So, Trump made a big show of championing the bipartisan talks

after he caved in the shutdown fight,

and now he says he's not even paying attention to them,

which might explain why when he found out that the deal

didn't have any money for a concrete border wall yesterday,

he said he wasn't happy with it.

Although, he didn't even really seem to know

what he wanted or what he was upset about.

-Sir, will you sign Congress' border deal?

-I have to study it. I'm not happy about it.

It's not doing the trick, but I'm adding things to it,

and when you add whatever I have to add,

it's all going to happen.

-He has all the specificity of a "Real Housewives" promo.

"When you add whatever I have to add, it's all going to happen."

[ Applause ]

I mean, I hope he's never the only eyewitness to a crime.

"Yeah, it was a person somewhere between 3 and 10 feet tall.

Two legs. Oh, and clothes! He had clothes on. Or she."

Trump talks about the wall like he just ran into one.

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Every few months -- Every few months,

we have to go through this exhausting ritual

where we pretend the President actually knows

what he's talking about, even though it's clear he doesn't.

The negotiations over the wall

are just like the negotiations over healthcare in 2017

when Trump kept saying he wanted Democrats

to work with him on the GOP healthcare bill

but also made clear he had no idea

what was in the GOP healthcare bill.

-We had to go with the healthcare first,

and we're doing well.

I think we're going to have some great surprises.

We are looking at a healthcare

that would be a fantastic tribute to our country,

a healthcare that will take care of people finally

for the right reasons and also at the right cost.

This will be a plan where you can choose your doctor.

This will be a plan where you can choose your plan,

and you know what the plan is.

This is the plan.

"I call it... the plan, plan, plan."

Every time he talks about something complicated,

it's like an episode of "Seinfeld"

where George is trying to get fired.

"I have a plan, Jerry!" "What's the plan?"

"It's a plan where you can choose your plan!"

"And you think you'll get away with this plan?"

"That's the plan!" "Well, that's a hell of a plan."

[ "Seinfeld" theme plays ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yesterday, Trump tried to argue

that the wall was already being built, which is not true.

And he even claimed he was making old sections of the wall

look beautiful by repainting them.

-We're getting a beautiful-looking structure,

because it was crazy what they were putting up.

In fact, I happen to think that the walls

that they were building were so unattractive and so ugly,

that walls got bad names, okay, if that means anything.

-No, it doesn't. It doesn't mean anything to us.

Walls didn't have bad names.

Walls had no names.

Before you showed up, we never talked about walls at all.

And we certainly never chanted about them.

Trump then continued to insist that the wall was being built

while simultaneously complaining that he was mad that Congress

wasn't giving him money to build the wall.

And it was impossible to follow.

See if you understand what he is talking about here.

-I can tell that you that -- Am I happy at first glance?

I just got to see it.

The answer is, no, I'm not. I'm not happy.

But am I happy with where we're going? I'm thrilled.

Because we're supplementing things

and moving things around,

and we're doing things that are fantastic.

-In the span of 20 seconds, he went from saying

he was not happy to saying he was thrilled

to saying he was doing things that are fantastic.

If we just let him keep talking,

he'll say he's building the wall, he built the wall, everyone loves the wall,

and he's moving to the southern border

to live in a one-bedroom apartment with his best friend, The Wall.

We're going to film it for a TV show and call it "Wall and Grace."

[ Cheers and applause ]

We are in this situation because Trump sold his supporters

an obvious lie he had no intention of keeping,

and now he's desperately trying to save face.

For example, now he's just lying

and saying the wall is already getting built.

In fact, he even said recently that his supporters should start

chanting "finish the wall" rather than "build the wall."

But judging from his rally in Texas on Monday,

his supporters didn't exactly hear the news.

-We're building the wall. A lot of it has --

I mean, the chant now should be "finish the wall"

as opposed to "build the wall."

'Cause we're building a lot of wall.

-Build that wall! Build that wall!

Build that wall! Build that wall!

-Even your supporters know that you haven't started the wall.

Because they know, if you had,

Fox News would have a camera pointed at it 24/7,

and the foreman on the job would be the fourth Fox and Friend.

[ Laughter ]

In fact, after that chant -- after that chant,

Trump tried to tell the crowd that they were wrong.

-You really mean "finish that wall,"

because we've built a lot of it. It's "finish that wall."

-He's like the world's [bleep] hypnotist.

"You're a chicken." "What are you talking about?"

"Stop talking. Chickens don't talk."

This is the lesson of Trump's presidency so far.

You can't negotiate with someone

who inhabits a different reality than you do.

Trump spends all day digesting lies from Fox News.

Fox News, in turn, reinforces his alternate reality.

In fact, Fox News has been insisting for weeks

that even though Trump didn't get any money for his wall,

in the end he'll find a way to win.

-Anyone out there, by the way,

thinking President Trump caved today,

you don't really know the Donald Trump I know.

He right now holds all the cards.

-I think the President's probably going to say,

"You know what? I'm going to take that number right there.

$1.4 billion for 55 miles of border wall."

And then I bet he's got something up his sleeve.

-If Trump ever has anything up his sleeve,

it's a cheeseburger that somehow got stuck there.

He just hasn't found it yet.

"What the hell is -- Ohh! Hello, friend!"

Trump sold his voters an obvious lie

that he had no intention of keeping,

and now he's concocting more lies to justify the original lie.

He's never going to get his wall.

He doesn't even have a plan for getting his wall.

If you ask him to describe his plan, he'd say...

-You know what the plan is. This is the plan.

-This has been "A Closer Look."

Bricky the Border Wall Rallies Trump Supporters in El Paso | The Daily Show - Duration: 5:47.

Donald Trump's border wall.

It's been keeping Congress busy for months.

But just this week, they finally made a deal

to give Trump $1.4 billion

for 55 miles of new barriers.

Yes. And they also threw in $50

to get Trump a pair of, uh, throat panties.

Yeah, it's like, "Fantastic.

Now I can finally cover up my neck vagina."

Now, remember, $1.4 billion

is a lot less than Trump originally wanted.

So the question is, is this enough money for the wall?

Well, who better to ask this question to

than the official mascot for Donald Trump's border wall,

Bricky the Border Wall, everybody!

(cheering and applause)

-Welcome back, Bricky! -Oh!

Thanks, Trevor!

Build the me! Build the me!

Well, we-we don't do that chant here, Bricky.

Um, thanks for joining us again.

Bricky, how are you feeling about this new funding deal?

Well, I'm getting a billion dollars, Trevor.

I'm so excited,

I'm hard as concrete right now! Ooh!

Well, it's-it's actually funny you mention concrete, Bricky,

because, uh, the bill actually says

that the wall might be made out of steel slats.

So it might not even be a wall-wall.

Oh, well, I'm not prejudiced, Trevor.

I don't care if you're steel, concrete,

or asbestos.

I don't see building materials.

The important thing is we all come together

and keep out those goddamn dirty Mexicans.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Bricky. -Oh, oh.

Sorry. I shouldn't have said "goddamn."

N-No, I've told you--

your xenophobia is not welcome at the show.

Well, you know where it is welcome?

At a Donald Trump rally,

which is why I went down to his Build the Wall rally

in El Paso this week.

Check it out. Woo-witty-woo!

Hi, friends!

I'm Bricky, the big, beautiful wall,

or Mr. Bricks, if you're nasty.

I'm here in El Paso with thousands of patriots.

(whoops)

Hey, you can't just walk around me.

You're making me feel like I'm a big waste of money.

Oh, goddamn it!

And we're all here to see our president.

-El Paso, thank you very much. -(cheering)

No, thank you, Mr. President.

You see, President Trump and his supporters

understand exactly

why we need to build me!

That's what we need, to keep all the...

illegals out.

You don't know who the people are.

They could be a terrorist or something, you know?

-Mixed-- You know what I mean. -Yeah.

Some of 'em may even have hooks as hands!

Yeah. Yeah, very true.

I heard, when there was no wall, immigrants would just swim

across the Ariana Grande

-and be right here in El Paso? -Oh, yeah.

I met a man two week ago that work--

is working construction on the wall in New Mexico.

He watched 180 people,

all dressed in black,

with black on their face and weapons,

start coming across the border.

Oh, great!

Now Mexico has ninjas?

What percentage of that caravan do you think works for ISIS?

(spookily): Ooh...

I also heard about the illegal passports

that Venezuela was selling,

selling a bunch to ISIS,

letting-letting them believe that those people

were-were, uh, Hispanic when they're not.

I can't wait for these ISIS guys to join a caravan

and walk over 1,000 miles

but then they'd give up when they see me, the wall!

-Yes! Yes! -Right?

You betcha!

But don't worry.

Trump's people have some bold ideas

of how we can build the perfect me!

The beauty of the wall we're gonna build

-is it's gonna be harder to get over. -Yeah.

Especially when it has some beautiful barbed wire

on top, like that. Electrified would be great.

They also have glass, broken glass.

There's all kinds of solutions!

Well, I've actually been to Israel,

and I've seen the concrete barriers

between, um, Israel and the West Bank.

I never saw a single person scale that wall, so...

It's not like they have any problems, am I right?

Oh, woo-woo-woo!

What about all them Dumb-ocrats

that say illegal immigrants are gonna climb under the wall?

Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa.

These people are full of great ideas.

Just one problem:

those liberals in Congress

are only giving our president one billion dollars.

They're stiffing Trump

like he's one of his own contractors.

But you know who's really gonna pay for the rest?

Mexico!

How is Trump gonna get Mexico to pay for me?

You got all the drug cartel money.

You take it away at the border, all them drugs

and all that money that gets confiscated.

Yeah! Sell some drugs to fund me.

(a la Scarface): Say hello to my little plan.

How is Mexico gonna pay, Gary?

Tax on the border for, uh, goods coming in.

-Okay. -Tariffs.

But what about the dumb Democrat idea

that putting a tariff on an import

actually hurts the country that receives it, right here?

That's absolutely fake news.

It must be nice to just say things are fake news, right?

Yeah. Absolutely, it is.

Don't worry! Mexico will pay for these!

Goo-goo-goo-goo!

And after they asked me to leave the rally...

But you're separating me from my family!

...I just had one last stop

on my journey to the borderland.

I love your work!

Only 1,200 miles of me to go!

A-boobity-boo!

Thanks so much, Bricky the Border Wall.
