“Good luck with that,” Obama said in a press briefing Tuesday, citing the dangers of what he described as “half-baked notions.”
Obama told journalists that the proposal is “one more example of something that is not thought true and primarily put forward for political consumption.”
Obama warned of the ramifications such a plan would have on the Mexican economy which, in turn, would drive more immigrants to flee to the U.S. in search of jobs.
“People around the world… don’t expect half-baked notions coming out of the White House. We can’t afford that.”
According to a memo released by his campaign Tuesday, Trump would try to cut off funds sent to Mexico through money transfers known as remittances to compel its government to pay for a wall along the Southern border.
Better half-baked than totally raw like your ideas Mr. President!
That this egomaniac, who has done such harm to our formerly great country, and made us a weak laughingstock in the eyes of the world, could think he is in a position to give anyone advice, is amazing!!!!!!
Unbelievable how frum Jews hate Obama. And that is becuase Obama despises Netanyahu’s Chutzpah.
Nothing that Trump says is doable.America will be a circus if Trump becomes president.
