30. There's this guy who advertises timeshare cancellation on the SiriusXM sports channels...

...who says a timeshare is "the only thing you can buy that you can't tell me what it's gonna cost or when it's gonna end."

I think we've found another thing.

With a little creative accounting, these people can blow through $86 billion just to set up the system for deporting undocumented immigrants...before they manage to kick even one undocumented immigrant out of the country. And then, naturally, we'll need to spend another $50 billion a year to actually go out and look for undocumented immigrants to kick out of the country.

How much of that money is going to wind up in Trump's pocket, I wonder.

Just so you know: for the money Tom Homan is demanding as a down payment on this program the United States Navy could buy two Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers, three Virginia-class fast attack submarines and 20 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers...without spending the entire $86 billion.
