Donald Trump HAD been running on the idea that he would get $5 Billon to erect a Great Wall made of steel along the entire border of American and Mexico….
First he said he’s get Mexico to pay for the thing…..
THAT ain’t gonna happen….
NOW he wants you and me to pay for it with our tax dollars…..
Democrats and some Republicans are dead set against giving this guy that much money for something so stupid and a demand by rightwingnut media people…(The guy says he’s gonna close the border if he doesn’t get his “Wall’!)
Soooooo?
We now have a fallback position coming from the mouths of the Trump surrogates ….
“Oh, We’re NOT talking about a wall….We’re talking about fencing and other things like just sensors?’…..
Hmmmmm?
Anybody doubt that if Congress relents and gives him $10 , he’s gonna call it ‘Wall’ money?
Remember ….
This guy is a serial liar….
The border wall is one of President Trump’s best known campaign promises, and it’s the reason we’re in a partial government shutdown — but the Associated Press has a good roundup of comments by White House officials and allies that suggest it might end up being less than a complete physical wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Between the lines: It’s not surprising that Trump allies would float ideas to negotiate Trump’s promise down to something he just calls a wall. But given how important Trump’s promise is to his supporters, nothing will be resolved until Trump himself signs off on something less.
