In a game of chicken....... Can't have the Secret Service detail not getting paid while Trump is golfing at Mar-a-Lago.
Maybe when Trump says Mexico is going to pay for it, he means the Mexican cartels from drug money they confiscate in the US where their criminal gangs do business?
...only if the cartels remember to give the Donald his "cut". A wannabe Godfather is a wannabe Godfather... ...a Scorsese script wouldn't have it any other way...
I'm betting he tries to have the military build the wall. I get the Democrats' position on this. No way no how would I really expect any Democrat to vote for it without some big concessions. But, honestly I don't understand the Republican opposition to it, unless it's actually on the basis of principled good governance -- which one would not expect from a politician. Do they think actually funding the wall is going to hurt them in 2020?
I am for building a mile of the wall, if the wall is built in the middle of nowhere is the best wall money can buy has a gold plated plaque stating Trump's Wall has a world class Trump gift shop for all of the American tourists who will flock to see Trump's Wall.
Dems lose the soundbite battle again "At the end of the day, we don’t want to shut down the government, we want to shut down the border."
You so sure about winning the soundbite war? Lordy, let there be tapes! trump: I am proud to shut down government over wall. Not just tape... video.
More than likely. Shift the cost to the military or something he has control over as president then steal the money meant for troops .. . and put it in to a wall If troops/vets/etc don't get paid .. . so what. . .he got his victory Rocket River
I figured we could just forego some military equipment investments. For example, the new supercarrier USS Gerald Ford cost $13 billion. So we just make do with 10 Nimitz class aircraft carriers instead of 13. Btw, looking up aircraft carrier costs really put the cost of the wall in some perspective. The Ford is state-of-the-art and the wall is an inert slab of concrete and steel. It doesn't have an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch system or an Advanced Arresting Gear system. It's not even nuclear-powered.
Nah . . .that would hurt those businesses hurting the soldier is a better option . . in trump world Rocket River
If they put an electromagnetic launch system in the wall and made it nuclear powered I'd totally flip and be pro-wall. Not sure what the utility would be, but at least the wall would be cool af.
lol...dumb asses who actually believed a big beautiful wall was going to get built AND mexico was going to pay for it!
The President is attacking the immigration front on two ends. The first is the wall. The second is making America so sh!tty and dangerous no one will want to come here anyways. This man is smart smart smart. Liberals are Sad!
