Trump asked that question to see if the Democrats were still playing games. We all know that in the past these same Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer, voted for, endorsed and lobbied to build a wall/fence, increase border security. They all made speeches condemning illegal immigration and calling for enforcing our laws to stop it.
So, when they say "no," to the very things they were proponents for, Trump knows they are still playing politics and it's a waste of time to talk to these scumbags.
They are saying NO to a WALL that even Trump cannot outline how it would work; where it would work; where it will be; what it will be made of.
WTF kind of proposal is that?
WHAT has he done with the money he got LAST YEAR - has he put that toward a wall? No. He used it to build ridiculous prototypes to keep his base happy.
NOW we have seen just how ineffective those prototypes are.
Congressional Dems have as much power to end the government shutdown as Trump does.
Why didn't the Republicans build the wall when they were in power? The Dems only came into office one week ago. Answer: Not even the Republicans wanted the wall. The GOP rejected funding on the wall even before the midterms when they were the majority and Trump went along with their decision. So don't pin the blame on the Dems. The blame falls squarely on Trump.
So why is this fight happening on of all things the “wall”?
Its a fight of globalism vs nationalism
You see if theres a wall people have to ask for asylum in mexico. If there is no wall but are other forms of border protection (drones etc) the illegals get to request asylum on usa land. This starts the clock on them being released in the usa. It is all about globalist goals of many in both parties to have a global government.
Agree, but I think it's more about importing more Democrat voters since they are losing blacks.

Exactly! And trump pushed ahead now because he can somehow convince his low information base that it is the democrats fault.
No. This is about Trump trying to save face to his measly base. Nothing more.
"I was elected to take the power away from Washington DC and give it back to you, THE PEOPLE" - Donald J. Trump: The 45th President of the United States of America.
This post is what someone illiterate about the process would say.
The process is that spending bills begin in the legislative branch, not in the executive branch. People who are ignorant of the powers laid out in the Constitution don't understand how things work. Thanks for demonstrating that.

Perhaps for some of those backing him, however, Trump is not nearly that sophisticated. It is red meat for his base and a big ego feed for his already enormous ego.

He's already admitted as much.
