That's not true at all. Congress has been funding the wall for years. More than one billion was funded recently. Trump just recognizes the need to fund it faster and takes action to get it done. Congress is more talk and less action. They can't even put in a full weeks work. They flap their gums while Trump gets the job started. They will be on vacation next week while the Trump admin will be signing contracts for construction.
Oh yes. Those contracts.
Those boys are all lined up ...and pockets are respectively lined.
You're just assuming that because YOU don't want a wall that the American people don't want a wall. America elected a PRESIDENT who ran on a campaign of building a wall.
Wrong on both counts.
The majority of Americans, by some three million, voted for his opponent.
Even those who voted for him were chanting that "Mexico!" would pay for his wall.
Just in case you thought Trump was the only president to keep any promises.
One note, the article is inaccurate in that it uses the old standard of "promise kept". Under the new standard, which states that if any one part of the promise is kept (build the wall) then that counts as a promise kept even other parts weren't kept (Mexico pays for it) Under the new standard all of the ones listed as "compromise" can now be put under "promises kept" and even some of the "broken promises" can be put under promises kept.

If Trump had his way. He'd get the wall built through some means, maybe his kids that run his businesses now. Then pay nobody, or just file for another bankruptcy. Then take credit. See, I told you I would build you a wall.
And how is he actually keeping a promise on this one when he said Mexico was paying for it and he's now trying to rob us to get us all to do it?
He's a liar and a con man. This is his last hill to die on, so to speak. The man calls for an emergency and then says it wasn't really an emergency. How will this hold up in court?
Not very well if the lawyers on that case are remotely qualified.

All those democrat issues will be challenged in the courts also. Thankfully Trump has been appointing judges as fast as he can get them confirmed. Despite the democrats obstruction Trump is having great success on judge appointments. Another reason to reelect Trump.
