Name how it's his fault that the wall hasn't been built yet! Did he ever give a time line on it? He will still be in office for several more years.

Its honestly impossible to reason with lefties.

It's crazy, isn't it? I have supplied numerous links in here on so many things that debunk these lefty's BS and lies and yet they still remain in denial. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Sorry, I guess you are correct. I didn't understand that there was the timeline of infinity for the building of the wall.

He promised to veto it if it didn't contain money for a wall. It's a great applause line he uses at his rallies, probably as recently as two or three days ago. But he didn't veto it. He signed it. Quietly, without any of the usual fanfare.

These are the budgets for the next year. No wall.

But keep telling yourself that he didn't lie to you.

When even Trump realizes that he has to shape up to avoid trouble, you know that things are looking very bad for the Republican administration. He excluded the media from the signing of this bill. He probably didn't want any of them there, who might ask him about the absence of funding for his wall.

No, he said Mexico would play for the wall. But how will that happen?

If you put a 20% import duty on goods coming from Mexico, that's not Mexico paying for the wall. Like all taxes, that simply is passed onto the consumer. So you pay $1.20 for a cucumber instead of $1. 20 cents goes to the the US government. The American consumer pays for the wall. Mexico gets economically hurt because higher prices mean less trade, but they're still not paying for the wall.

He isn't in office now and never has been. To keep the government running, his staff members have to exclude him from as much as possible and work around him, as though he wasn't there. He's like one of those congenitally-retarded kings, such as Charles II of Spain, whose inbred family died with him.
