He is still waiting for Mexico to pay for the magic wall, I guess....something tells me he is in for a bit of a wait.
Yeah well you know those politicians from both parties. Long on promise and short on follow through.
I'm still waiting for my health insurance to cost about what my cellphone plan does.
Yeah and those illegals will have follow the same path as legals.
I actually loved listening to Obama speak. I want to stab my ears with an icepick when Trump blathers. That said he isn't the great satan some make him out to be and has had some wins.
Do I trust him? LMAO hell no. I never trust a politician and only foolish people do.
Trump calculates, probably correctly, that his supporters will support him no matter what he does, so why should he fight for a wall? The vast majority of his supporters will defend his position anyway, so he has no incentive to act on the wall.
Trump Signs Another Big Spending Bill With No Money For His Wall
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump quietly signed legislation on Friday that spends $853 billion on the Department of Defense and other federal agencies and zero dollars on his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The signature averts a partial government shutdown that would have taken place at midnight Monday had Trump vetoed the measure, as he has threatened to do for months if the Republican-led Congress failed to provide wall money.
“This shows the president to be a total wuss on the budget,” said Stan Collender, a longtime former staffer for both House and Senate budget committees.
In campaign rallies, Trump had repeatedly threatened to force a government shutdown if he did not get at least several billion dollars to start building a wall. On Sept. 20, two days after the Senate approved the latest spending package with a 93-7 vote, Trump wrote on Twitter: “I want to know, where is the money for Border Security and the WALL in this ridiculous Spending Bill, and where will it come from after the Midterms? Dems are obstructing Law Enforcement and Border Security. REPUBLICANS MUST FINALLY GET TOUGH!”
“This is the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt. Speak loudly and carry a small stick,” Collender laughed, adding that in future negotiations, congressional leaders will remember Trump’s failure to follow through on this threat. “The Hill doesn’t forget. They’re going to discount everything he says.”
Some of Trump’s supporters and informal advisers had been pushing him to veto the spending bill and force Congress to provide wall funding. They feared that his most enthusiastic supporters will sit out the midterm elections if they feel Trump has abandoned his first and most frequently repeated campaign promise.
“President Trump has made it clear he will not use his veto power to get his border wall,” said William Gheen, head of the hard-line group Americans for Legal Immigration. “He ramped up his rhetoric that he would veto spending bills that didn’t fund the wall, and here he is signing it.”
Trump signed the measure out of sight of the media. It was announced hours later in a press release that merely restates the bill’s dry, legislative summary. The bill provides a full year’s funding for the departments of Defense, Education, Labor and Health and Human Services, as well as funding through Dec. 7 for agencies not covered by this legislation or by a previous spending bill.
Trump promised from the day he began his campaign in June 2015 that he would build a “great wall” to end illegal immigration from Mexico.
“I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively,” Trump said in his Trump Tower announcement. “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
So what happened Republicans? You control both chambers of Congress yet you won't give him his wall.
Why not? Is it because he lied about Mexico paying for it?
No. It's because these gutless RINO's - are controlled by their big business donors - and don't want the wall. Just like the gutless democrats don't want the wall either -- they are looking to turn this country into a socialist state and they need the illegals to eventually do it.

So big business donors want to turn America into a socialist state where corrupt Wall Street bankers are jailed and workers own the means of production?
Why did Trump beg Wall Street for money to fund his election campaign? You dont believe he actually spent his own money do you?
