The art of the deal has done it again folks. This wall will be funded.
What a intentionally misleading thread.

Would you expect anything else from Trump supporters? LOL

Last year, democrats were willing to give Donald Trump $25 BILLION for his wall. Trump turned it down.

Trump closed the gov't for the longest shut down in history, vowing that he would not reopen gov't until he got his full $5.7B for the wall. Trump failed as he reopened gov't a few weeks ago with ZERO wall funding.

Most gov't shutdowns end in compromise, with BOTH SIDES getting a little bit of what they want. But it looks like Trump won't even get a third of what he wanted, as the $1.3B number has been part of recent talks this past week for "border barrier."

A major loss for Trump, but leave it to his supporters to create thread like this to get out ahead of the story and spin it as a Trump "win," even though not even getting a THIRD of his $5.7 is nowhere near Trump "winning" and democrats "caving."

But many Trump supporters are unreasonable people, so what would you expect from them? LOL

Good, so...why are you here then?

Yea, damn he stick up for what he was elected for....I know it's a strange concept, to some, that he is actually doing that, and it appears many just don't like it. Oh well....

Holding to his promise....strange concept to you?

Nothing has been done for over a decade....signed border patrol....

Nope, and even though you say you don't hold people to their exact words...here you are doing it, again.

Remember, these are the same idiots who fully believed that Obama was born in Kenya. So yeah, it is painfully obvious.

I'll save you some time - you can't. It doesn't exist. He's been throwing screaming temper tantrums for 2 years, demanding tens of billions of dollars for some sort of barrier, but he has never once laid out a specific plan for exactly what he wants to build with that money.

You really never noticed that?

It's common knowledge that Trump wants to fix the inferior fencing on the 700 miles of border that congress had built years ago. It's also common knowledge that he wants to add an additional 300 miles of good physical barriers. Where have you been? Look it up yourself.


Screaming tantrums? lol! Oh the melodramatics of the left.

LOL, do you really believe that lie? Trump has repeatedly said he was a big shiny concrete 2000 mile wall that you can see from space.

If you want to watch the video of the livestream event yesterday in Tucson here it is. Only one protester!

WeFundTheWall has morphed into WeBuildTheWall now. There is a management team and advisory board of 'heavy hitters' some of whom spoke at the Town Hall. There are going to be other Town Halls across the country to raise more money and get more volunteers. By the way, President Trump has given his blessing to this effort.

Guests on the panel for Tucson were founder Brian Kolfage, Steve Bannon, Kris Kobach, Brandon Darby, ex-Congressman Tom Tancredo, an Angel Mom and an Angel Dad, with One America News moderator. Wonderful progress and all of your questions will be answered and fake news lies will be busted.

When I saw the time stamp on the video I figured I'd break it up and watch it in several sittings but it was so informative that I watched straight through, even the bonus interviews at the end. The first part was the tail end of media questions before the audience filed in. Venue totally filled up when panel started. I am better informed than most on border problems but you will hear things you never see reported elsewhere except alternative media. Very scary stuff that concerns all Americans including Democrats (which is why many have contributed). Highly recommend
