The wall won’t cost 40 billion. Funny how it went from 1.8 to 18 to now 40. By the weekend the wall will cost a trillion. The Border wall, like highway should be about 1 million per mile.

The wall should cost between 2.5 and 5 billion. Granted, by the time electronics, drones and additional agents are brought into the mix, that number will rise quite a bit.

Also, a good chunk of the work has already been done. The route along the border has been surveyed, the environmental study completed and at some point there was a contractor who provided a project schedule for completing it. Just dust it off, make modifications and off you go.

IMO, Trump should really punt one to the marbles. Setup a Treasury stop and announce to the land all donations sent will go DIRECTLY to pay for the wall.

Watch Leftists heads explode as the $$$ amount received eclipses ANYTHING in the ‘I want to pay MORE tax’ fund. Make sure BOTH are on a .gov website somewhere. Take PayPal, Hell, BITCOIN. They would lose their SH!T.
