If you were elected president after decades of politicians doing nothing about the millions of illegals pouring into our country every year, committing crimes, dealing drugs, driving drunk, molesting children and killing Americans like Kate Steinle, and your central campaign promise -- repeated every day -- was to build a wall, wouldn't you have spent the entirety of your transition period working on getting it done?
Wouldn't you have been building prototypes, developing relationships with key congressional allies and talking to military leaders about using the Seabees or the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall?
Wouldn't you skip the inauguration and take the oath of office in San Diego so you could get started on supervising wall construction immediately after putting your hand on the Bible and being sworn in as the leader of the free world?
You would if you meant it.
Well, Donald Trump didn't do that.
OK, sure he could have taken the oath in D.C., gone to a few balls, then started the wall on day two of his presidency. But he didn't do that either.
Maybe I'm a literalist. A zealot. When people kept telling me to be patient -- the wall is coming! -- I nursed a private hope that I was wrong, and they were right.
It is now crystal clear that one of two things is true: Either Trump never intended to build the wall and was scamming voters all along, or he has no idea how to get it done and zero interest in finding out.
He sacrifices every opportunity to make the wall happen.
For two years, Trump pretended to believe the president of the United States needs express authorization from Congress to defend the nation's borders and blamed the Republican majority for not "funding" the wall.

This Romney/Christie lover can get bent. Sick of her nonsense.
Coming from the Woman that was screaming to vote for Hillary because of something she didn’t like with the republican candidates.
This woman is nuts. Schizo personality, 50% of the time appears to be conservative and the other 50% is worse than Benedict Arnold.
Fake News from a Fake Conservative.
Didn’t Trump say that if Congress does not cooperate, he would use the military to do the job?
A wall, is, after all, a line of defense.
She has a point but I am not there yet, and may never be.
Bingo.
I don’t put a lot of faith in an ‘expert’ that can’t get through two sentences without saying “Umm”.
Ann’s a never-Trumper of the worst kind. I’ve stopped liking her.
I don’t remember Trump making any statements in regard
to when the wall would be built.
I am not ready to abandon him at the first setback.
If anything this is on the hands of those who did not
vote republican in the last election.
Strong words, Ann
Trump has done great in a lot of areas and I don’t want to lose sight of that - but I am getting impatient... this is the second time he has kicked the can down the road, I hope his base doesn’t lose faith but this sort of thing isn’t making it easier.
I am pretty patient too, not said anything remotely negative about Trump and his promise for the wall until now.
We need action, and soon.
Ann is right, when she writes about PDJT:
“On the basis of his self-interest alone, he must know that if he doesn’t build the wall, he has zero chance of being re-elected and a 100 percent chance of being utterly humiliated.”
In the words of a friend of mine when a person is facing a hard decision, “Are you a man, or are you a mouse?”
It’s time for PDJT to man up and be strong. If he builds the wall there will be many arrows. But, he can survive with the support of the people.

Maybe she's dating Bill Maher again.
I would be interested in why some disregard Ann’s reasoning and thoughts instead of merely attacking her ad hominem.

The Wall was and is what 'Lock Her Up' was: Just buzz and no substance.
Ann, do you need us to explain the difference between a King and a President? Let us know when you’d like to quit making a fool of yourself.
The man is fighting literally every other person in government, and you pick on him as if it’s all his fault.

He has one last chance to build the wall. Once the 'rats take control, IT'S OVER.
He got zero support from Congress. Does she want him to be a dictator?
I agree. This was NEVER going to be easy. The deep state & open borders crowd stole this country from us.
It’s going to take years to win this fight, if we even can! I’m not walking away from Trump, period. The abuse he’s been subjected to has been historic, and for this idiot to talk like this about the president is an utter disgrace.
