Trump, I am sorry to be obsessed with the wall.
But YOU PROMISED.
BUILD. THE. WALL.
Do not slow down on this. Build it. All of it.
Right now.

Full story.
Yes, KEEP THE PROMISE.
I will not be at all surprised if you don’t see, out of that $20b in Saudi “infrastructure” money, about $10b or so in a direct grant to the state of TX for the purpose of building the wall.
Congress could do NOTHING about this. As long as it is built (by the state) to fed specs, this would be an workable end run around Congress which is going to try to cut the funding. Moreover, he can then do the same with AZ, using all Congressional money for CA and NM where there are less sympathetic governors.
Bibi gave him some bucks today and said to spend it on on wall if he wants to.

If the lilly livered spineless creeps that we call Republicans can’t ‘afford’ to push the ‘yes’ button, the American People will fund the wall, and we will maintain it and we will say who goes in and out of our country...
You prizzy pink laced panties wearers in the ‘swamp’ can’t stand for something, then by darn The American Voters, that you by the way work for, will!!!
He also promised not to cut Medicaid...
He doesn’t need Congress to end the illegal and unconstitutional DACA program.
This was the centerpiece of his entire presidential campaign. What the hell is he doing? Makes absolutely no sense.
Trump needs to campaign for the wall.
And there is still no plan to force Mexico to pay for the project as the president vowed throughout the campaign.
*************
But options exist and can be put in place later, imo.
Example:
Raise the transfer fee for money sent to Mexico each Thursday about 3pm.
Read my lips: No new taxes!!! Read my lips: We are going to build a big, beautiful wall and Mexico will pay for it. See any similarities?
2017 United States federal budget
I understand that Trump is rolling up his sleves with respect to things like his wall for the ’17-’18 federal budget.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Not worried.
1. If media reports it, be skeptical.
2. Listen to/watch DJT and not the media.
3. Realize DJT has built plenty of things, and knows how to get it done. Monies not specifically designated for a wall may still be used for a wall.
4. Relax.

I’m fine with the US paying for the Wall - the whole idea of having Mexico pay for it sounded like a non-starter anyway - it’s our border, our border security and we should want to pay for it. But the Wall must be built - it was the core issue of Trump’s campaign and the reason many of us voted for him. Waver on this and he can kiss his re-election chances goodbye.
If Trump slacks on the wall and illegal immigration the republicans will lose in 2018.
The wall would be welcome language for liberals if it was to prevent people from leaving and avoiding paying the IRS, with watchtowers and shootings those who have passports confiscated seeking a foreign one.
Take the dollars ‘we the people’ are forced by the long arm of the law that funds religious charities and use it to build that wall. Just like Rome’s wall around it’s ‘high’ place.
