70% of the American people support the wall. Any “negotiated” deal with the Rats means the president and American people get screwed. Trump should declare as much and start the wall through executive action. At least Trump can make the case in 2020 that the swamp and its judicial stooges will eventually be beaten in Supreme Court and the wall will be completed if he is re-elected.
I disagree. PDJT should get as much wall/fence money that he can, sign the bill into law and then immediately invoke section 284 to move funds around to fund additional wall/fencing. Unless the Dems want to fie a new bill that removes the newly appropriated funds there will be nothing they can do about it. Even if they file a lawsuit over the 284 issue, the construction will go forward with the new appropriated funds. Win-win.
