“The Art of the Deal”. Great! Who will he “deal” with and what will he trade for the wall? That’s just one part. You are so impressed by his “dealing”. In a deal you have to give up something to get something. What is he prepared to give up the get the wall built? I’m sure you must know as you purport in post after post to be the most knowledgeable trumpster on FR. I’m am not being snarky. What will he give up? What part of the American people will lose in his deal?
Life is not a zero sum game. Although we haven’t experienced it lately, and economy grows through many deals that benefit both parties.
As to what Donald Trump will give up to build the wall, he has already said that endangered species will likely be inconvienced to build the wall. So Americans will have to give up putting animals in front of people.
We have already given up so much that it is hard to recognize how much. Donald Trump is offering to lead a movement of the People to correct this and restore the country to its founding principals.
Now, you obviously don’t think that things can get better. You are probably correct, but some of us would at least like to try.
I am wondering if we stopped ALL aid and benefits to illegals, if the wall could be built with the generated savings? Just asking.
Another thought.... does the "wall" have to mean a physical metal and stone wall, or does it merely mean border security in many ways and methods, all adjusted to what is needed in each place along the border?

Without the U;S. as a safety valve Mexico would long ago have had a bloody revolution. By not exporting her poor and her criminals and drugs it would already have happened. We hold all the cards, Trump knows it, the few families that rule Mexico know it, and anybody that has paid attention knows it.
Here’s my guess: Mexico will build the wall for us *if* we don’t dump a bunch of illegals on their northern border. Trump has said he’d let the “good” ones back in. Might as well just let them stay and get the wall built, right? Deal made.
