Fake news?
And the leftist sharks will have a feeding frenzy.
What has happened to Trump’s promises?
The Republicans just may be a doomed party.
They have a well developed talent for snatching defeat fom the jaws of victory.
I am beginning to believe that there is only one road to victory against progressives, thanks to our spineless RINOs, and that road is not a pleasant one.

Don’t let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.
......”What has happened to Trumps promises?”.....
Too early to have such a question in light of what he’s already done and what’s on the table he’s contending with....give him the room he needs to pull it all off well....100 days is not enough with a Republican Congress dragging their feet. Put the problem where it belongs.
Fake News? Trump just tweeted that!
President Trump on Tuesday assured the American people that he has not changed his mind about building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, although he asserted on Monday that he is willing to wait until the fall for Congress to approve funding for the project.
Dont let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL, Trump tweeted. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.

The Secure Fence Act of 2006
The Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by President George W. Bush, authorized about 700 miles of fencing along certain stretches of land between the border of the United States and Mexico.
The act also authorized the use of more vehicle barriers, checkpoints and lighting to curb illegal immigration, and the use of advanced technology such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles.
At the time the act was being considered, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer were all members of the Senate. (Schumer of New York is now the Senate minority leader.)
Obama, Clinton, Schumer and 23 other Democratic senators voted in favor of the act when it passed in the Senate by a vote of 80 to 19.
Originally, the act called on the Department of Homeland Security to install at least two layers of reinforced fencing along some stretches of the border. That was amended later, however, through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, which got rid of the double-layer requirement.
Currently, 702 miles of fencing separates the United States from Mexico, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Mulvaney said that Obama, Schumer and Clinton voted for a border wall in 2006.
They did vote for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorized building a fence along about 700 miles of the border between the United States and Mexico.

“...What has happened to Trumps promises?...”

I didn’t realize his presidency was over....
I thought he was only 3 months in....
If Trump fails to build the wall... and tries to blame it one congress... he will NOT be re-elected.
period.
Trump can build the wall with the military if needed.
Don’t care about funding. Care about building.
More on WHY this law was not enacted.....

Bush made a deal with the Dems - he agreed to raise taxes, they promised to cut spending.
But what really happened? The demons increased spending and all we heard from the demons and the media (redunancy alert!) was - "Bush said "read my lips ..."
They are liars; they are despicable; they are EVIL.
DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM - EVER!
This is on us. We’re the ones who keep re-electing these spineless RINOs. 2018 needs to be the time when we give Trump 216 Congressmen who share our views and support his agenda. He shouldn’t have to be dragging the GOP to support the wall / 0care repeal, they should be there already.
Let’s start with Ryan and use 2018 to rebuild the GOP with people who’ll have Trump’s back.
Trump stand strong on this issue.
Shut the government down, if need be. Do NOT back down on this.
I’m completely series.
“What has happened to Trumps promises?”
Why do you people keep just reacting to these stories with these stupid posts?
You people just ignore everything he has done, and then all it takes is some AP blurb to get passed around for you guys to just fall out like babies.
He’s been in office barely 100 damn days, and you guys act as if 100% of every damn thing needs to have been accomplished RIGHT NOW or else Trump was actually LYING to you or something.
Why on Earth cant the Democrats be cursed with flaky voters like this?
Gays voted for Obama TWICE and it took until 2014 until the dude endorsed gay marriage!
100 days in and a 2000 mile physical damn wall not fully completed cause conservatives to whine that “Trump isnt keeping his promises”.
Seriously some of you need to get a %^$^#^@ grip.
They blow far more money on pure crap, we need to vote out anyone that is in office, period
Yep, Trump just needs to shut the government down.
It’s a win either way for him that way!
I suspect he is finding running the government is a lot harder than running a business.
You can’t treat it the same.
Just look at what it takes to fire people in the govt.
Just look at the VA employees who stole $400K. Do they still have a job???
Someone said here that there is an EO from decades ago that could actually be rescinded to get a better grip on firing people.
