Trump: Border wall construction will start on Monday
Washington examiner ^

Posted on 03/24/2018 5:00:01 PM PDT by MNDude

President Trump said Friday that construction of his promised border wall would start "immediately" after signing the omnibus spending bill, which included $1.6 billion in funding for the wall.

"We're going to be starting work literally on Monday," Trump said during an event Friday at the White House. "We have a lot of money coming to the border."

Trump had threatened earlier Friday to veto the spending bill Congress passed on Thursday because it did not include sufficient funding for the wall and because it omitted expiring protections for young, undocumented immigrants.

Agree with Coulter and Laura Ingraham. This is one massive betrayal by Trump. There is no way to even put lipstick on this pig. MAGA is over, get over it. Pelosi is all primed to take control of theSpeaker’s gavel after mid-terms.


They are both self interested bomb throwers. Do not give weight to their opinions. MAGA is not over. It has been derailed a bit by the Mueller soft coup and GOP enabling. Frankly, that POTUS has been able to get anything done while opposed by his OWN party is breathtaking.

We need to fully support POTUS because there is no alternative. It’s uniparty or Trump. It’s that simple. Sorry.

I wonder what the naysayers here on FR now have to say ?

I say it's another lie, just like he lied to the NRA to get elected, then turned right around and infringed the right to keep and bear arms. I say I'll say HOME in Nov 2020 rather than vote for this LIAR again.

Most of the people who loved...

Many people have loved.

Who is to determine those who’ve loved, and those who have not?

But my concern is, why aren’t we hearing about this? Why isn’t Trump glowing? Why doesn’t Ryan mention this? Certainly they know the base is pissed. I don’t see why hiding this does any good. Unless it’s not true?
 
For strategic reasons I would say - getting some "lead time" to get a lot of stuff arranged and set up before the communist's base constituency come around to the truth of what just really happened. They and the media are too busy ooking and eeking over the gun control shiny object to want to notice or report anything else for now. Trump's not worried about any heat from his own - he can take it, it's gonna be in short term anyway and will evaporate when the left starts their own bellyaching. Trump's working his butt off over the weekend before Monday morning comes around and a new game begins.

>>>That’s EXACTLY what I was going to ask. If this whole “Trump is really brilliant and he’s going to use the military money for the wall!” story is true - why not come out Friday, say that and rub it in the Democrats faces<<<

You mean like he did?

You’re deceiving us or you are deceived yourself. There’s $500M for Planned Parenthood. It’s right there in the bill.

I will believe it when I see it.

There was absolutely no downside to Trump vetoing the bill, and no upside for him to sign it.

But signing it soon after tweeting that he might veto it was (IMHO) a politically mortal mistake that will alienate enough voters to cost him the election in 2020.

Yes trump signed the death warrant for any wall ever. this is whay millions are so pissed. He told us “ we will build the wall even if we shut the government down!” But he sold us out to bloat the military. No wall at all!! Absolutely gone.
