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.
I say that President Trump will find a way to stretch the money 4x further than what the swamp rats think it will go. There are many inexpensive ways to build an effective barrier.
Read the EO from December 21 declaring we are in a state of national emergency. Both human and drug trafficking were mentioned
Then read the letters Trump sent Ryan and McConnell twenty minutes after he signed the bill (they were both in on it)
Both are pieces of the same puzzle
Don’t feed any crows to Ann Coulter.
1945: the buck stops here.
201: blame the voters.
*2018
I’m not holding my breath.
When do we start acting like we actually won?
That was quick. LMFAO.
Some serious forays into demoralization of the base being attempted in here the last couple of days.
Ya done good (but you knew that ;-)
Constitution Article 2 Section 3 gives the president authority to call one or both chambers into session. Do it if you consider Congress is reneging on its promises. Make them stay in session until the money is settled in law.
Pay attention
He’s already pulled three cards from his sleeve
1’E O in December 21
2 letter to Ryan and McConnell
3 enacting the 1984 Reagan act
thank you for the delicious zot!
How much is preserving the sovereignty of America worth to you as an American? If every person who voted for Trump donated $100, this would provide over an additional $6 billion for the wall. That’s a lot of money. I think he should go to the people and ask for this, with the promise that they’ll see it back in prosperity in America.
May be because Trump is not a career politician and has not spent years in the beltway and is still learning.
My guess is one of his new advisers such as Bolton or the most experienced DC lawyer DiGenova clued him in? IDK!
You know,...you need to shut up traitor. When did Trump say that Mexico would pay for the wall by? Give me a date big mouth.
You need to do some research. That’s fake news Listen to some of the kids on Facebook who have it right

Trump will be the most diabolically devious statesman of the past century.
And it will be glorious to behold.
Do it, Mr. President.
YES!! I LOVE it!! Please make it into a meme. Then, we can make bumper stickers, too :-)
