D.C. I knew that was going to be your reaction ... but ... what IF I'm right? It would line his pockets, his cronies pockets, gets the American economy booming again ... it simply fits Trump.
I understand how you've arrived at this...by assigning your preconceived motives.
You obviously don't know 'Trump', the man, vs. Trump, the businessman.
Above all else, President Trump wants to be loved. He...and I...honestly believe that he can, at the very least, get this Baby turned around. I believe he takes great pride in being able to say "I TOLD YOU SO!"
....just like we see everyday here on the forum.
So yes, he knows that in order to keep his base, he has to find a way to physically start building this thing...BEFORE 2018!
He got the Trillion dollars from Congress for his Infrastructure Bill.
The Border Wall is Infrastructure.
End of discussion, really. (between Trump and whomever)
